    Rookie Contract Power Rankings

    I agree on this list based on "what you have shown" basis. Projecting anything more would be unfair as they all have some amount of NBA tape, but Hendricks would likely leap up to 3 if I were projecting. Shooting, length and defense is a combination that ensures long term employment.

    Coin toss will be used to determine their pick order, and its only applied if neither one wins in the lottery (meaning they pick at 5 and 6).

    Key's Pouting

    Making final declarations about Key is way premature. He didnt take a leap in his second year, that much we know. Doesnt mean he will never take one. Imo if he improves his shootingva bit his floor is a shorter Jordan Clarkson with less craftiness but better passing and straight line ability...

    I dont think 4 is the answer. Rotating fast (= running) to close out corner/wing shooters while also being at least somewhat imposing help defender in the paint is why good defenders at 4 are usually super athletic. Athleticism is exactly what Flip lacks. I think he can exist as a 4 with...

    The Lauri Thread

    Iso-Lauri was a monster created for tanking / development purposes. Its not like they were watching him do that in TC thinking "yeah, this will boost up his trade value". Zanik started talking about how long it takes to build a perennial contender last spring, and that was before they extended...

    The Lauri Thread

    Wouldnt take anything away from a season where his main goal was to not suffer real injuries while suffering from fake injuries all season. He didnt dunk over anyone... sure. Doesnt mean he couldnt.

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    This has been suggested by many, so this is not targeted at you... but it can create a situation where 8 teams outside of playoff picture are ineligible due to having won within the last two years, which means the 4 winners come from the other 6 lottery teams. 66% chance at top 4 would cause...

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    NHL also drafts that way. No one declares themselves into the draft. If you are 18 you are fair game. Whether they ever even sign a deal or not is another topic, but they dont draft players, they draft the exclusive right to sign that player which expires after a certain time period.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Some of the talking heads say that when Grizzlies hired Iisalo and Noah LaRoche Jenkins was alteady on the clock and they wanted to assess and groom those two before mqking the change. Apparently Wizards were also aggressively courting Iisalo so the FO may have given "a wink" about possible...

    2024-25 Western Conference Prediction Contest

    Few notes: Alphabetic order has ranked #1 in EVERY score check. Thats kinda insane. RTK, who I cannot find to tag, wins the "in-season elevator" award for highest positional variance. He was #1 in first score check, then fell to #17 in the 2nd and now is back up to #3. He had the most unique...

    2024-25 Western Conference Prediction Contest

    OP updated with current standings. @Handlogten's Heros and @KqWIN jumped to share the lead at this late stage, but its a close race at the top and I assume we may see some small standings changes that may swing the outcome. Very few people know this, but there is a tie breaker rule for the top...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    I dont know if the health controls are stricter but dressing injured players to avoid forfeiting has happened before. In fact few times it has lead to a situation where a team ran out of eligible players in a game, and a player who had already fouled out was therefore allowed to re-enter or...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Dallas may need to forfeit some games this season. They dont have any means to add players (they are out of 10 day contacts and hard capped to not exceed 1st apron with just 51k$ of space under the apron), and they only got 8 guys healthy atm. However Kessler Edwards can only be rostered in 1...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if we dont win the #1 pick we should hope that its either Washington or Charlotte that wins it. Tankathon says our chances of getting #2 or #3 are lower than #1, but that is because it discounts the scenarios where we have already won an earlier draw. In...
