    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...

    2023 NBA Draft Megathread

    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...

    Confidence Level in Walker

    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...

    Confidence Level in Walker

    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...

    Comparable rookie years to Keyonte's. (I thought I had linked just the PER 36 min section of each player) Just look at the rookie year Per 36 min

    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..

    Sensabaugh and Hendricks watch thread in gleague

    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. ????

    Keyonte’s nickname ideas

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

    Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

    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.

    Jazz trade for John Collins

    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...

    Jazz trade for John Collins

    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...

    What is Walker Kessler's upside?

    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...

    Donald is about to go through some things...

    Your response reveals how miles deep you have been pulled into the propaganda machine the Right has been using since Reagan. Smaller government, less regulation will return power to the people. Every person who buys into that nonsensical concept is a pawn of the Billionaire-owned Right-wing...

    Donald is about to go through some things...

    The massive protests- like the truckers- are made up of frustrated men- who are being manipulated to do the dirty work for the true authoritarian dictator wannabes like Trump. Rupert Murdock, Carlson Tucker, Donald Trump- and probably most Republican politicians-- who are encouraging this...

    Danny Ainge - Please pull the trigger - Nothing is going to be worse than this

    Hire Johnnie Bryant to replace Quin. I don't think he got enough credit for the success the team had when he was developing our players.

    GET PATRICK BEVERLY

    That was my first thought when I wondered if he would be available. They might say yes because JC is 4 years younger. Regular season you could argue JC's offense was more valuable, but in the playoffs- he dropped way off, and Beverly's production got better. I would definitely make the trade.

    Sophomore year projection for Favors

    Kirilenko type numbers -- blocks, steals I don't know how Favors was used or coached in New Jersey, but if you look at just his games with Utah, his blocks and steals were off the charts for a rookie. The last ten games his numbers per 48 minutes were very similar to Kirilenko in his best...
