and led the nation in assist rate despite having mediocre teammates

some people peak in high school or college, some are late bloomers

that was his sophomore season

also some guys' games are better suited to NBA style of play than NCAA, and vice versa

he was great his sophomore season, he went from a barely recruited guy who had a good but not nearly spectacular freshman season to a superstar in his sophomore year and just kept it rolling into the pros, not a huge deal just kinda an unusual progression is all

wonder if he worked on some skill that unlocked his game that summer before he blew up

he forgot to apply his stat points from previous level ups

xp ah yes, forgot that he wasn't a one and done

hopefully nothing

Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is questionable with back tightness.

Nuggets are without 5 of their top 8 players tonight which isn’t optimal

Sixers fan here. Would it be crazy to trade Embiid for say McCollum and one or two first round picks? Play Simmons at the 5 some. /armchairgm

think u cld get a lot more for him

you dont trade your best player. they should move horford or could move simmons.

Got a feeling Embiid has already peaked and is gonna be washed by 30

entirely possible

yeah his game hasnt improved/evolved much

memphis playing the worst D ive seen this year

I'd throw Brett Brown in the trade!

they have 'turned it off'

too bad jaren jackson doesn't look like he's going to be anywhere near the type of defender ppl thought he might be predraft.

hes still got time

he does have time but i think it will be put toward becoming decent instead of dominant

celtics up 30+ in back to back games after losing to every random team for two weeks

..........its zion time friends

nba tv is running a split screen of whatever game they're looking in on atm and, in the other window, it's zion stretching

man fred vanvleet is a good player

our big beautiful boy is on the court!

sweet cross-court pass to a cutting ingram

Yeah very nice. There’s been so much buildup, I’m almost kind of nervous for him.

rmde at mark jackson immediately harping on how he needs to get in better shape

sure pulled him quick, maybe he's tired already

i believe he is on a very tight minutes limit to start off

put zion in

lmao mjax already redoing the 2019 draft and taking ja #1

mark jackson now shitting on zion because after 4 minutes he has decided ja morant is better

hes really come out hating here lol

hawks sand trae young beat the clippers tonight

i have become very sympathetic to the argument that the nba's media partners absolutely suck at getting people excited about the nba

maybe i am not ceo material but if i were adam silver and i were listening to this i would be throwing a complete shitfit

Why did Nike outfit him in Timbs looking ass shoes for his first game lmao

Yah the tnt main product is shameful these days. Way too much hatin

ESPN and tnt

this is not to say coverage needs to be all positive or anything but jesus christ can we be happy dude is making his nba debut for a night before we start poking holes

bunch of old grumpuses

don't think i've watched a single minute of post-game stuff this year

And with that.

I’ve skipped the national ones too. there’s podcasts for that

Zion is a fat dude. Not saying this as a criticism but that’s a fat guy out there

he’s looking a little lost out there
