Rockets will not invalidate Motiejunas's offer sheet. And now we wait for BJ Armstrong's 3-dimensional chess response.

WhyteRyce posted:Wonder what a Dunn/Hield backcourt would look like I mean, I am critical of Dunn when asked and have problems with his efficiency but Dunn is MUCH better than Hield right now. By PER, WS, RPM, eye Test, TS%... Hield is one of the worst players in the NBA getting minutes right now.

Sabonis is the only rookie really playing above his expectations off the top of my head. Which I'm not shocked about since I saw him play a few times last year and was surprised he was projected late first round in a lot of mocks. Maybe you could make an argument for Marquis Chris since like half the analysts thought he would be the worst player ever, although he's not the NBA ready stud that the other half of projectors thought he was. Maybe Ingram slightly ahead based on already having some defensive utility as a rookie but his offense is behind at least what optimistic people thought (although ahead of where I pegged it since I was convinced his handles would sink his ability to create his own shot in the NBA, but he seems to have worked on that quite a bit). Fast Luck posted:Not a hard and fast rule though (Kemba Walker, Damian Lillard, Draymond Green... Steph Curry? yeah Steph Curry) It seems the smaller the school the safer it is to go upperclassmen.

Dorian Finney-Smith is playing above his expectations. The Mavs aren't good but he barely made the team, wasn't drafted, and has become a starter. He can't really shoot yet but has a knack for being in the correct place on the floor. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Dec 8, 2016 |

From the Rockets: Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris. Sam "Triple" Dekker looks good. Jones is bad but also looked okay before a spate of injuries. From watching Morey draft, upperclassmen seem like good value in the mid-to-late draft when you go for guys who are clearly NBA-level talented at one or two things. But don't draft athletic dudes who haven't figured out how to do poo poo in three or four years (as a corollary, if you're an athletic goofball, declare as soon as you can get guaranteed money). chunkles fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Dec 8, 2016 |

The reason I wasn't sure what to do with him is that he was picked #2 overall which seems too high. But looking at it now 2013 was the Giannis, Gobert, and trash draft so I guess it's ok. Also the Plumlees werent' bad picks necessarily but remain Plumlees.

Oladipo was considered the #1 draft choice, that's why there's that Bill Simmons clip of him going https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WH0ysZmK50

Vucevic should be in the Also category, if not the don't look at this one. He is an offense only center that is below average on offense. He only has decent counting stats because he gets an inexplicably high number of minutes either because Orlando is showcasing him for a midseason trade, or Vogel is dumber than we thought.

Sheriff posted:drat, it's crazy how many teams' futures were impacted by CP3's decision to leave New Orleans. The Lakers, the Clippers, the Pelicans themselves, the Rockets, the Raptors, and now apparently the Warriors too. Plus like a dozen other teams, but those are the ones who could be in very different places right now. Stern saved the Pelicans from themselves. I still don't get why this was such a huge issue. The team was owned by the league who is run by the commissioner. Why wouldn't he have final say on the moves?

The trade that ended up happening was only bad because Eric Gordon was made of paper. It did allow them to be bad enough to get Davis too. Looking at that 2012 draft and realized how bad the Kings hosed up. Could have had Lillard, Drummond, or Barnes. Also hosed up bad in 2013 too. Get Cousins out of Sacramento.

The reason why they drafted Thomas Robinson was the dumbest thing. Apparently the gm was worried they couldn't keep loving jason thompson, so he drafted based on a potential gap at PF then they re-signed Jason Thompson anyway
