Former NBA player and 2011 lottery pick Jimmer Fredette scored 73 points in a Chinese Basketball Association game. That’s the fourth-highest single-game point total in CBA history. His team somehow lost, 135-132, in overtime.

Fredette’s points were scored on an efficient 25-of-49 shooting, including 10-of-18 from three-point range and a perfect 13 makes at the line. He played more than 54 minutes and turned the ball over six times, also registering four rebounds, three assists, and three steals.

This should have been you, Adam Morrison. :(

For a guy who insists on dominating the ball and creating his own offense instead of settling into an NBA role within his ability, going to China to destroy lesser players was the natural outcome. He can finally do what he wants to do, because the level of competition sucks

They should give up literally everything they have, players future picks, everything except Davis to make that move. Boogie, AD and seven pensioners would be a better roster than what they have now.

The best "true rookie" (=<24) ladder is:

    -Brogdon by a mile

    -some foreign permutation of Willy and Juancho Hernangomii, Bertans, Dario Saric, Abrines and Siakam.

    -Dorian Finney Smith, McCaw, and Caris LeVert

    -Yogi Ferrell and Andrew Harrison.

    -Chriss

    -Buddy and Jamal Murray.

    Everyone else.

It's hard to overstate how bad everyone else has been.

Ingram is playing better than most of that list (I didn't compare ALL of them, like I know Embiid and Brogdon are probably playing better) post-January at everything except three throw shooting (which he's currently nosediving in). Buddy's shooting a little bit better.

You can't really say "well sample size" either because Ingram's shooting better than Yogi over the same period of play too and he was on your list.

If SAC doesn't think they can/want to resign Jrue then swap him out for Tyreke Evans expiring $10m and add some second rounders.

That would be a disaster of a trade. Franchise ruiner. If Vlade does a trade with the Pelicans he should be fired immediately.

He has negative win shares, a -4.4 bpm, and a TS% of 45. If he can start digging his way out of those holes by seasons end then he can get on the ladder. Same applies to Dunn.

I mean look at where those numbers were in November, or even December. He's already more than half way crawled out of a giant hole.

Jaylen Brown has better winshare and bpm stats than most of your tier list up there so do some revising or knock some of those names off

I'd rather have Ingram than most of the 2016 draft class, but he's a long-term project. I don't think its clear where he is on the spectrum between Kevin Durant and Jeremy Lamb. Bad Nov and Dec numbers is actually worse than not playing at all because its not clear how much the difference is him learning the game vs inconsistency.


Reminder: If DeMarcus gets traded he no longer qualifies for the Super-Max provision. Vivek could cost Boogie tens of millions of dollars by making a terrible decision.

it's so loving hard to wash off retard in the NBA. Identifying the right people, getting the right people in place, and being willing to spend the money for them is so much of what goes on in an NBA organization and it's never going to be a day and night transition from owner to owner. Sterling and Maloof and co. have crippled their respective franchises and the Clippers are finally looking like they're getting out of it with Ballmer, who was lucky to have a roster full of veterans and a championship winning coach to atleast tell him what a winning organization looks like.

I loving despise Joe Lacob, but he's done a very good job of empowering the right people.

Maybe Sacramento management is starting to realize that they're incompetent and have blown their chance at putting a decent team around Cousins while poisoning the relationship with him, so they might as well move on and try to get a bunch of young guys and draft picks from him (which they'll inevitably also screw up somehow), so this could be looked at as a good move for them!

Or whatever view you need to have about the situation to prevent yourself from throwing yourself off a bridge Whyteryce :ohdear:

I think at least in his case it would've been pretty bad to not have the minutes because he's currently a "practice superstar." Whether it's nerves, the speed of the game, level of competition, whatever, his inability to translate practice to game time is the current obstacle. So I guess just from the way I look at it is the more minutes he plays the more normal the game gets (although he's actually started to play a little less, recently).

As that one Cousins article highlighted, there are a bunch of cooks in the kitchen (not just Vivek being meddling). So for all we know, the Magic were talking to Mark Mastrov about Cousins. Shaq is probably on the phone with New Orleans. The Jacobs brothers are selling Boston on a package of Cousins with some 5G modems

For what it's worth nearly every leak says that Cousins likes playing for the Kings. The front office and maybe even some teammates on the Kings haven't liked him playing with him much in the past but at least the teammates recent leak is he's "turned a corner."
