I had a dream I met Shaun Livingston. I told him I remembered him from high school Slam magazine. He wasn't that tall though so I have to assume in my dreams I'm actually 6'6
Steph was also there but I decided to ignore him.

Yet another? Giannis was basically the inspirational point for that trend, as far as I can tell. Giannis's success from being a raw athletic toolsy player is exactly why there's so many GM's swinging and missing on nobodies with long arms. Everyone wants to find a Giannis.

I mean people have been drafting 'potential' picks for for decades, but I anecdotally feel like it's exploded since Giannis came into the league.

Not really. Teams using 1sts on raw athletic high schoolers was one of the big reasons for the rule change. Darius Miles, Travis Outlaw, Gerald Green, etc.

Just so long as he doesn't drift too hard. He could overdrift and end up on the Raptors.

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!



So are they building around rookies like Kuzma and Ball? Lopez seems not bad but not great and he's been playing since 2008 so if he was going to get better he would have by now right? Is SG just a giant gaping hole in the roster?

I guess as a Raptors fan I'm just a little bitter about the Bruno pick and have that skewing my thoughts.

And Brandon Ingram. Lopez is likely just a stop-gap. SG is not really important in today's NBA, and they have lots of guys who can play wing. Lakers are a few years away from really competing, so there's no reason to try to plug holes, they are still trying to amass talent.

Bledsoe would be a great pickup for them, tho I don't know what the Bucks have to offer or what Bledsoe is worth.

Rolo,Tyson Chandler, and Bledsoe all deserve to find their way into playoff teams this year

Teams that are good and would be undefeated if they hadn't lost their second best player in the opening game: Nets

Teams that suck and lose more than half of their games: Golden Statewarriors

I'm sure the Cavs will be happy to send Derrick Rose to the Suns. He's still a point guard. I think.

I think the only asset the Bucks would give up is a first rounder, and then would include one of their lovely veteran contracts ie Delly, Mirza, Henson but those contracts have too many years at the moment. Don't think the Bucks would give up Brogdon or Maker, their only young good assets.

You could be right about the player's coach part but most of the buzz has been about how bad he fuckin sucks at coaching for about the last 6 months. The last 3 games just resulted in a fever pitch

AggressivelyStupid posted:

Do you watch Suns games? They give absolutely no effort and have no direction or scheme on the defensive end. That's largely on the coach
