Here are two players I am very high on that are projected mid first round: (Salaun is raw but he is only 18- and has potential as scorer, passer, defender. Carter has 6' 9" wingspan and is elite defender, rebounder. I would be thrilled if we could some how package our two later picks to move...

View: https://youtu.be/PCstPa6rW9I I would be cool with packaging our second two picks to move up and take this guy. He is going around 24-25 in recent mocks...

Kessler's first year was f****** amazing, and was probably helped a lot by having Mike Conley leading the team for the first 50 games or so. This year-- in order to see what John Collins can do in a starting center role-- Hardy has used Kessler often with backup guards whose main contribution to...

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/karl-malone-free-throw-percentage Some of you guys would have written off Karl Malone in his first year or two because of FT%. His first two years: 48.1/59.8. versus Kessler's 51.6/57.6 so far...

50 games played and 26 to go: Current stats: 11.7 pts, 2.8 r, 4.3 ast, 39.1% shooting, 34.8 3%, 81.8 ft % My prediction: 13.4 pts, 3.0 r, 4.5 ast, 40.4/ 35.2/ 82.0

I've been thinking the same thing...

Yeah- I had noticed that his eFG% was better than expected because of 3's. I think Key could have 40+ % by the end of season, and hopefully 3pt % up to 35% or more. If his PPG gets up to near 13/game that puts him in very good company for rookie yr stats..

Was discouraged to see that Hendricks fouled out and only played 18 min tonight. He shot 0-4 but had 6 rebounds 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block. The crazy part is that his plus/minus was +11. The next best Stars player had -3. ????

I like SmoKey. Announcer catch-phrases: "Where there's smoke.... there is Fire!" , "he just got Smoked.."

Those stat lines are amazingly similar-- but 70 games played versus just 24 so far. There are 48 games left this season for Keyonte to bring the numbers up- and I would be surprised if he doesn't.

I keep hearing that Collins is not good on defense- but his defensive rating is pretty good and here is an excerpt from an article written last year from an analyst who rated him with an A on defense; **When Collins entered the league, his defense was a cause for concern. That is no longer the...

For anyone interested-- Some advanced stats show that John Collins, contributes to winning in ways beyond his shooting numbers that were down last year. Last year his Win Share per minute numbers were FAR higher than Kyle Kuzma (for comparison). His offensive rating and defensive rating numbers...

Remember that Gobert was playing in the D-league his rookie season. I think Kessler could become 80-90 percent of Gobert is defensively, and better on offense. So we traded Gobert at 40,000,000+ /yr for a more well-rounded replacement + several rotation pieces + 4 first rounders (perhaps a...
