The white guy with the funny name from last year's NCAA Championship game was on the Spurs training camp roster but didn't make the team.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Is Jeff Withey the Voltron of all the tiny white guys Embiid trained against? He's defeated them individually. Now he's defeated their combined strength.

One day I watched a shitton of Pistol Pete footage.

There's grainy rear end footage of Pistol Pete doing it in college.
There's footage of him doing just about every cool fake and/or dribble move you can think of.

It was time well spent, I have to say.

EDIT: there's a great Curry lowlight video that's got Biedrins_cigarette.jpg spliced in all over the place.

“I’d take (Cousins), but you’d need a dominant personality to control him," one Western Conference executive said. "I’ve been in that locker room. He’s a problem. They’d love to trade him, but can’t. So they act like they won’t. They would, though — tomorrow.”

Geee, I wonder what Western Conference executive who has been in the Kings locker room could that be?!?!

Curry is bad
Draymond is bad
Thompson is bad
Durant is bad

Literally the only warrior that hasn't been called bad is Ian Clark because no one knows who he is

edit: Here's an argument, how about replacing either an elite 3+D guy and a stretch 4/5 elite defender that passes like a point guard are both very hard to replace

Really all 400+ players aren't that great. I'm confident there will be some 7.5 foot tall guy with LBJs skills, Durant's FT shooting and Curry's 3P shooting within the next fifty years.

If GSW are suffering greatly from not having Bogut/Ezeli doesn't that suggest praise for Draymond's versatility to play the 5 (and thus his value as a player generally) is overstated? Draymond at center with Zaza as primary backup shouldn't be such a weakness if Draymond is so good.

Greens versatility allowed them to play small for extended periods. I don't think anyone claimed he was an elite rim protector.

Draymond full time at center for 82 games is a bad thing to do for so many reasons. The same reason why Anthony davis and lebron don't start at 1 position lower despite by far their best position.
