yup we are officially in that no-man's land where Lauri is a lot better and means more to us, than he can command from other teams. it would take a Harper type deal (or Ausar and a couple firsts) for the Jazz to move him and the Spurs/Pistons simply won't do that. basically he's impossible...

yeah, he's dealt with an injury. so those stats are a small sample - only played 6 games so far.

i haven't read this thread much, but this class is absolutely insane. any one of AJ, Peterson or Boozer could very easily fall out of the top 3, even top 5 - and they've all been great. this class is that good.

oh sorry. yeah, i agree 100%.

yeah, that's tough. we could quibble over whether or not they SHOULD include Harper in a deal, but there is zero chance that they will. teams always overvalue their young draftees, especially when they show some of the promise Harper has shown this season. I mean, 14, 4 and 4 in 23 minutes a...

i understand and agree with your point to an extent. it is a cherry picked, aged-based "record", no question. but it also isn't THAT obscure, random or specific. 20 ppg is a pretty general line to draw. the 4 threes is a tad more specific/cherry picked, but it's just two numbers that are...

i've had the same thought. i don't remember him shooting it that quick in college. but yeah, at least for now it's working. if he can shoot it that fast - at his size - and it goes in, well he might be pretty good!

14, 6 and 11. Since he's been back, it's clear his ability to make plays and find guys in scoring position is unique on this roster. I'm the biggest Collier apologist on the board and even I wondered if there simply wasn't a place for him in the guard rotation with Key and WCJ. I...

the offense is just different with Collier at the point.

yup. seems hard to sustain 10 FTA/gm, but at the same time, one would expect his 3pt% to come up quite a bit as well. just have to hope the decrease in FTA and the increase in 3pt% keep his TS% somewhere in the high 50s or low 60s. it's clear he's put in the work on his body and that is...

I said in another thread, maybe the key appreciation thread - not sure - that after a 17 and 6 season on 54% TS, he needed to get himself to around 18/19 ppg and 58% this season. sitting at 23 and 8 on 61% TS right now. I'll take it.

scary what he already is and even scarier what he can still become.

i don't think there is any question sensabaugh is an nba rotation player based on what he did in the second half of last season, summer league, pre-season and one game into this year. the only question with him, is HOW good is he or can he be - is he a 25 ppg guy at some point, or does he...

i think that says hoodied.

wcj's superpower at least at this point in his career is the pace he plays with, his change of pace and how under control he is at all times - he plays like he's a 10 year veteran. it's wildly impressive to watch. also, i couldn't be more impressed with his on ball defense. if he can get...

looks like williams is definitely not in the rotation. that's even with injuries to niang, collier, love, and sick minutes restricted Ace.

crazy how many jazz fanz were willing to give up on a 21 year old who'd come off a 17 and 6 second season.

the bolded. no it's literally not. 18 and 7 for a frosh in a top conference is objectively good. there has literally never been a freshman basketball player in the history of college basketball who put up at least 18 and 7 in a top 4 conference who didn't have a good freshman season...

ace didn't play poorly at rutgers. the only people who think he played poorly are the ones who overthink it by getting too deep into the weeds. if one didn't like him as a prospect, this is probably the reason why - too much overthinking. the fact is, he averaged 18 and 7 on 46% FGs, and was...

matching KD's rookie season is fairly realistic for any really good rookie. where KD is going to start to leave any other prospect in the dust is his second season. he took a major leap in year two and the rest is history. but his rookie year, for somebody who was so dominant in college is...
