By pilonv1 Go To PostThe bar is so low that 5/10 shooting against borderline NBA players is considered *good*imagine hating on the 55 pick so hard 😂
Bronny bouncing back

I don't hate on him, just all the bullshit around him. No kid deserves this much pressure
What pressure? His ceiling is a solid role player. No one expects him to be an all star.
His dad was hyped up to be the next GOAT when he was 16.

The odds to win NBA Rookie of the Year have shuffled since the start of summer league, with the Memphis Grizzlies' Zach Edey now the consensus betting favorite at sportsbooks. But the most popular pick by bettors so far is a massive long shot with a famous last name.
More bets have been placed on Bronny James to win Rookie of the Year (ROY) than any other player at multiple sportsbooks. James has attracted nearly one in four of the bets placed on the ROY market at ESPN BET. BetMGM reported taking a $1,000 ROY bet on James at 250-1 on July 6, from a bettor in Ontario, and DraftKings said that only Edey had attracted more money wagered than James in its ROY market.

Their games are smooth looking, old heads loved Gervin for the same reason. If you look like you're not trying hard and still giving people hell the fans are gonna love you
This is why I'm not so sure the Bridges trade was an "overpay" lol. Like every guy who gets traded to New York lately immediately has a career year.
I’ve said it before but Christmas Day T-Mac is the greatest basketball player to ever live. He made that trash ass Magic team worth watching cuz you knew no matter what, he was gonna go off.
As much fun as we've had shitting on Sarr, worth remembering:
(yes I'm aware he's at like half the FG% of all these guys)

Yeah, the only thing I learned about Sarr is that he's a couple years away from being a couple years away from... whatever he turns into. That's actually fine since that Wiz team is still in the process of bottoming out and won't be competitive again for at least 5-6 years.
Dude's quick on his feet and has some definite defensive upside. But he's basically a blank slate that needs to be trained up from scratch.
To be fair, in this draft class there's only 3-5 guys that might actually be decent right away that I've seen. 3 of those are lottery guys.

Last year was a pretty big outlier with so many rookies playing winning basketball.

By DY_nasty Go To PostlolNobody saying a stud or anything. Let him have his decent game
Team France literally has no offensive gameplan other than Wemby iso, every other possession they just pass the ball around the perimeter until someone chucks up a late shot clock three or charge wildly into the paint hoping for a bailout call.
By Sharp Go To PostTeam France literally has no offensive gameplan other than Wemby iso, every other possession they just pass the ball around the perimeter until someone chucks up a late shot clock three.Is Pop coaching?
I don't understand why they don't just spam this every time, it's their only consistently effective play and Canada doesn't have a good enough center to counter it.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostFrench guards suck, they won't be a real threat until they have an NBA guardFrank Ntilikina is good.
By unknown Go To PostFrank Ntilikina is good.Ntilikina had a negative PER last season (I didn't actually know that was possible) and just signed with Partizan in the Euroleague. He's neither good nor an NBA guard.
Don't even mention Ntilikina, trying to remind me of when we were in PG poverty. I need a palate cleanser...
That's better.
That's better.
Finally watching Buzelis. He looks good when he's driving to the rim, though he's not finishing well today. Defense doesn't respect his shot at all, they kinda act like they want him to shoot lol. He seems to decide whether he's going to shoot or pass the moment he gets the ball and doesn't change his mind afterwards. I see the vision I suppose but he just feels like another gamble on an athletic big guy, #12 was probably an okay slot for him.
(He does have five steals. I didn't see most of them but the two I did see were summer league "pass directly to the other team" type stuff).
Ended up scoring 1 1 points on 4/17 shooting (1/6 from three, 2/2 from the line). 2 rebounds. 1:5 AST:TO. -7 in a 4 point win. Just didn't impact the game much. Maybe he looked better in the first half.

As a person? Probably, seems like a good dude. As a basketball player he's awful
By masud Go To PostDon't even mention Ntilikina, trying to remind me of when we were in PG poverty. I need a palate cleanser…we need a big.
That's better.
Also I apologize for saying I didn't see much of a difference between Sarr and Ware pre-draft, Ware is soooo much better right now. He absolutely loves dunking on people and drawing fouls.
By Sharp Go To PostDude that Heat - Raptors score can't be real… 56-16 after 17 minutes?Why even tweet this
Have some shame
Don't worry Sharp, Clingan only took that second three cause they blew the out of bounds play
And good god noone knows how to throw the ball up high to him lmao

By reilo Go To PostClingan's offense needs A LOT of workIt's a testament to how insane his defense is that I still think he's had a pretty good summer league.
By Sharp Go To PostIt's a testament to how insane his defense is that I still think he's had a pretty good summer league.I agree, but he's just... whatever he has for fluidity and feel for the game on the defensive end, he just has no foot work in the post. He's rushing.
He needs patience: shoulder into the chest, rise up, hook over your other shoulder
