Crazy!!! Would you miss a finals game to be at the draft? What does that say about who you are? Priorities? I don't know... but if you have dog in you, you go for the championship and miss the green room.

My problem with Fears isn't Collier / Keyonte. They both have major flaws. It's simpler than that. The ONLY two things I hear consistently about Fears is... HE HAS AMAZING HANDLES and he is SUPER YOUNG carrying a team. If Tre is a problem because all he can do is shoot and he has no stocks...

Congrats to Presti, Shai, J Williams, and OKC. Sucks for the Pacers and Hailliburton. Thst is for sure a ruptured Achilles. The Celtics and Pacers are going to both take 1 year off and reload with the 2026 draft. Calling it now. If either ends up in the lottery they end with a top 4 pick...

A.I. should have predicted the lottery balls too.

Stockton had terrible measurables but an insane competitive drive and incredible timing and passing ability that could be defined as feel.

Tools are defined by length, height, speed, strength, reach, fg%, etc. All measurables attributes. But two players with identical measurables have very different capabilities. So, the difference is much more minute and nuance. Feel would be unmeasurable but more along the lines of "He's...

Watch the video. Its about how good you are at the game and how you use your tools better than others with similar tools. It is defined as one of the main reasons why teams have gotten worse at evaluating talent over the last 7 years measured by the amount of top selections in the finals.

FEEL was more about processing speed, situational understanding of game time moments at an NBA level. Jokic's court mapping, Halliburton's playmaking, Stephs depth perception, they didnt say it but Brunsons balance / scoring prowess / wiggle in the paint comes to mind.

If you watched the video you would know. Best FEEL was an "almost mystical" intangible that represents how does that player use his tools, not so much what tools does he have. The example was Giannis vs Caboclo and Stanley Johnson vs Devin Booker.

I posted the trade on fanspo and have had only positive reviews which is atypical on that site.

So, are they keeping him? Because the Rockets are maybe offering Green, the wolves are maybe offering Randle, and the Raptors are offering Barrett. No one is offering anything decent for a 36 year old KD with 1 year left on his contract. Oh yeah, and the Suns locker room is a mess. The more...

Conclusions were interesting... basically there are fewer shortcuts to defining what a top player looks like but FEEL is a big one. So, what players in this draft have the best FEEL?

THAT looks like a top pick... I want one!

How's about this trade? We fix the Suns locker room while saving them gobs of cash. We get 3 picks... 2 for Lauri and 1 for taking on Paul Georges contract. The Sixers get an upgrade on a much better contract for 3 picks.

Yang looks really good according to stats. But just looking at him move he looks like the love child of a 1980s Chinese robot and Andre the Giant. Clearly both matter but I really wonder which matters most.... Stats and Analytics OR How a player pops while watching them?

I missed it. Makes sense.

I am surprised no one has selected Hugh Gonzalez. I think he is first round material for sure. Maybe I missed that someone picked him up.

Blah blah blah... gerbils and Schroder went to the blue oyster bar. The end.

Kongratulations... Was that one too far? I never kon tell.
