    You suck in the NCAA: Media: He's young an inexperienced and may not be ready for the pros. You suck in the NBA: [Sources] x is close to be traded. There's a lot of maturity and professionalism required to navigate many facets of pro basketball. So if you're too distracted/not mature enough...

    Only on the surface it's basic and yes the pros obviously have more resources, time being one of them. What they don't have is a rather sheltered learning environment from which student athletes can benefit and identifying how it affects which player and which player is a lock to make another...

    If u still have that article, please share. In practice, all it needs is one team to take the "risk" on the older player, but the complexity of the whole issue is so large... If age isn't a reliable predictor on future performance and upside, what does that mean about how much student athletes...

    Utah Jazz vs. L.A. Clippers at 830PM

    I still like him a lot on that garbage game. Great humor, regardless whether it's involuntary or a role he plays.

    Bill Walton on the Clippers feed is absolutely hilarious

    I think after how older college studs still found another gear in the NBA (Mitchell, Lillard, McCollum, Thomas,...) teams may start to look at age as a predictor of performance and growth in a different way.

    Quotes from around the league on Korver's Privileged article

    Not sure what you do mean "they". If it's African-Americans or minorities in general, I disagree and can eloborate on how I think about it if requested. On the other hand if it's mankind as a whole, then I agree. Recognizing patterns is a human ability that has long served various purposes of...

    Based on the little I've watched of the tournaments and some highlights of players, I kinda like two guys that ESPN has below 20 on their top 100. Horton-Tucker and Paschall. I think both are interesting prospects with untapped upside a good feel for the game. Horton-Tucker is super young and...

    If Portland wins on Sunday 4th seed is very unlikely and sitting guys the last two games should be considered.

    Tonight's games will decide a lot of the playoff seeding. Spurs nuggets and rockets clippers can potentially cause teams resting stars down the road.

    After last night's Nuggets game our hopes for a 2nd round matchup are limited to the Warriors resting their guys before the playoffs.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-nba-predictions/?ex_cid=rrpromo They got us the 4th seed since we'd have a better Division ranking than the Blazers ( who are currently 4-9 against NW) I just don't like that they project the Warriors to take the 1st seed but upon looking up Denver's...

    2018-2019 NBA Season

    Watching the Clippers a little more the last weeks and seeing how they overperformed both last and this year given their nominal roster strength, I have to say that Doc is a pretty good coach. After seeing his superstar teams fail over and over I thought his reputation got established by...

    The official 2018 summer league roster thread

    Malcolm Hill has played last season for my hometown team. Would be surprised if he doesn't get cut quickly. Very inconsistent, good touch, herky jerk start-stop game, inconsistent floor vision and decision making. Good spot up shooter, good pull up from midrange, very weird, slow, yet accurate...

    I'd be extremely surprised if Doncic would even be present in Vegas for Summer League. And if he's there, then it's mainly as a vacation. Mavs must make sure that he's got time to rest now that he just finished his season and starts strength and conditioning in late July for the upcoming season.

    Oh I think I mixed up 2 situations. Under the last CBA a team could extend a player and trade him at any time, it was just that for the first half a year his salary cap only counted half for trade purposes. But now when a player is in the last year of his contract he has to give permission...
