One of the big concerns about Demin's draft case was that he dropped off significantly against better competition. Doesn't seem to be affecting him in the NBA. When I saw someone break down the numbers it didn't seem like the drop off was backed very well by the numbers (even though they were...

Demin's shooting has been a revelation this year. Nearly 40% from 3 on 9 attempts per36.

Brice wasn't worth developing until he was. Cody wasn't worth developing until he was. You said it was a waste of time to give those guys minutes. Should we have just benched them forever? For a guy who loves to pivot, I think you should be open to the idea than an opinion can change and you...

It's a crummy situation that we put ourselves in, but I wouldn't give him up for what is basically a 32 FRPs. I think the exchange of other picks is fairly even across. If we get into a S&T situation, this is probably about the most we could expect though.

The Jazz goofed with the Kessler situation, but I think that's a pretty terrible package for for him. Seems like 3 picks, but you're actually giving up 2.

Windy saying that OKC is exploring Hartenstein trades. Seems like they know they can't keep him. I think he's an ideal system fit at C.

28 has to be a swap. 29 is already sent to DAL. Bet they regret sending that one out for Luka!

They are always "no thanks" until they aren't.

One big we should definitely look into picking up is Charles Bassey. He is with the Sixers now, but if they don’t sign him for the rest of the season he is a great fit for Hardy’s system. Daishen Nix is also still out there. If Harkless doesn’t work out, he’s another defensive guard to trial...

35 games left with a goal to lose as many as possible. There really is no better time to trial players than now. Harkless/Oscar should be on that list. But we really don’t need so many roster spots taken up by the Unc’s. If things go right, we won’t have this opportunity again.

I don’t have thoughts about Dadiet in particular, but this is probably the last year we have lots of minutes to do a trial run. I strongly believe that “developing” is mostly about acquiring/revealing talent. IMO, we should really dedicate more minutes/roster spots to prospects just to see how...

It’s not a problem. He just needs to shoot it like prime Klay!

OKC and BOS are run by spreadsheet enjoyers. Their spreadsheets would tell them to try to trade Jalen and Jaylen. I wonder if one of them has it in them to offer one up in a Giannis trade.

You just named 3 players with significantly higher free throw rates than Ace in their rookie year. Do you realize that horrible arguments work against your case, not for it? And yes, free throw rate, not raw free throw attempts, is the correct way to understand the concern.

There's a decent list of rookies that are above league average efficiency and a much longer list of rookies who are more efficient than Ace. But that's not the point. The point is that he getting FT's is an important part of his development. His poor efficiency despite strong performance...

The injury obviously has an impact on things, but if you look back on the tape from UCF (not highlights but actual tape I don't think the low BBIQ stuff should be a surprise at all.

In the month of January Ace is a below league average efficiency and it's because he doesn't get to the line. That's why there's a special interest in his FT attempts. January is the perfect example as to why it's important, because he's played well and still isn't efficient.

A good way to avoid the FT problem is to act like FTA don't exist lol.

I was just clarifying that my concern with Ace's FTr is not a concern with it not being able to improve. The starting point is just so low.

I'm talking about what gets people excited or concerned about a player. That's all relative to how they view the player in the first place.
