There are some good "Swing for the fences" guys in this years draft so I wouldn't be so down on their chances of finding a guy who can turn them around, but there's no sure things so its going to be a risk. But yeah, Portland will be bad for a while. They can maybe move Grant and Brogdan if they want, it might be worthwhile to keep them around though.

rivetz posted:Portland fielded their 38th different starting lineup of the season tonight, does anyone know the record for most starting lineups in an 82-game season? I want to say it was 76ers at the end of the Hinkie era but I may be confusing lineup shittiness with roster instability etc. If I recall the Lakers had 40 something Vogel's last year with them, although I imagine most of the lineup records were set that year since that was the year with all the covid replacements. Scoot to me looks like a first year PG looks most of the time to me. You can't ever count out PGs year one. Should be interesting to see how he looks this summer league and if he sets the tone for a good sophmore year. I thought the team looked okay when they had Brogdon, Ayton, Grant and Simons at once[and here's where I stopped writing this post 9 hours ago and forgot to hit "send". Well it looks like it's still relevant I guess, slow thread day] but I'm really not sure it's a style of basketball that can keep up with teams trying for 130 every night.

Mean Baby posted:He was hurt, had terrible teammates, and is 20. Evaluating 20 year olds based on “offensive win shares” is silly. If you look at his game log, he has a lot of standout performances while he was going 1 v 5 with a bad offense. High usage wings either are instantly good or they take 4 years to be good. It's a shame Sharpe lost that year at college and is now playing with a terrible coach. But please show some respect. Checked out Detroit Monty is by far the worst coach in the league. Worse than Jason Kidd even

Kinda want to embed this as a desktop wallpaper somehow https://thehighlow.io/video/player/nba/2023-24/1641705/blk?ordsq=asc&shotFilters=. Honestly watching a bunch of em in succession gets me irrationally worried that Wemby will just quit the NBA out of boredom. Pretty much none of these look particularly hard for him

It took Huerter destroying his shoulder for Mike Brown to finally realize “hey maybe I should be playing Keon more” but at least he got there instead of trying to start Chris Duarte

Scoot has not looked amazing this year by any metric, but of recent All-Star guards Fox and Garland both had absolutely horrible rookie seasons too and they turned out okay. I don't think you can read much into a teenager playing point guard in the NBA.

I have no idea was he wasn't benched in the playoffs last year, but the fact that he has been continuing to start makes no drat sense. The team is so much better with Keon in his place. It's the first time I saw a player get injured on a team I follow and thought "I hope he is OK and I hope this results in a rotation change."

if the celtics win their remaining games by an average of 22 points, they will likely have the highest net rating for a team ever

this rookie class is notable for having a bunch of defenders who managed to be very good right away. just look at this list: Victor Wembanyama Ausar Thompson Anthony Black Toumani Camara Amen Thompson Kris Murray Brandin Podziemski All very positive defenders this season. Big surprise to me on Black and especially Kris Murray, didn't think either of these guys would be that useful on the defensive end. Also Oscar Tshiebwe, Jarace Walker, and GG Jackson haven't played that much but look like good defensive players. Cason Wallace hasn't been super effective this season but it's easy to see his defensive upside.

Question: when a player gets traded mid season, does their new team grill them for the strategies/plays of their old team, or is there an unwritten code that you don't ask or tell that stuff?
