By Rob Go To PostDon’t mean to cheer for an injury.i think mavs were going to tie it 2-2 regardless. btw finals is boring so far so does it really matter if it goes longer.
But hopefully this means we get basketball a little longer

Can I ask a Q?
Reading this list and there are a million dudes I’ve never heard of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._men%27s_college_basketball_national_player_of_the_year_awards
In particular this guy - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Hansbrough
How does someone sweep best college player awards and go 13th in the draft? The year after KD swept, no less!
Everyone says he was the college player of the year but that only translates to 13th?
edit : or this one - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Mason_III. One year before Brunson. Wins every award going. 34th. Now playing for SLUC Nancy Basket!

Some guys peak early and a lot of guys only thrive in college because their game is built for college.

Mavs winning it simply due to a Porzingis injury is some dark poetry

By reilo Go To PostmmmhmmConsidering Reed was a SG in college, it's always interesting to see how guys handle a new role full time in the NBA
I honestly think it comes down to that if you're not a Top 3 small PG in the NBA you're not making the ASG. The guard positions are too stacked.
And the gap between a top PG and not can be a chasm – that doesn't mean that non-ASG PGs are not good it's just that those that make it are too good and it's a high bar to reach.
If Reed's ceiling is even Trae or Lillard that's a really really really high bar for a small PG.

By DY_nasty Go To PostKentucky backcourt positions are basically interchangeableI guess so, but knowing that you don't have to handle the rock full time is a huge crutch. So it will be interesting to watch
By Sharp Go To PostYou don't care about these finals but you're refreshing for Porzingis injury updates?i get it in my feed automatically from shams on twitter my dude.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCan I ask a Q?i don't watch college but from my understanding is that dudes that are great in college are usually older. 22 vs 17-18 makes a huge difference.

they dominate younger freshman out of high school but can't handle grown ups. doesn't matter that much if they are undersized in college because not everyone in NCAA is a freak like the ones who make it into the nba.
both the dudes that you posted won their awards in their last year.

Frank Mason was actually 23.2 years old when he got drafted
that's 6 months older than Ant is right now with 4 nba seasons under his belt and Frank is 5'11.

Zach Edey is the back to back national player of the year and he'll go later than that.

Go To PostZach Edey is the back to back national player of the year and he'll go later than that.i still really want him to fall to the pels and the pels just play bully ball with everyone next season. make everyone bruised after a game. be one of those teams where opponents do worse than normal in games after playing the pels.

By Kibner Go To Posti still really want him to fall to the pels and the pels just play bully ball with everyone next season. make everyone bruised after a game. be one of those teams where opponents do worse than normal in games after playing the pels.I think he's unlikely to fall that far, even this All Star likelihood model that you'd think would be heavily weighted against guys with his profile thinks he should be drafted in the top half of the lottery (not saying that he'll go top 10, but I kind of think Givony is cooking saying he'll go in the lottery. He's just kind of too big and productive to fail).

A guy got a big database of 80s-90s games and set up a system to look at random possessions to build up old RAPM data without literally watching every game. The main interesting thing that I've learned from this: Malone was the statpadding fraud, not Stockton (we already had hints of this from the 98+ ppp data but there was always the possibility him sucking in his old age just made Stockton look better after he left, but it turns out that was always their dynamic).
(Also old Kareem >= old LeBron in terms of both offensive and defensive impact, which I guess is kinda interesting for people who care about that sort of thing).
