Spurs notes. Get a competent backup for Wemby. Joker looked gassed.

So Denver has no backup for Joker, or rather didn't play him? Ya Murray and Joker certainly seemed to do enough. Porter, KCP really shit the bed shooting.

I guess we'll keep going over this repeatedly, but measurements don't play basketball.

It would be surprising to see Dillingham go that high because his measurable were not good. 165lbs soaking wet does not bode well for enduring the grind of an NBA season and jump in physicality.

Sheppard seems like a more Spurs-type player than Dillingham. Is the knock that he's not a proven on-ball facilitator?

Sign me up for VJ Edgecombe. Elite combo guard that hustles and plays both ways. Reminds me of pre-injury Oladipo. Will see how he does at Baylor this year, but they typically feature guards on the offense. I expect he'll be more impactful than either George or Walter before him, especially...

I'm not surprised if that's true about Dillingham. I think he's going to shred workouts. I wouldn't even be surprised if the supposed Wright grimace during the lottery was due to fear Washington or the Rockets take him first. Dillingham on the Rockets would be a horror show for us.

Yeah, I think if Risacher is present at 4, there's no way the Spurs can pass, if as much to please Wemby as anything (if he's genuine about liking him). He's probably going to be fine, but we're not talking a whole lot of upside here. If he can actually defend, that changes things, but his metrics...

Some of my thoughts on Williams are still impacted by my annoyance at the whole "He's gonna be a GOD because he has a BROTHER" narrative. To be much more fair to him, I think he's late lottery in a normal draft and that's not bad for this one. He moves smoothly, knows what to do on the court. If...

dallas had a size advantage over OKC and dominated them on the offensive glass. wont have that luxury against minnesota. they'll have to adjust, but Luka seems defense-proof, generally. we'll see

copy pasta?

5 rings is an impossible as for any al-time great. There's only been 5 all-time players to do it since the merger. Kareem, Magic, Jordan, Kobe, and Tim. That's the list. So no Jokic will not catch him in titles. However, I believe that he will be considered the greatest offensive bigman to ever...

IDK, part of me agrees but if Brunson and the Knicks had Wemby, they're still playing.

Can the Spurs bide time and pick up a rotation piece for a year by acquiring Bruce Brown from the Raptors for a couple future second round picks? Not the sexy trade for a full-time PG, but is a nice veteran on an expiring that could be moved at the deadline if needed

Fuck the Mavs

It would be nice if these last 3 series are watchable but I’m not holding my breath.

Allowing immigration in France means multicultural wealth. (All these players are models not only of integration but also of the vivacity of the French multi-ethnic model despite the far-right outbursts and the constant harassment that certain racialized populations receive from institutions....

The difference in depth between these teams is astonishing, and shows just how much Jokic carries his team. Outside of Nikola, there are three guys with a positive BPM, and one is Porter Jr, who's BPM is +0.1, so he's really more of a net neutral player. Minnesota has 8 players (!) with positive...

Dame Lillard...

Cody Williams' stock is mostly based on potential rather than actual production, every time I watched him play I came away really underwhelmed. However, given how flat this draft is, the value of wings and shooting in the modern game, the question marks of his competition and the needs of teams...

If you ignore Keldon, who could immediately start for them and be a fitting piece around Brandon Melo and Mark, sure. Maybe you're right and Keldon at 24 yrs old isn't worth moving down two spots in this draft and moving the protections from 14 to 8 in for next years draft pick.

It's tough to judge Williams post-injuries. He wasn't the same player and the team dynamic changed while he was out. I think it was a tough spot for a young player, but I respect that he tried to fit in when he returned, arguably to the detriment of his draft stock . As I look at the top-ish of...

You want us to move up, and for Charlotte to pay US to move down? That’s an interesting, if unrealistic take.

So you don't believe it and then use the graph to blame China and India?

It was his last playoff game, btw. His team lost against ASVEL. Next step for him: French National Team (some would like to see him taking one of the 12 places for the Olympics instead of some NBA cut point guards^^).

Ugh Saturday and Sunday forecast to be the first 100 degree days a month earlier than normal

Dallas made Rudy Gobert a non-factor in the playoffs 2 years ago and typically has a good game plan against centers. I like their chances to make Edwards work for every inch, but they might also take their lumps from him and try to keep the supporting cast at bay. Naz Reid always gives Dallas...
