It's some kind of tracking device that's popular for using when coming back from an injury. I remember seeing Chet Holmgren wearing one working out after his injury and thinking WTF at first.

In some other sports players always have them on, even during games. It tracks everything performance related.
Damn you could get beat up wearing those growing up
Right, and it's supposed to some benefit of when a player's body is being overworked. It's been en vogue with the NBA for some time now, but they still haven't allowed it to be used during games.
Which is kind of stupid with the level of stress they put on their bodies - especially lower body extremities - on a nightly basis.
"rare" injury is probably the last thing i wanted to hear
^ we have a top 3 center in the NBA and might still have the weakest frontline in the NBA
We just need a guy that can soak up 13 - 15 minutes a night, not some world beater at backup center.
Plus, Barnes, Champagnie and Johnson can easily slide down to PF if the need arises.
I do hope that Bassey can stay healthy and unseat Collins at some point, though.
I think that horse is dead. The kid has lost already a lot of weight to play a more faster game
Without Wemby this team desperately needs height and shooters I am hoping we can get one of each in the next draft
You're going to get a combo guy that doesn't do anything particularly well at an NBA level and like it tbh.

its why it was pretty wild to me they took Nunez in the 2nd round when they could have taken a flier on Furphy, where thats literally his profile
It's going to be hard to get the right size other than Wemby, since that player basically can't start. This was the same problem OKC had before they got Hartenstein.

Draft picks are used to choose prospects, raw material likely to tick as many boxes as possible in modern basketball. One-dimensional basketball no longer exists. No one can predict the career success of a shooter at 19 years old. This doesn't make any sense.
If you want a shooter, he will rarely be applied to this sole task, and above all, it is in your best interest to take a veteran because with several years under his belt, you know his value and the % provided.
The draft doesn't give you accomplished player types, it gives you lottery tickets that will take shape three, four or five years later.
You choose a “shooter” in the draft who also has average qualities, will you be satisfied from what three-point percentage?
If you want a one-dimensional player, veteran shooters, there are plenty of them. You don't use lottery picks for one-dimensional players. The % comes with time and training (or never comes, and you're going to play in China).
Cooper is 6’9” and not a shooter.Cooper Flag
You only need one skill above average to get your entry ticket to the professional world nowadays. Same in football in europe unfortunately
Some clubs/organisations do take the necessary 3-4 years to develop players but most don't and that's how today's level of the NBA basketball or european football has reached its lowest in decades.
Less veterans (higher BBIQ), more 1 and done (not ready), more turnover/ less stable rosters, players not ready yet getting the jackpot bc of the CBA (less insentive to finish their developments) etc
It's a vicious circle we're won't get out soon.
Weird to hear pop constantly talk about how Keldon doesn't have a defined role on the team yet. Sounds like they plan to get rid of him sooner rather than later, which I don't have a problem with.
Funny but it looked like Castle was playing 3 tonight, scoring 17 and dishing 4 assists. But I think he stops playing SF since you said “Castle will barely play the 3.”
You know what you meant when you said he’ll play SF— you think he’ll do that for his career. He’s not DeMar, where he’s playing at this season isn’t his career position. We’re playing like 10 point guards and he’s too good to not play. Bump this thread again when Tre and Paul are gone.Funny but it looked like Castle was playing 3 tonight, scoring 17 and dishing 4 assists.

Pop played him with Blake and Malaki, and then later on with Paul and Champ. Bruh, the kid can play 3 and Pop knows it that’s why he’s trying his combinations. It’s a shame to sit our top 4 pick. It’s one game, but if tonight is any indication of his game, he has a good chance at ROTY. And what’s wrong with playing Castle like Demar combo guard? The guy can score and facilitate. He could be a Harden for all I care. He’ll bully his way to the FT line every time.
