I enjoy all forms of basketball and hope to see you all in the college thread as well because basketball is better when you examine it as a whole.

quote:Wanting to be 'complete player,' Joel Embiid works on leading fastbreak: Toward the end of Sixers practice Monday, Joel Embiid participated in a fast-break drill … by himself. Embiid brought the ball up the floor in a one-on-none situation against members of the Sixers' coaching staff. He's already showed off his three-point shooting skills and now he’s running the break? “I’ve always thought I was a point guard,” Embiid joked. “So that’s something that I want to do.” I'm not sure he's joking

Get hype for the process. http://www.si.com/nba/2016/10/26/joel-embiid-philadelphia-76ers-the-process/?xid=socialflow_twitter_si full quote from earlier: The Process posted:“You know how I learned to shoot?” Embiid says. “I watched white people. Just regular white people. They really put their elbow in and finish up top. You can find videos of them online.”

I don't mean to be snide, it's just that i've always thought his game is so workmanlike that he just kind of fades into the background until somebody like zach lowe points out that he does X unusually well 100m and he can't guard Embiid so there's that.

Because being smart or dumb isn't something you can definitively prove, unlike dunking. So your dumb friends have to make up the difference between themselves and LeBron somewhere. Sure he can dunk and I can't get rim but lol he's so dumb. Unlike me.

Wiggins is leading the NBA in 3 point percentage and just dropped 47 and... I want to dig up that poo poo article at fivethirtyeight that said Wiggins actually secretly sucks and is Antoine Walker according to advanced metrics. fake edit: found it. They eliminated the comments which people kept adding like "lol how ya feel now, moron?" http://fivethirtyeight.com/features...m-with-scorers/

Rick posted:You're doing what you're accusing him of doing. I guess. I'd be really surprised if Ingram surpasses Wiggins at any point. But yeah it's early. Towns is a better player than Wiggins (a lot) and hasn't showed it much this season and that will change. But that's a conversation for future me. I say the future is ours if you can count (three point made shots).

Gynecolojustice posted:Crazy that Kansas had both Wiggins and Embiid, didn't do much with it although Embiid I think was hurt for the tournament They only started to gel in a way that you'd think for about three games before Embiid hurt his back and was basically done for the season. But in that moment I saw the glory. By the way, Wiggins set the Kansas freshman scoring mark (Wilt didn't play his freshman year) and scored in double figures in 29/35 games including 41, 30, 22 and 19 in his last four games before the Stanford debacle. It pisses me off when people say he had a pedestrian college career, freshmen don't do that at KU. The Glumslinger posted:Thats what happens when you have a college coach who refuses to change his system to fit his players. Wiggins was a 3 with a bad handle but you think they should have run the offense through him? So he can develop and the team can lose? kiimo fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Nov 15, 2016 |
