on 3s last season warren and brogdon shot 40%, turner 38% and lamb 35%. with domas rolling that should be a recipe for a lot of shots
― micah, Thursday, 7 November 2019 00:09 (four years ago) link
Yeah but you gotta give Warren a healthy dose of touches inside. He’s like the 5th best finisher in the league talent-wise
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 7 November 2019 00:22 (four years ago) link
I agree that turner should be taking 4 threes a game minimum tho

Weren’t the spurs definitely drafting goga if he’d lasted one more pick
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 7 November 2019 00:41 (four years ago) link
almost certainly yes and instead they got tall luka who might be good one day but we'll never until pop retires bc he hates players under the age of 25

lol my only impression of goga prior to this week was when he was sitting by himself at the draft media day b/c everyone was swarming zion. glad it looks like he can ball.

Better than Zion in the nba this far!

Can't say I've watched Kris Dunn much but I'm having trouble finding a stat that reflects his defensive excellence. What should I look at?
Going back to this after watching him recently…-is persistent and focused. always in his man's jersey. he's a pest. -pokes at ball with few reach in fouls called-understands what other team is trying to do and how his man figures into it-likewise he's good at KYP. doesn't crowd a slasher or give space/go under screens to shooters-reads passing lanes well and is adept at rotating into them at right time

plus the typical good defender traits: moves his feet and doesn't bite on fakes

There haven't been many rookie PGs lately (at least ones who aren't 6-foot-10) who have been as effective from day one as Ja Morant.— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) November 7, 2019
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 November 2019 03:21 (four years ago) link
damian lillard was very effective as a rookie right from the get-go and is not 6-foot-10. perhaps that's who kevin pelton was thinking of when he said "not many".

seems like guys are coming into the league w more advanced skills than they used to 19, 20 year olds just setting it off from day 1

Somehow the nba needs to be able to flex games with more ease. The warriors are gonna be on tv like 35 times and no casuals want to see this team right now.

Same w Pels sans Zion
yeah whatre their rules w that

Jonathan Isaac is probably the most gifted defender in the NBA rn
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 7 November 2019 03:40 (four years ago) link
Ja Morant reminds me of Larry Hughes but the maximal version of Larry Hughes is really good
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 7 November 2019 03:42 (four years ago) link
he had that one great season

the rising skill level of nba rookies is a good trend. the rising number of serious injuries among all nba players is a bad trend. to my mind there's a chance these two trends are related. the game is pushing hard at human physical limits and pushing young people ever harder while their bodies are not fully mature. among other things, it is easier to grow strong muscles fast than it is to grow strong connective tissue fast.
― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 7 November 2019 03:48 (four years ago) link
they should play fewer games and especially eliminate back to backs but, you know,

He ain’t a rookie anymore but I’m glad Fultz has found space for himself with the Magic.

beating 3 bad teams is way out performing their roster tho

its so crazy the dubs are rolling out the worst roster in the league

the hornets play really hard most of the time. i don't know if borrego is a good coach but i'm inclined to like him for that reason.

borrego was a good asst with the spurs
