By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI think they'll be good, but I think they'll end up being maybe a piece away from being a consistent ECF or finals team. You can't afford to waste the real estate the sixers did. It wasn't their fault, but when you waste 3 top 5 picks–that's going to count for something down the road. Nerlens and Jah weren't bad picks at the time but wasted top picks are wasted top picks. And Fultz was not a player worth trading a future top 5 pick for just to move up two spots.
Way too early to rule out Fultz being a difference-maker, considering Philly had Dr. Nick Riviera advising him to play through an injury his first two months in the league.
Watching Tatum ball the fuck out with ridiculous efficiency would be the only real regret, he's by far Ainge's best high pick.
By kjack Go To PostHow do you not start Clarkson?
Luke like his bench scoring. He should be though
By Kibner Go To Post
He just needs to take 100% of his shots from the free throw line and he'll be fine.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostHe just needs to take 100% of his shots from the free throw line and he'll be fine.No no, he's bad at the ft line, too. He needs to step below it but not below the dotted circle.

damn
First time getting shook by Clarkson and now this. He's been scattered on defense. He's also often awkward in the air, that's why he got blocked 3 times against the Clips and missed 3 dunks in one night earlier. He's so huge, but a lot of times he doesn't take off with force, it's weird.
By Stern Go To PostIf anyone wants to talk about wasting top picks, the Sixers' opponent tonight is Example Uno.
Funny enough, Ingram is playing really well tonight, and Kuzma was clearly a late-round gem.
So the Magic are a mirage, right? They're going to fall off starting right around now?
"That's his shot."

Hope I am wrong on this one but I feel like Lonzo peaked as player. I more or less know what he going be as a player. Med- High level starter that can't shoot

*Week 4 of his career*
"Lonzo has peaked."
Am I a bad person if I kind of want this to be true just for the humour value?

Which is weird because don't they have him booked as their main attraction pretty much all year?
By livefromkyoto Go To PostWhich is weird because don't they have him booked as their main attraction pretty much all year?At some point your manager demands one too many TPS reports and you gotta burn the building down.
LMAO. Lonzo could be a J Kidd late-career 3 point specialist in 15 years, he could be a tall Ricky Rubio, he could be the next MCW and bounce between 8 teams in 10 years...but we can't know any of that after a month.

Boooooo-ring.
I'm going with the 4-week-peak take.
Everyone has a Lonzo take so whatever, but one thing I've noticed is he's running the offense less often as the year has gone on. They need to "fix" that before they get to his shot.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostWhich is weird because don't they have him booked as their main attraction pretty much all year?Clowning ball is fun tho
Lonzo just needs to adjust his game. The UCLA run the floor and jack long 3s offense isn't viable (especially when your shot has issues). He's quicker than people give him credit (he's gotten by people a lot tonight but was shook so he passed the ball) and plays better defense than I expected. I'm not counting him out but there is work to be done...hopefully he's down for that and not stubborn about it.

this is true.
then again I believed against my better judgement in MCW for a while there IIRC. So I'm not always fatalistic
