The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[ALNotSure]

2 day draft is ridiculous. They got to stop stretching every single thing out.

If Bronny gets drafted to a legit team and they win the chip next year...

Is it acceptable for Bron to claim ring 5 as his name sake??

Yes, absolutely, and he should use it in his GOAT conversation.

 

[Moheezy]

Anthony Edwards and Rob Dillingham backcourt looks good on paper.

Listening to his interview last night, he gives me Jeff Teague vibes with the way he speaks

This two day draft is hella dumb. This aint the NFL, most of these guys are gonna be playing overseas/G league. Yes there are few exceptions, but to have a whole day dedicated to the 2nd round of the NBA is just silly.

Nuggies might be cooked.

Morey, PLEASE, do something, anything, just TRY

2 day drafts make sense aside from the green room. Exhibit 10 and 2 way contracts get dealt here. You find your Austin Reaves’ and herb jones’ here.

Might find the next Jokic today. This is where it gets really fun

 

[JMB10215]

Man there has been 1 Jokic in the last 40 years lol. But that’s definitely how they will sell it

Who are we picking for early ROY favorites? Castle? Cocaine Curry? French Caitlin Clark?

You can definitely get rotation guys.

Brunson, Mitchell Robinson, Vando, Bruce Brown, Melton
Claxton, Gafford, Terance Mann
Xavier Tillman
Herb jones, Miles McBride
Nembhard
GG Jackson, TJD

And that’s just the last few years. There’s a handful of guys who can play every year. Brogdon, Zu, Dillon brooks, Norm Powell, Clarkson, Dray, Middleton, etc

Sarr’s agent steered him to Washington because he expected more usage there.

So it has to be him since ROY is usually just a ppg competition, efficiency be damned.

Castle or Matas

Bridges will be fine. Luckily he didn't get sent to a tyrant like Billy Donovan.

 

[getback]

Hauser insurance

Kid's shot resembles Harden's a little.

 

[pums]

Personally Riscaher is like the 5th best prospect for me.

1. Sarr
2. Shepp
3. Castle
4. Clingan

Pretty crazy for him to be the first pick

Bridges will be fine. Luckily he didn't get sent to a tyrant like Billy Donovan.

I remember people were quoting Tim Duncan’s per 36 to try to show he actually hadn’t lost a step after he started playing less mins in his early 30s.

KD playing 37 minutes is insane Bron right behind him at 35

Idk the big man rotation in Memphis, but Edey will have every chance to show out

Im not gonna hold you, I definitely understand that the 2nd round is important to teams. But from a viewership standpoint its a hard sell. Well not this season because of Bronny but just in general.

DILLINGHAM

The older you get the better you are at not wasting movements . You know how to conserve energy and when to take possessions off while still being in the court and still controlling the tempo.
