I just flipped the game on and got McDermott and Bonefoot confused, but I knew it was Zipser when I saw him grab a contested rebound.

Embiid is actually funny, as opposed to Dwight Howard, who desperately wants you to think he's funny.

It's hard to hate on Embiid when he clearly worked his rear end off and turned into an actual good player.

I mean, it must be really loving hard to be unable to physically practice for like years and still look good as a rookie.

It's going to be like the 26th pick, notable for probably being less valuable than an early second round pick.

From the latest Lowe thing:

quote:

In his last 20 games, McCollum is averaging almost 26 points on a 50.5/41/89.9 shooting line. He has hit 46 percent of his pull-up jumpers, best in the league among guys who have fired at least five of those suckers -- the toughest shots in the game -- per night. Since the league started tracking pull-ups in 2013, only three players have exceeded that mark on five-plus attempts per game: Paul and Durant in 2014-15 (at 47.7 and 48 percent, respectively) and Nowitzki (46.8 percent) the year before.

In the NBA, there are threats, and there are weapons. A threat keeps a defense on its toes. They worry about it, but they don't change their whole scheme to account for it. They warp everything for a weapon. Nikola Vucevic's midrange shot is a threat. Nowitzki's is a weapon.

McCollum has weaponized an allegedly inefficient shot. He needs almost no space to stop on a dime, snap into that straight up-and-down balance, and rain fire. Keeping up with McCollum around a pick -- being almost on his hip -- isn't good enough unless you can reach around him, Kawhi Leonard-style, and contest his shot from behind.

Howard was always annoying. Embiid's actually cool and his only crime is making people think Sam Hinkie was good for some reason

CJ is a lot of fun to watch. Tho I do feel like he could be a lot better if he Morey-balled his game. He could take a lot more 3s and get to the rim more.

I don't think CJ McCollum shooting 46% on pull-up 2pt jumpers is causing defenses to radically change their gameplan
if anything, over-committing to him would allow for layups or 3s. better that he shoot the 2pt jumper running off screens.

never forget (change post up to mid-range jumper and adjust the ppp up, same concept)
