The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Again… it’s only OL/DL or TEs….

We haven’t seen hoopers transition into any other positions professionally. It’s always linemen and TEs.

I know Jalen Suggs was all state in football, Gary Harris was a good player too.

But when those NFL scouts go to scout college hoopers, it’s always dudes who play in the trenches or TE

Not skill positions like QB/WR/DB/RB
TE IS A SKILL POSITION

Football guys are always like…

“Being tough is a skill”

Word? Then why you crying about this?
 
What will never happen, no matter how athletic of a football player you are…

Play basketball for a few months and make it to the league. You couldn’t even make it to college. Man, you couldn’t even make to a high school varsity team.

This is an actual skill sport.

This isn’t just learning how to sumo wrestle for a few seconds, run a route, and catch a ball in the Summer.
 
^throw in the fact that the route to the nba is much harder. fewer roster spots and you pretty much have to hit the genetic lottery in terms of height. you can't teach "height"
 
All I know is one year we had the best varsity football team in Queens and the best varsity basketball team in Queens.

About 50 dudes from the football team tried out for the basketball team and not one made it.
A lot of times what I would see is the Football coach poaching the basketball players vs the opposite. They'd put them in like a DL position until they learned the game and flourished.
 
These two posts which were b2b is fitting for this topic
Moss wouldn’t have made the NBA, not saying that. It’s crazy how some guys win their state’s POY in a different sport than the one they went pro in.

Joe Mauer was a QB in HS, and won Gatorade National Player of the Year for football. Had a full ride to Florida St to play for Bobby Bowden but chose baseball which was obviously smart.
 
So did the Mavs goof by letting porzingis and brunson go or did they actually finally get help

Hmm
They didn’t goof for sure

KP didn’t fit. Gafford and Lively are better fits as bigs next to Luka

Mavs would’ve never gotten Kyrie had they kept Brunson

Washington is a better fit as a 2-way wing than DFS because PJ is more aggressive offensively, a better scorer and imo is a much better rebounder and much better defender averaging a block and a steal a game for his career

So yes, DAL finally got Luka better all around help because DAL is deeper and more balanced as Platinum State Platinum State mentioned
