You don't. I was talking more long-term. 'The core' likely won't be much better next year realistically - no matter what they do in the draft and won't be for at least two more draft/free-agent cycles when you can get those guys off the roster or at least into heavily-diminished roles within the...
Maybe it’s because draft pundits have never earned the reputation they carry for anyone to believe the prospects should be drafted according to the order they laid out… since time and time again they get it wrong. I will never understand people’s rigid thinking when it comes to teams having to...
as bad as the spurs defense was last year, in the aggregate they were fine as long as wemby was on the floor. its the offense that was bad with or without him... a significant amount of which is attributable to poor outside shooting (in addition to being turnover prone).
if you really wanted to...
Was digging the point where one of Sheppard, Castle, Risacher or Sarr will be available at 4, then you said you could see the Spurs taking Salaun, Williams, Holland or Buzelis even with one of those guys on the board...and I threw up in my mouth a little.
I think even his floor is higher than Bones Hyland, in terms of style it could be, but looks to me like a much more explosive scorer and his playmaking is more advanced. Also, Bones problem has a lot to do with his head. Dillingham isn't guaranteed to be better than Lou Williams (I think he will...
Suns probably have a couple of specific targets like Kolek or maybe one of the centers... and if theyre unavailable they will gladly trade out for future picks
yeah, i agree that players dont really "rise" and "fall" all that much (happens to some extent, but not dramatically), but rather the media comes in with their pre-conceived notions and over time adjust their mocks to reflect actual intel, which creates an illusion of players rising/falling when...
Been thinking more about the reports that both NO and PHX would like to move out of their FRP for SRPs.
If the Spurs don't want a 3rd FRP this year, might they still be able to play facilitator role with their abundance of SRPs?
The Mavs, for example, are a team without an FRP this year but...
I don't know wtf people are loling about here, Copa has been great so far, tbh.
Great atmosphere, great games, beautiful women on the stands, 70 and 80k packed stadiums, actually distinguishable styles of plays and uniforms. :lol
You either die a hero or you live long enough to be a villain is what happened to Givony. But the gullible people here will eat up anything he shits out so…
Yeah I think anyone discounting defense from the argument needs to go back and watch every defensive possession in the second-half of the Knicks home win on repeat.
Brunson scored 38 points in the half mostly from just walking past Tre Jones who offered as much resistance on the perimeter as...
I still like Carter. Sure, theres risk and all of what OP said is true, but theres something for a turbo charged defender that just sits right with me especially because his shot goes in decently if he gets it off.
This is sort of why I mocked so many “rookie wave” scenarios. I know it’s supposed to be a crappy draft but if we are to believe SA is higher on this than most, why couldn’t SA walk away with 3 guys in the first round of this draft if someone they really like falls and its cheaper than usual to...
It's hard to me to believe any player has risen or fallen all that much. If guys like Dilly and Holland are now thought of as late-lotto picks, they were likely always thought of that way by teams. If teams liked those players, they probably aren't freaking out about them not blowing up the combine...
