By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostShould be presidential rules, play where you were born.This would be a net negative for mostly Non-US teams. Puerto Rico would lose the majority of their roster.
I think countries that don't allow dual citizenship should be allowed to do this, though.
By DY_nasty Go To Postware is niceYeah he's definitely flawed but I don't think there's much difference between him as a prospect and most of the lottery guys.
By DY_nasty Go To Postdalton is really ……yikesI only saw him against Purdue in the tournament but he was way better than this
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostShould be presidential rules, play where you were born.Naw that's dumb. lol
Knecht definitely having a rough summer league, not that it means much
Sucks Ayton didn’t make it to the Olympics, would have been a hell of a story.

I know they have a lot of returners but the Hornets summer league team is so much better this year lol.

Makes think about the role players who balled out during the Olympics. I remember Arroyo and RHJ looking ridiculous out there
Wondering based on this game whether Hansen Yang's AST:TO ratio in the CBA is a case of stat manipulation lol. Actually not just based on this game, he also had a ton of turnovers in FIBA competition earlier this year (and even in the CBA playoffs where people are maybe paying more attention).

hansen is raw as fuck but like..... he's making the reads a full second before his guards a lot of the time. and on top of that, they don't even gather properly or cut with their shoulders flat lol. honestly, the sooner he leaves the better. there's a good prospect in there - probably not a jokic or anything but if fucking bitadze can stick, he can too.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti watched both china games because why notYeah I think he's probably a legit NBA prospect, he's just a lot rawer than I thought he would be. Probably like you said because he doesn't face good enough competition over there. I've been trying to care less about competition level because of it not mattering for Amen and Ausar but I probably took it too far.

china will probably catch a game off of someone before vegas is over with too tbh
but its really just who he's playing with. can't speak for the FIBA stuff, but here its really just the guards he's playing with

There needs to be a study done on why China is so bad and can't produce NBA players despite seemingly loving basketball. Also, rookies being held out of summer league games is weird.

nba and ncaa teams have events over there all the time
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThere needs to be a study done on why China is so bad and can't produce NBA players despite seemingly loving basketball. Also, rookies being held out of summer league games is weird.this might be outdated, but a decade ago, they only made efforts to train people who are tall as little kids. if you weren't tall for a 10 year old or whatever, you would basically have to teach yourself.
Possibly something about how they're trained as well, like not putting someone above the team or some other communist ideal that prevents kids from playing to their talent?
I don't think that's it and its probably easier than ever to cross train with multiple sports
Its probably just the coaching. Its easy to identify the lanky kid with a potential NBA body. Outside of the future centers, there's still a lot of kids that just need foundational stuff for other positions.

What's even weirder is that on IG there's Chinese trainers with a ton of followers and they all seem to emulate Kyrie or Kobe, so you'd at least expect 1 kid out of the millions to have a budget Kobe or Lil Mountain type game and show out in fiba.

That makes sense but even then the sheer numbers should mean just one of them should be a really talented big. Their training must be so rigid and positions based with little creativity allowed.
Demon Edey debuts tonight against the Utah All Stars. Finally a game with more than one real prospect (sorry Bronny).
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThat makes sense but even then the sheer numbers should mean just one of them should be a really talented big. Their training must be so rigid and positions based with little creativity allowed.Yeah, that is likely. You know how coaches can already be militant in the US. Imagine some backed by the CCP and given explicit instructions to train for Olympic performances.
The kids that get training are the ones that are already tall. So, you only have shorties learning street ball and they don't have many bigs to practice against (and vice versa). It makes some sense that they seem somewhat inexperienced, because they probably are.
tell me you don't know basketball without telling me you don't know basketball
None of these national folks are even asking themselves why the Pels and Blazers would even consider this. Neither of those dudes fit with what they want to do long-term, both teams would be left in the same situation as before -- maybe worse.

UConn, Dan Hurley agree to new 6-year, $50M deal
The Lakers reportedly entered a bid of around $70 million over six years to hire Hurley.lol, bet you anything Hurley walked away from $20m because Lebron would have to be his daddy.
Agreed. Makes 0 sense. Ingram's a very good player but that's not really what they're looking for. At this point they need to draft or trade for a really young, a no BS star wing/PF. They're hunting for the kind of stuff the Pels have 0 interest in moving- like Trey Murphy.
But hey, if they wanted to flip the guy for Timelord and the remaining bits of the Bucks entire future the Blazers might jump at it, haha.
They're probably just going to sit pat unless somebody gives them a stupid good offer for Grant, tank and try to get Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. Which is the right move despite what certain TB vloggers are saying.

By Kabro Go To Posthttps://www.thescore.com/ncaab/news/2937283There was also a report that Terry Stotts refused to even interview with the Lakers 3 straight times. I assume they gave him a call before they hired Vogel, Ham, and Redick. He said no each time lol.

Young Sabonis would've been Jokic-tier in the NBA, it's a real shame we never got to see him do his thing at his athletic pre-injury peak.

He's so mobile in this when he was much skinnier and lighter on his feet. He's doing fadeaways with a beautiful touch ala Dirk. It's nuts.
