STATS₁₅₋₁₆

harden 43 & 46 on back to back nights

kobe 10-48 from deep this season

More than I thought tbh. Old guy seeing the new guys do new things wants to do them too.

drummond 29-27-0-2-3

jeez

Detroit's Andre Drummond is the first player with 135 points and 135 rebounds through his team's first seven games since Wilt Chamberlain in 1970-71

craze

i was thinking about the alternate history yesterday where the cavs take drummond instead of waiters

terrence ross one pick ahead of drummond is also an underrated all-time bad pick

him slipping to 9th is pretty crazy

like super athletic 6-11 guys who can catch the ball arent usually overlooked

he was really bad at uconn but yeah you sort of have to roll the dice with a guy with that kind of body and skills

i think the way the league is going now that athletic 7 footers just aren't going to slip like that over offensive concerns. if a guy can defend the rim and catch lobs off the pick and roll that's an immediately valuable player (i.e. cauley stein)

yeah the tyson chandler model was def under appreciated a few years ago in ways its not now, but still teams have always loved athletic big men!

yeah it was dumb. i mean drummond had major attitude questions right?

i guess i dont remember why everyone was mad at him

June 26 Update: Andre Drummond: The next Dwight Howard or the next Kwame Brown?

Who knows? Really.

Drummond has all of the tools to be the next Howard. At 18, he's already 7 feet tall, 280 pounds. He has a 7-foot-6 wingspan and elite athletic abilities. That's not a basketball player; that's a basketball god.

But he's also the second-youngest player in the draft, and at times it shows. He doesn't always play hard. He takes off plays and sometimes entire games. His skill level (highlighted by his awful 29.5 percent free throw shooting) is a major work in progress. He doesn't always work hard off the court to improve his game. And when you talk to him, he sounds more like a 16-year-old trapped in the body of a 28-year-old giant.

Anyone who says he knows what Drummond will be is a psychic or a fraud. If he lands on the right team, gets the right coaching and is open to dedicating himself completely to the game, he could be the next Howard.

If Drummond is left on his own, isn't forced to develop or just decides that he doesn't really like basketball, Brown isn't out of the question.

More likely, he's somewhere in between those guys. DeAndre Jordan, anyone?

lol the punchline

love how he's embraced the shoulder hair

yeah

westb 22-11-11

he's leading the league in assists

@ESPNStatsInfo: Most triple-doubles with 15 assists, last 30 seasons:

Magic Johnson: 20
Jason Kidd: 13
Rajon Rondo: 11*

*2 this season

*2 wins this season

rude

B-)

dubs/grizz 56 combined fouls with no hack-a-xxxx

felt like a foul call every time down the floor. game was ugggly

don't know why the league doesn't implement my fix (ie option to decline FTs, retain possession)

that's MY idea

its a good idea whoever had it (me)

steph 46 points on 15/25, 8/13, 8/8 shooting
draymondo 23-8-12-2-2 +34 in 35 minutes, plus 1 middle finger to lagoon

Haha

breaking: draymond green files restraining order against weird online stalker "kevin k" who claims theyre married or something

lmao

nice

westb 21-17-11

30 points 15 assists 10 boards for brandon knight, who's averaging 20-5-4 on 45/38/81 this year and making that contract look mighty ok

thats a big triple double

http://i.imgur.com/50XVYFI.png

only two spots held by wing players and two of the three players see time at the 4

feels a little too early in the season for that chart

what if... the season ended today (because of terrorism)

it seems p solid to me tbh except maybe the guys in the corners but really thats a randos spot anyway, and wld think bron wld make an appearance

guess gasol is p iffy too

Kd not played in enough games too

Y'all whiteside has a trip dub WITH BLOCKS. Kinda rare.

Games not over yet either

Tom Haberstroh ‏@tomhaberstroh 28m28 minutes ago
Hassan Whiteside (17-13-10) is only active player w/ multiple career triple-doubles of the pts-reb-blk variety. It's his 77th career game.

Zingus 29-11

meanwhile, Paul Millsap just became the first player to record at least 15 boards, 5 blocks and 5 triples in a game since the inception of the 3-point line in 1979-80 in Saturday night's big home win over Boston.

Not convinced that Millsap isn't better than Draymond tbh

draymond the better defensive player by a fair amount but it's prob closer than some people think

Milsapp has been a monster on D recently (and for most of the season tbf). Don't think Draymond is as good a paint/rim protector but he's more comfortable on a switch.

I used to get Millsap and Carl Landry mixed up in fantasy; are their games anything at all similar, having barely ever seen either of them play?

Don't think Draymond is as good a paint/rim protector

um dray has 112 blocks on the season
http://bkref.com/tiny/TMUxh

... but millsap has more

21 more in about 200 less minutes played

look at all them assists though

pass the ball, paul

lol i read your post with "a" in place of the "as"

Plus that turnover ratio...

Have to imagine he'd average a few more assists if he was kicking out to Steph and Klay instead of Kyle "hard regression to the mean" Korver and Touch me Teague me.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15131139/three-most-amazing-stephen-curry-shooting-charts-find-nba

milsap prob better than dray for most teams but drays better for the dubs

steph's true shooting % rn is .666 pray for him

steph has always been lowkey affiliated with satan tho

steph is huge into the devil

if you rearrange the letters in "wardell Stephen curry" you get "Mephistopheles" it's true

Stephen Curry led all guards with 108 screens that led to baskets.
