it seems that this is one of the first years in a while that it's tough to find enough worthy players to fill out both the forward and the guard spots

PG normalized after his hot streak which he does every year (shooting splits since asb 38/31)JH also came down to earth a bit, to be expected after he got his squad back and could chill a bit (shooting splits post asb 41/27)
Giannis has increased his 3p% by a whole point post asb and everything else has maintained. Bucks are going to have the best record. It's his.

ROY is gonna go to Luka BUT the raw stats (and even TS%) have really evened out over the season between he and Trae. http://bkref.com/tiny/GCdZ2like it's really close. I would consider a co-ROY thing for real.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
trial by fire and so forth, not sure its really the best approach tbh
its fine if you're all in on the star and you want to build from the ground up.
― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:01 (five years ago) link
yeah I mean only a certain caliber of player can handle it, I do think luka is a level or two above trae especially projecting forward but trae has been out of his mind since 2019 started
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:28 (five years ago) link
Every time people start hyping Trae young I check the stats and he’s still shooting 42/33 on the season. Luka’s just better.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 4 April 2019 00:54 (five years ago) link
I mean trae’s been nuts and I’m really optimistic about him...but luka will be an MVP candidate in a few years
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 01:57 (five years ago) link
luka cld get there but thats a long road
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 02:04 (five years ago) link
Luka is also shooting 43/33 Matt

its the thing abt being the best teen since lebron its just obvs not true, i cant stand for it

can u name a better 1
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:35 (five years ago) link
like in real life teens are usually bad
ant davis obvs for one just real super clear

yeah otm zion too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:37 (five years ago) link
hes prob not even still the best by whatever bs stat was cooked up anymore tbh that was when he was on a heater at the beginning of the year
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:40 (five years ago) link
best teen since lebron was bieber
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:50 (five years ago) link
i mean not at basketball but he was the #1 teen you cant deny it
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:51 (five years ago) link
bieber is going to be a dad can u believe it feel like hes grown so much been on a major journey
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:52 (five years ago) link
still hes a teen in my heart
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:53 (five years ago) link
yeah ok, his comps are lebron james and anthony davis, please forgive me
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 04:45 (five years ago) link
throw kyrie in there too
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 04:46 (five years ago) link
just some guys lol
theyre not really comps tho is the thing the stats are obvs not consistent across that era, like potential mvp candidate is super high praise and its good enough for what hes done but hes not in the same league as a prospect as bron and davis were, and like best teen isnt really that meaningful of a thing even if it were true
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 06:04 (five years ago) link
and tough shot maker w not much defensive upside isnt that easy of a way to make a living in the nba
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 06:06 (five years ago) link
i mean thats like kyrie which seems like a much better comparison than guys who are just beasts in the nba, and kyrie kinda hangs around the edges of the mvp conversation

would solve a lot of problems if they just let the media coach the teams while the coaches vote on the awards

I hear media opinions ALL THE TIME. They're not hard to find. Meanwhile every lil nugget of "insider" talk re: how certain players are discussed, gameplanned for, evaluated, etc from coaches and current players is treasured like a rare taco and devoured by me.

so I guess this means there's a better chance Kemba stays in Charlotte now that they can offer him the supermax. this might end up being more of a curse than a blessing though, seems like every mega deal handed out to a PG in recent years (Wall, Paul, Westbrook, Conley) has been a mistake or looks almost certain to become one in the near future.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:27 (four years ago) link
I'd swap KD for PG and the rest looks ok.
― easy ball shooter (Spottie), Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:30 (four years ago) link
yeah kemba should probably stay haha. only supermax that has worked is the curry one.
harden too
― easy ball shooter (Spottie), Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:32 (four years ago) link
seeing lebron on the 3rd team is kinda O__o but is also the right decision.
― easy ball shooter (Spottie), Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:43 (four years ago) link
pg on the first team is corny
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:53 (four years ago) link
The fact that both Giannis and Harden were unanimous 1st team picks makes it even more apparent that the MVP race is between those two and quite close.
― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 23 May 2019 18:54 (four years ago) link
I think Giannis is going to win pretty comfortably, that's my prediction.

klay didnt coast as much as others on the team imo. he just shot poorly to start the season.
