Pelicans fired David Griffin and hired Joe Dumars. It's time to treat the Pelicans like the Kings. Call them everyday.

If you only looked at the hits list, you would say that drafting athletic wing is good...but if you only looked at the busts lists you would also come away with the conclusion that athletic wing is high bust potential. It's definitely hit and miss. I don't know if there's a real trend to...

The next time we want to brag about how stingy Ainge is and how great that is, be reminded that waiting doesn’t always result in the better package.

Just a quick scan (not doing anyone in the last 3 drafts). Players drafted in top 5 are bolded: Guys who struggled to stay in a rotation: 2020 - Wiseman 2020 - K.Hayes 2019 - Culver 2019 - J.Hayes 2018 - Bamba 2017 - Jackson 2017 - Nkilikina 2016 - Bender 2016 - Dunn 2016 - Chriss 2015 -...

The idea is to look at use cases that would be relevant when drafting from 3-5, which I would consider to be great prospects, but not elite prospects and not prospects that would normally be considered a #1 caliber. Here is the list of guys I'm looking at, I understand it's somewhat subjective...

Eventually I will probably make a separate post for this, but I've been looking into second tier prospect level guys who became star level players. So mostly guys in the the 3-8 range who were good prospects, but not elite prospects. I'm looking at 1) why they weren't considered elite 2) what...

I’d be talking out of my *** if I were to make a judgement on TH and how his injury affects his future, I didn’t rank him either. Physically I have no idea what this means for him. Having said that…while he was a player that lacked BBIQ/Feel/Awareness, he was a very simple and straightforward...

Somewhat unrelated, but it’s incredibly lame that Zach Lowe basically decides the ballot every year….there is so much group think. I think Lowe himself would say the same thing. When the votes got revealed it was supposed to be for accountability, but now everyone does the same thing and votes...

Just got around to watching the whole game. Dybantsa and Boozer are just incredible. They are men amongst boys out there and highly skilled as well. Tounde looked awesome physically, also clearly a T1 athlete. He’s got to be on top 10 watch for 2026. Ament - Cody vibes ngl. Sarr - Thought...

Depends on what you mean by a decent NBA career. For me (especially the case given where a lot of them were drafted) this means having a real second contract and rotation role of any kind. I would probably bet on any of the 2-5 guys getting to that level, but maybe it is too optimistic on all 4...

Will have to revisit once the recency bias subsides...but I think #1 is very obvious as is #6. 2-5 is really close and I actually think all of them will have a decent career down the line.

Brice definitely has to be considered a bright spot this season. He definitely has a future in this league. One of the elite shooters in the NBA and only 21 years old.

Chances are that this is just the start....but hey, we did the damn thing!

Heard there’s some politics at play. He may have missed a team USA mini camp or something like that.

I think he would probably be above Hugo. He plays in the same competitions, but he's shown more flashes....That's not saying much, however, because Hugo hasn't really shown any flashes. Both guys have very little game time this year, but Sarr did recently have 4 double digit scoring games in a...

The amount of trolling on this forum has gotten out of hand.

With hindsight, it may have been better to just release Conley. Actually not even maybe the Jazz got rekt in that trade.

Miller was a lot older than Ace tbf. Having said that, I don’t think it’s always correct to just assume that a younger will make a giant leap and be as good as X player once they get to the same age. For me, what stands out with that comparison is that I think both players faced some concern...

I think the eye test is definitely more favorable to him. He does the things that catch your eye, and while I think his awareness/motor can be a little hit and miss I think it's not too bad. On the other hand, you have have to reconcile with the fact that Rutgers was horrible on defense and he...

Eh...I don't know about that. His offensive game is not very expansive, but he can do the one thing (at least in theory) that will make him "playable". If Cody could stand still and make threes he would be playable in some sense and I think that's true for pretty much every wing. If Hendricks...
