By DY_nasty Go To Posti know its preseason but you shouldn't be on the other end of a thrillsap mixtape in 2020Not watching that game but I saw this tweet and I take it things aren't going well for the Blazers :
Lonzo is actually making reads out of the PnR in the preseason instead of giving up on a drive for an early pass or forcing an ugly drive attempt. Progress.
Think all the rookies and young players gonna be better than expected cause all they did the last 9 months is workout.

So you're basically just giving up basketball.
Could be worse. Could root for the Knicks.
Having a short basketball discussion with a friend of mine about what Lonzo's offensive philosophy should be:
π
By friendHe needs to be a credible threat, not a wrecking ball.
It's not about the drive, it's about controlling the opposition to set up your next set of options.
He needs to see it in that light.
By kibnerI always see it as forcing the opponent to have to make a decision in order to force them into a mistake. It is much harder to do that if you don't put them under some kind of pressure.
By friendTo me, the mistake is a bonus. You just want them where you want them assuming they are competent and executing correctly. So, you need to know what they want to do and use it against them.
Nothing creates outrage like punishing good behavior

kjack, you can officially bury your Cavs gear now. Next to Fluffy in the backyard, or just cremate that shit. Whatever you prefer.
That was the last preseason game? Well now I have to watch it, have to see how they looked and who played where.
EDIT: Really interested in seeing Myles Powell.

I know just preseason but how can you not get better on offense just working out for months on end?
By DY_nasty Go To PostI think its Burke, but it must go even further back.Flynn
By Kibner Go To PostLonzo actually using screens effectively to score. I like.
Nothing motivates you to step up like a little brother about to talk shit at the next BBQ
By The Frankman Go To PostDamn Quickley really throwing himself in the PG discussion.
I find the whole situation perplexing. How is he showing PG prowess when he doesn't seem to have played at the 1 spot in KY?
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostI find the whole situation perplexing. How is he showing PG prowess when he doesn't seem to have played at the 1 spot in KY?
Just googled him and it seems like he was a PG coming out of HS. Maybe it's another Coach Cal guard that's better player than his junk system shows.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostI find the whole situation perplexing. How is he showing PG prowess when he doesn't seem to have played at the 1 spot in KY?Would that make it impossible for him to be a good PG?
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostJust googled him and it seems like he was a PG coming out of HS. Maybe it's another Coach Cal guard that's better player than his junk system shows.KY guards are all shooting guards in that system
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostI find the whole situation perplexing. How is he showing PG prowess when he doesn't seem to have played at the 1 spot in KY?He played a lot of off ball as a sophomore but played a lot of point as a freshman apparently.
EDIT: One thing I remembered from the Hoop Intellect scouting vid is his floater game is on point.
Devin Booker is pretty much proof that Kentucky doesn't showcase a guard's full talent. He wasn't even allowed to dribble in college.
By domino Go To PostHe threw himself under the busYeah he's been on my shit list ever since he took that medal from Trump. The players weren't going to the White House. That shitty medal was totally unnecessary and he could've waited to get it from Biden anyway.
By Kuma Go To PostKevin Durant is good at basketball
mans just moves different, demigod
By DY_nasty Go To PostDevin Booker is pretty much proof that Kentucky doesn't showcase a guard's full talent. He wasn't even allowed to dribble in college.Cal made him sit behind the bum ass Harrison twins just so they wouldnβt throw a tantrum π
re kentucky guys--tyrese maxey's gonna be good, easily the best dribble-drive guy the sixers have had since jrue holiday maybe...prob can't run an offense tho
Man the 2021 draft is crazy, cause I've seen this kid mocked at like the 5th pick.

just watched the 2nd half of UK/UNC and the spacing in that compared to Gonzaga offense is like a different sport
