Our GM went on Woj's podcast and talked about how according to the data from the league we have been getting jobbed by the refs and he pointed that out to them in hopes it would get better. It might have made it worse lol.
By giririsss Go To PostHis passes aren't on point. Which means he's either a bad passer or not that great at reading offenses as people like to make out.
And he hasn't even tried on D. Which isn't a massive flag. But it's one thing to keep in mind.
His shot is slow and low. It has a high chance of not translating. And this is a guy that looks like he's going to really need that shot.
Add in a loud mouthed highly opinionated dramatic media attention seeking father… Why do you need that drama to your team / locker room. You don't need his dumb ass to start doing interviews in LA criticising your GM.
Naw. I really don't like Ball. His ceiling is super high. But that floor has China written all over it.
late as fuck but this is kinda where I am at with Ball too. I am currently in the stage where everyone is fine because of not knowing where we will be picking but Ball has fallen down the list quite a bit. Fox ate his soul and most PGs in the NBA have similar traits to Fox...and a lot of the destruction happened on screens...a major part of the NBA game. Ball seemed to get a lot of his fancy passing stats on fastbreak 3s, which is neat but not something to hang your hat on. Another major part of the game is being able to take even semi contested shots at time...especially as a main ballhandler in those end of shot clock situations. TJ Whodafuk often has to get shots for us as our "offense" dies and surprisingly does a admirable job at times despite not having a jumper at all...because he can get into the paint and make tough contested jumpers. I think I saw Ball take an off the dribble jumper like 5 times all year and with his lower trajectory you have to wonder what NBA defenders will do to make him have to do so even more to even get a clean look off.
As for his Dad, I'm ok with him talking shit but man is he setting the stage for his son to get Brandon Knight'd every night. I remember when MCW was getting high praise and suddenly other PGs made it their mission to clown him as hard as possible...Wall for example use to go INNNNN against him.
Now I just spent a bit shitting on him but to be fair, he simply ran the system has was asked to run. A system that looked for shots for Alford and Hamilton and pushed the pace...so a lot of it "could" just be a case of small sample size. I mean a 6'6 guy with at the very least some PG skills is still someone worth trying to develop....but lord he's definitely a guy who will need a very specific situation and set of expectations. The Lakers damn sure is not that situation
By unknown Go To Postpilon is lowkey worried about the rockets in the playoffs
Have you seen any of the Warriors rockets games this year? They just beat them twice in a week without Durant
By IWMTB19 Go To PostJazz: 11/16 from threeWolves: 24/24 from the line

By diehard Go To PostRubio has hit 6 jumpshots, its always against us i swear.He has a credible jump shot now. Force him to take a shot around the rim, though, and you can laugh.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostDamn i love dekk

By Kibner Go To PostHe has a credible jump shot now. Force him to take a shot around the rim, though, and you can laugh.true but according to my crappy math he his around 1.8ish? per game and he's got 7 now
By diehard Go To Posttrue but according to my crappy math he his around 1.8ish? per game and he's got 7 nowHow many has he missed tonight? He could just be looking for his shot more this game.
By Kibner Go To PostHow many has he missed tonight? He could just be looking for his shot more this game.3 i think

The biggest asset he has going for him is that he's 6'6". Who can, supposedly, run an offense.
I'm just not sure that's the reason you draft him #2 given the body of work in relation, to date.
By pkaz01 Go To PostSuns going for the go up and lose this time, versatile tankingDone it several times. Really not worried at all.
Think it's more of a fuck you to YNB.
By giririsss Go To PostLmao.Fuck him indeed, these youngins got heart, everyome was saying its a gaurantee he will get it, which he still might, just not as easy as ppl said
Suns going for 70 in the half?

By diehard Go To Post3 i thinkYeah, that's much better than normal.
By giririsss Go To PostNaw. I really don't like Ball. His ceiling is super high. But that floor has China written all over it.

They're booing Adams when he doesn't shoot, there were "Lets go Westbrook" and "MVP" chants as well
