2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[pmatic]

Kuz's rookie year was outlier three point shooting and lost his touch around the rim/floaters since then. But he did improve his defense.

Playoff P gets clowned a lot on here but somehow a 33 year old Russell Westbrook is now Mr. April-June.

 

[maxelite]

He didn’t regress Lebron came

Was his ceiling anything more than a slightly above average starter?

Can't slander Ben and PG for chucking up bricks in the 'offs then give Russ a pass

which year did he win MVP?

Kuz looked really good on a bad young team and a mid pack on a title team. He’s going to be productive wherever he lands. THEY were just wilding saying he was as good as Tatum

 

[MVP]

Kuz the same player. That’s his whole issue.

Nah his basketball IQ has gotten worse and offensive bag has gotten smaller since his rookie year.

Ben is different that PG and Russ. He’s smart enough to know you can’t put up bricks if you don’t shoot

 

[darthska]

Actually they hit the same amount of 3s

Season or Finals? You pointed out a season stat.

Hornets I guess

I think a lot came from him being an older rookie so everyone thought his ceiling was higher than it really was. Same thing happened with Clarkson.

Not to mention the late first round pick + Laker inflation.

the twitter and internet reactions on draft day > the draft itself

Suns should've jumped on Plumlee for Dario and a pick.

Edit:

Wait, Charlotte got Plumlee AND the better pick?

The Bucks hit 1038 3s in the regular season
98 more than the Suns on a better shooting percentage

 

[shuges]

Wow, left at pg 85 and come back to 100.

Good luck to the dudes in the 70s trying to catch up.

ESPN really trying to cut into that Olympic coverage huh? They got 2 channels showing the draft tonight plus every damn personality available it seems.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I love how Russ went from a bum to a superstar because of a jersey change

 

[sooperhooper]

Cp is a better fit than Westbrook imo but i don't like the Lakers so i hope they make all the wrong picks

In what way? His shooting just regressed to the mean. IQ is hard to measure. I think he just struggled playing next to Bron and obviously wanted a bigger role. He’s just not that good period. A lot of limitations for a stiff hipped guy without great handles or great shooting and can’t be a reliably defender on the perimeter or at the rim.

Bro every time that happens to me, I'm like "OK, what the hell happened?"

Cant believe the Wizards FO are ok with keeping Beal only to miss out on a Chet or the French kid.

I was surprised too It's a reminder that the scoring of a team's best player tends to incorrectly skew opinion on how the team actually scores as a whole

i have to assume its Ted Leonsis
