speaking of rooks cade actually being 6'6 seems materially important given that everyone spent a year believing he was 6'8

idk green looks like a future scoring champ
― lag∞n, Wednesday, November 10, 2021 8:25 PM (nine minutes ago)
maybe. but there's a world where he never reaches those heights as a scorer and doesn't offer much else across the box score or on defense. since he's so young and a super fun leaper/dunker that pick isn't really being scrutinized in light of how some of the other guys are performing but if i was a rockets fan i might be looking at mobley and barnes like "hm"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 November 2021 01:37 (two years ago) link
i think his wingspan is still above average (for 6'6) but i'm watching the pistons/rockets now and he just looks like a normal sized guy. there were people claiming that he could be a 6'8 point guard before the draft!
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 November 2021 01:38 (two years ago) link
i mean you never can tell how a guy will develop so much of that comes down the the famous intangibles but green is an absolute freak out there and not just because of his physical attributes which are insane hes clearly also got the scorers nose for the basket ball handling ability and so forth he looks pretty insane to me, mobely does look like a generational defender tho

The thing about Suggs is he is absolutely the right player for the Magic and where they’re at

They don’t need another long athletic guy who is 3 years away, their long athletic guys have completed those 3 years and it’s time to have a roster that makes sense
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 11 November 2021 02:39 (two years ago) link
i definitely did not like the obi toppin pick, but it looks like he’s gonna be a useful instant offense big off the bench, a la marrese speights, or someone.
idk if that’s what you want from #8 overall but hey
― grove street (party) direction (voodoo chili), Thursday, 11 November 2021 02:44 (two years ago) link
xp ok but how is suggs contributing to that? he doesn't seem close to ready based on these first few games.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 November 2021 02:44 (two years ago) link
it's kind of an irrelevant point since the long rangy guys got picked before the magic were up. whether they missed on josh giddey is a more pertinent question i think

The Celtics, Lakers, and Phoenix Suns were all on Garnett’s list. He remembers Steve Nash making a regretful phone call on behalf of Suns owner Robert Sarver, saying that Garnett would not only have to take a pay cut if he came to Phoenix, but that “they wasn't keeping all the pieces that I was asking for or requesting,” he says. “Steve Nash came to me and was very disappointed. He also apologized on behalf of Phoenix and ownership, and he was very, very, very deliberate about how much he wanted to play with me.”
Fucking Sarver

on the bagley stuff i think the kings are hanging on to him to use as trade filler. maybe that will be useful the deadline idk. why he is still on the bench being cancerous is another question.

Bucks made 26 3s last night which is apparently a record at MSG. funny cuz I think they actually had the worst 3pt% in the league before this
― frogbs, Thursday, 11 November 2021 15:26 (two years ago) link
the knicks either have godawful 3pt defense or godawful 3pt luck. watching last night, it felt like a little of column a and a little of column b. also i think an opposing player has had a career high score in pretty much every game at msg this year

iirc last season was the opposite. like no one shot 3s well against them
― Spottie, Thursday, 11 November 2021 15:49 (two years ago) link
yeah their scheme gives up a lot of 3s and mostly teams didnt make them last year
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 November 2021 15:52 (two years ago) link
they were a real good defensive team but adding kemba and fournier to the mix prob hasnt helped

just looked last year they were first in opponent 3pt% at 34% this year theyre 26th at 38% and theyre giving up the second most attempts where last year they were 10th

knicks need kemba to become a semblance of his former self so hey don’t have to rely on barrett to score 20+ to compete offensively

i am familiar with this practice lol
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 November 2021 16:14 (two years ago) link
i suspect you cant have a starting backcourt of kemba + fournier and be a good defensive team, just too weak at the point of attack, bringing fournier off the bench makes sense except im not sure they really have the roster to make it work since rose is already playing that role its just hard to avoid a lot of minutes with two of kemba fournier rose playing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 November 2021 16:15 (two years ago) link
think it might be time for the knicks to make a panic trade, lets get back to the old ways
