I’m listing facts my friend.
Heard some pretty bad stat for Ausar that I'm having hard time believing. He shot 36% on half-court possessions last year. Eek...
My strategy with the twins is to not pay attention to any of their stats, both the good and the bad. Watch some OTE games you will understand why.
Facts? How is it facts that Klintman didn't have good feedback so he went to Australia? The feedback might have been we like to in the 20s here but next year you could be top 10.
How does someone who is willing to be fluid with their draft opinions make them not believe what they are saying? You are so full of **** so many times and you constantly just make **** up or purposely leave out any context. Truly becoming one of the worst posters to engage with.

Sounds like he's due! But this really has nothing to do with draft stuff. I was one of the first to realize Cy was wrong about some stuff going into last season, see below.
Still think he knows what he's talking about, and does the work. I weigh his opinion pretty heavily on this stuff.
You must be mistaken. It is against the rules to play half court in OTEHeard some pretty bad stat for Ausar that I'm having hard time believing. He shot 36% on half-court possessions last year. Eek...
only transition all game long.
Most of the OTE teams have 7'ers. It was a fastbreaks league, but in the half court they are playing with the NBA line and a 24 second clock, so them struggling in the half court makes sense imoHeard some pretty bad stat for Ausar that I'm having hard time believing. He shot 36% on half-court possessions last year. Eek...

a friend of mine was asking me about bilal yesterday just in general and why he's so high - he didn't know anything about him, but had seen his name being thrown out there. it was kinda hard to explain why he's so high on some mocks.
i was like, well, he's really long and athletic. teams like length and athleticism. he has a good three point shooting percentage on a really small sample. but what's he actually good at? I'm not really sure. he's long and athletic so in theory he's supposed to be good defensively? he averages 5 points and 3 rebs a game.
bottom line, he's young and you're drafting potential. so many euro busts from dudes with supposed potential that really didn't produce before coming over here.
I can do this same thing for every player in the draft, including the dude I invented and now youre dick riding, JHS. This ***** wild corny man.

Box score for the Memphis Tigers vs. UCF Knights NCAAM game from March 10, 2023 on ESPN. Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats.www.espn.com
Hendricks scores 5 points in a conference tourney game, the guy he guards scores 32.
You're the same dude that **** on Walker Kessler for like 6 months and the same with Sexton. I'd sit this out for a season and let the grown ups talk.
The revisionist history on my thoughts on WK are wild.

except 15 yo cam boozer and his HS team didn't struggle much in the halfcourt against those 7 footers when they blew out the second best team in the league.
You should take a moment to revisit them. Unless you went PGAB.
That’s kind of my approach as well, but honestly if you do look at the stats it’s not super favorable for them. I believe that throwing out the numbers is generous to them, but it’s also the thing to do. How good/bad they are can’t really be proven. It’s really up to the teams themselves to judge how good they are in workouts.
You keep bringing up Cam Boozer like he isn't one of the best amateur players in the nation regardless of age...
I tried to shoo him away from the Bilal bandwagon. There’s no rhyme or reason for why he suddenly likes someone, but the dumb *** takes are sure to follow lol.

If I recall correctly you wanted Kessler to the G-league so that Lauri could learn to play the 5.
I mean, it's an opinion.

I actually like JHS in the teens but FWIW Ainge's biggest draft miss in Boston was taking a 19 year old freshman Indiana guard, Romeo Langford, with the 14th pick in 2019.
Don't believe that will or should keep him from potentially drafting JHS but nonetheless he does have a recent bad experience drafting a highly touted IU prospect.

I'm confused about how sending someone to the GLeague means they are bad. Rudy went to the GLeague and it worked pretty damn well for him. That was part of the reasoning behind him to the GLeague. The other was for Lauri together more 5 minutes to develop more 5 out lineups.
It also crazy cuz you can go through the draft thread for that year where my early season thoughts on WK were echoed
Locke is depressing today pulling out statistics about odds of getting an allstar, starter, rotation player, or bump by draft ranges like 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20. Summary, the extreme majority outside the top 5 are garbage or mostly irrelevant. Usually rotation only or bust. Debbie downer. Let us have hope for at least the next week please.
The stupidity in the WK take was that Olynyk had to be moved before Kessler could play so Lauri could play more 5 out. Have you ever seen Kelly Olynyk play lol? Even if that’s your priority, it’s was never a choice between Kelly and WK. It was Vando and WK.
