Rick posted:Pau fit in great in D'Antoni's offense. See: the following season. D'antoni was just too stubborn to try and adapt until he had no choice. What do you mean? 12-13 and 13-14 are the worst years of his career, and 13-14 was arguably worse cause he was putting up more shots at a lower efficiency. Then he left for Chicago and was immediately back to his old efficiency, though much diminished on D. By the end of 13-14 a lot of people thought he was cooked.

Is wingspan really the whole story because the two most recent super-wingspany surprises, Kawhi and Giannis, also couldn't shoot when drafted. Unless having a higher release point to clear your defender is enough to make you a pro shooter.

Should we give Jason Kidd credit for developing Giannis and Jabari? Those two as a duo seem super unlikely. A 6'11+ point guard dishing and swishing while playing defense in all five positions paired with a 6'10 SF that plays a tough driving offense and hits 3's at a decent clip. Once Middleton comes back that spacing is going to be even more nuts.

chunkles posted:Oh hey finally some real trade rumormongering On the one hand it seems crazy for the Hawks to trade a player as important to them as Millsap, on the other hand if he walks anyway for nothing next year they're hosed for like five years. DeimosRising posted:What do you mean? 12-13 and 13-14 are the worst years of his career, and 13-14 was arguably worse cause he was putting up more shots at a lower efficiency. Then he left for Chicago and was immediately back to his old efficiency, though much diminished on D. By the end of 13-14 a lot of people thought he was cooked. Firstly, his numbers were down because he played hurt for months, and if you check his post mid December numbers they improve significantly. But beyond that, his efficiency was down in 13-14 because he was getting double teamed constantly and had to take on at least a part of the responsibility to take bad shots at the end of the clock. However he was very good at moving the ball out of this situation and is one of the prime reasons the Lakers offense functioned that year.

Once Middleton comes back that spacing is going to be even more nuts. Well, he did run the same offense as Byron Scott the previous two seasons so him being the new "bad at coaching basketball games but good at helping young players learn to play" guy is probably appropriate. I dunno, Jabari was pretty NBA ready out the gate and it seems like if he wasn't producing right away it was him trying to get used to not having the same explosiveness/recovering the explosiveness he had in college. I have no caveats for Giannis though. Rick fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Just because top players slip in the draft some years doesn't mean they slip every year. Part of the advantage of having a top pick is controlling your destiny, you can take the guy you want instead of relying on a series of dumb teams like Sacramento passing on your guy. If you have the advantage of hindsight, then yeah load up on a quantity of picks. Otherwise, look at that expected value curve and tell Danny Ainge to gently caress off with his 4 for 1 offers

I get making financial decisions teams do it all the time, it's trash that a top market team does it but that's just how poo poo is. But if you are gonna do poo poo like that you have to be able to Draft well to surround your lucky lottery wins and draft picks.

I haven't anything like that. It does say he's going to opt out of next year for sure which is what spurred the Hawks to do it, and says they were really burned by Horford leaving. However, he's also 31 and might just want to get on what might be his last long, big contract. Basically there are a lot of non-Dwight reasons this might happen But the part of me that watched 82*3 games of Dwight says yeah he just wants out.
