I think the 3 point line should be abolished, this is a completely objective take not at all influenced by my team having Rudy Gobert on it

PG defense doesn't really matter that much, I'd be more concerned that he didn't show super great playmaking instincts and the injury. Garland is a really really good ball handler and shooter though, I think he's like right on the border of the top 5 in this class.

Rick posted:I usually make it my policy to not know anything about HS players but I read the Athletic articles so this is going to be a rare year where all these dudes aren't a new thing when the college season starts. I don't know if that's productive or not. For one and done guys I think it's helpful to have at least some sense of where they stand coming out of high school just because one season is still a pretty small sample. It can give you some sense of how real what you saw in college was. I remember Bradley Beal had a rep entering college as like an otherworldly shooter, but then had a pretty crappy year from three in his one college season. That high school rep gave some indication that the college season might have just been crappy luck, which wound up being true. Pelton started including AAU stats in his projection system last year and said it improved it a lot. Most notably it showed Mitchell Robinson was an incredible shotblocker.

Pat Bev makes a lot of sense in theory because he can shoot, plays D, and would be fine standing in a corner while LeBron dominates the ball, but they could really use another reliable shot creator. I guess Ingram could kinda be that but he's not really at the level they need him to be yet and ideally it'd be someone who also can space the floor.

Lockback posted:I'm not sure why you'd can Luke Walton for Ty Lue, but if you were losing your locker room w/e. I don't think Ty Lue hurts a veteran team and in general players seemed to listen to him enough (despite tortilla soup throwing incidents). His last locker room was toxic enough that his best player spent a solid month pouting until half of the team was finally traded, and his second best player demanded a trade going into the season, so are we sure this is true?

Rick posted:Steve Kerr and Greg Popvich are bad coaches too by this standard. There are like two examples of this in however many years Pop has been coaching, and that's only if you really want to blame him for Stephen Jackson being crazy. Kerr has definitely had drama but not really anything that caused the team to totally fall apart the way the Cavs did for a big chunk of the regular season. Anyway I don't think Lue is like an outright terrible coach or anything I just don't see what the evidence for him having a great handle on the locker room is.

Lockback posted:Thibs had some trouble getting guys in MN to play D..... Are we sure his defensive schemes are actually good? It's hard to separate that from personnel but I think it could also be a case of his defense being so influential that teams have figured out ways to successfully counter it. Regardless i think it's pretty unlikely that any coach is going to get LeBron to try all that hard on defense in the regular season (which to be clear I think is probably a reasonable approach for him given his career minutes). Lue couldn't do it in Cleveland so I don't know why he'd suddenly be able to now. MourningView fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 8, 2019 |

R.D. Mangles posted:I'm very confused by the Belein hire. He's got a pretty good case for being the best coach in college basketball and is very good at player development, especially point guards, which is big for Cleveland. Maybe his offense won't translate (it's kinda slow and overly structured for the NBA, but then again so is Snyder's and that's been fine, and Belein at least tries to get the right kind of shots), but even that has gotten a lot closer to an NBA style offense the last few years then it was earlier in his career. The big downside is probably that he's really old, but that's probably also the only reason he'd consider leaving a great college job to take on a project like the Cavs. MourningView fucked around with this message at 17:50 on May 13, 2019 |

If they stick Zion with RJ again the team deserves to be contracted. The Lakers players may not be stars but they're at least real NBA rotation players. That's a lot more than you can say for any of the young Knicks guys except Robinson. I don't see how the difference between 3 and 4 in a draft that gets muddled after 2 and a couple Dallas picks that have a decent chance of winding up in the teens make up the difference there.

Rick posted:Even before he got rid of Jim and Mitch when he was hired the first thing he did was do an interview where he talked about how he spoke to Ingram and asked him to focus on attacking the rim, and over the years he reinforced that he liked Ingram attacking the basket. It's funny because his teammates talk about Ingram being this great practice shooter but in game if he misses one three he stops taking them. A big part of his appeal as a prospect was that he was a tall guy who could shoot threes too. He got a lot better at the other stuff than I would have expected him too but it's bizzare that he doesn't even want to attempt more.

Feel like that kinda clogs the paint too much to really be ideal, at least until Zion's jumper gets a little more reliable. Also can't imagine them wanting anything to do with Gordon given the history there.

Rick posted:I feel like Capella does a pretty decent job of rotating out of the way of Harden's drives. I thought about the Gordon part and just figured he'd be a relatively easy flip or might even take a buyout . . . but also that's why I put two draft picks instead of one.. He just kinda hangs out in the dunker spot waiting for a lob if they overcommit to the Harden drive, and it's hard for anyone to help out because the spacing around it is so good. Don't think that works nearly as well with NO's roster. It makes sense defensively though.
