poole-heads… get in here!!!!!

It’s been glorious. Never loss faith in the Poole Party. Second year in a row i took him in my auction draft, couldn’t help myself. Kid is really putting it together, game seems to have slowed down for him. No more dribbling wildly into dumb *** shots

As long as Jalen Green is there that team's upside is limited.

He‘ll get better

I consider it the spiritual sequel to Bill Simmons' "Book of Basketball", which he'll never write. It will be interesting to compare the rankings, especially with 15 years between publications, and the entire 2010s era in the rear view mirror. Simmons does continue to curate his Top 75, mainly the Top 20 - 40. He definitely has Steph as Top 10 now,, and Durant around #15. He put Harden at #35 in the dedicated Harden podcast a few years ago. He also rates Dwight a lot higher than most people do, and thinks he's underrated at this point.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this book (all 752 pages of it!), the rankings and the thought process and analysis. Aldridge and other Athletic writers aren't neccessarily numbers guys like Holinger, so I'm looking forward to the "eye test" part of the rankings. Example: I remember Simmons saying about Iverson that you circled his games on your season ticket calendar every year because you knew you were getting a show every time he walked onto the court. You could count on certain players to deliver every night, and you'd get your money's worth.

Draymond anchoring an elite defense as a 34 year old undersized PF is crazy.

he's an obnoxious guy, but no one should doubt his greatness.

Suns should’ve just kept DominAyton.

They had to hate yo behind the scenes cuz the swap for Nurkic was never moving the needle

Garland needs to be in that second tier. Been playing out of his mind. Shooting the blood out of the ball.

22ppg on 53-45 splits is crazy, even if we’re only 15 games in. He looks great
