IMO, Sheppard being excellent on catch and shoot 3’s may be enough if his passing shines as well as I think it will. His passing is a tier above Dillingham’s and may be the reason he stands shoulder to shoulder with him offensively.

Draft a wing instead of a PG, and get Chris Paul, not only to get the ball to Wemby but also to teach him the "game within the game" stuff. Trade a far-out pick for proven veteran shooting, someone to replace Champagnie in the starting lineup. Some other personnel changes here and there. Then go...

It's the next day, little insecure beta ankle biter.

If you watched enough Kentucky, you saw that Sheppard could or did not get his shot off against pressure. He was a very good off-ball shooter, a potentially incredible one. This was a reason why Dillingham was much more responsible in getting the offense going. Dillingham was not often...

100%. It's like these fans are hoping Holt or Jerry Jones is going to cut them a check for saving a little bit on payroll, instead of raising the price of hotdogs by another dollar.

Honestly it's not so much about believing in Dillingham as it is thinking he's one of the better options of an extremely underwhelming draft class and at a position of critical need. Though the odds are pretty decent he'll be gone by the time the Spurs pick anyways.

Chuncko trying to evict you from the duplex but can't quit you! Back to sulking and hiding to save his fat fingered "legacy!"

7/8 in this draft is the equivalent of 15/16 in an average draft. I want to believe in Dillingham. Maybe he has spent the time since the tournament bulking up and building strength and will weigh in at 180 and assuage concerns about his size.

and on that note, Vassell is a legit 6'5 and change, with a solid wingspan. not exactly skinny/frail either. he was small-ish for a forward, but well sized for a guard

Good to see that backstabbing mofo Doc Rivers get bounced. Alpha mike foxtrot.

I think context is important when talking about small guards and back courts generally. A 6'2" PG paired with a 6'6" SG is fine, as was the case for the successful years of Steph with 6'6" Klay, Kyrie with 6'6" JR Smith, Lowry with 6'6" Danny Green, Parker with 6'6" Manu/Green/Barry etc... The...

If by role you mean 6'1.5" off ball guard who thrives on open, catch and shoot 3s, then sorry but that kills the appeal for me when we're talking top 7/8. Again, very efficient, very fast release, clearly has a lot of range, super smart, very good passer, but I need to see a glimpse of tough shot...

Sheppard was playing about 30 minutes per game and averaged 4.6 3pa per game, which is a lower rate on a per minute basis than, say, champagnie (about 5.5 per 30 minutes) dillingham played less minutes than sheppard but shot as many 3's. if you adjusted the numbers to reflect the minutes, he...

For Sheppard’s likely role, he wouldn’t be called upon to create too much. So the shot discipline is what you’d want.

Sure, but the point is whether he's selecting good shots for his team or for himself, and those 2 are not necessarily the same thing. Sometimes you taking a suboptimal shot may be the best route for your team.

Is this me still talking to myself? I bet if you were flying to Brownsville you wouldn't have mentioned it.

Or you could say that Sheppard has good shot selection.

When it comes to shooting a lot of this has to do with the degree of difficulty. Of course any smart and unselfish player will avoid taking a shot if they think there is a better one to be had by moving the ball, but sometimes that devolves into a game of hot potato where a player avoids taking a...

Dillingham is very short and slight. I'm not entirely sure I buy him as taller than six foot. With shoes? Sure. But I'm not sure what the appreciable difference between Parker, Sheppard, Dillingham, or Young is in terms of size. What does size impact? Rebounding. Ability to guard bigs on...

Tbh, after all those reports about RC going to Slovenia a handful of times and still drafting Samanic, idk if their scouting is to be trusted. :lol

All the more baffling reason Nurse gave him 30 minutes in Games 6s loser.

Free agent , they will let him walk imo

If the Spurs really aren’t scouting him, then that means either they’re not interested at all, or they’ve made up their minds and he’s the guy. :lol But probably the former.

The problem is that we're all too quick to dismiss or hype these players. FVV was undrafted. Didn't get meaningful minutes until he was 23. Didn't play close to his current level until he was 25. There are just too many variables for us to be certain how someone develops. And I'd take Lowry...

I think the key point is “MVP-level players” or at least Hall-of-Fame caliber. You get a couple of those and you’re cooking, even if one of them is 6’2”. I don’t think Rob Dillingham is that. I actually suspect he is too small — not just short, but small and slight — for his assets to make up...

The two of us are going down as the biggest Topic haters in here. We're in too deep, got to keep downplaying his potential now, too late to take it all back. :lol As I've said many times, if he's not an outside threat, he just can't share the floor with Jeremy or any other non-shooter on...

dale/chunko/dmc same fuckin’ difference

Not saying you can't in a vacuum, but Curry and Kyrie were MVP level players, the first one being the best shooter in history and the second one who had arguably the potential to be one of the best shooting PG in history too, wiht even better handles and penetration skills than Curry. So that...
