i'm locked in for the anthony edwards experience
"To be honest," he says, "I can't watch basketball."He retells the story about the first time he dunked and how it signaled to him that he was talented and could accomplish something he might not have been able to in football, which was his first love. So that's the direction he went, simple as that, hanging up his cleats. "That's all I needed to see," he says.So when after that did he get into basketball?"I'm still not really into it," he says. "I love basketball, yeah. It's what I do."He's not entirely convincing. He says if he were drafted by the NFL tomorrow, he'd let basketball go. "Because you can do anything on the field," he explains. "You can spike the ball. You can dance. You can do all type of disrespectful stuff." In the NBA, he says, "you can't do any of that. You'll get fined."

I think I like Haliburton out of Iowa State for the Hawks. Honestly I haven't dug into this years draft that much, but he sounds like the perfect guy to back up Trae. Plus the nickname Dick Cheney Haliburton rolls right off the tongue.

this years draft seems to have the most uncertainty since at least the year anthony bennett went #1

this seems very worth discussing... for the warriors

trading a decent young player to move up 2 spots in a draft everyone hates would be a very bulls thing to do

who knows, locally everyone is like gersson rosas is some kinda new age analytics wheeler dealer process guy so it could be a smokescreen, but i haven't seen a whole lot of evidence that any of his supposed draft acumen as of yet

smart move for the wolves to trade andrew wiggins and replace him with anthony wiggins, i mean anthony edwards
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:02 (three years ago) link
i've always thought the wolves would eventually settle on edwards. lamelo and wiseman just don't make sense given their roster
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:18 (three years ago) link
dumb franchises do dumb stuff, such as giving up a first round pick to acquire d'angelo russell and sign him to a huge extension and then taking a SG who would prefer to play in the NFL so he can do disrespectful dances at no 1 bcuz you can't draft a PG
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:20 (three years ago) link
edwards shot 40% last year, not great for someone with elite athleticism, granted he was a freshman taking a ton of shots for a team without much talent, but still youd like to see someone whos primary merit is physical dominance be physically dominant, especially in college where he had a bigger advantage
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:33 (three years ago) link
all the scouting says he has a low bb iq game which makes sense if he doesnt like basketball
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:38 (three years ago) link
mb someone just needs to convince him that dunking on guys and yelling and flexing is disrespectful

breaking ankles also very disrespectful
I was surprised to see how bad everyone's stats were in that breakdown CAD posted (thx CAD!)

its a bad draft the best player will prob be taken 14th which iirc matt a said months ago

what a coincidence that the celtics have the 14th pick

celtics trying to put something together for harden without giving up tatum or brown? hes obvs an amazing player but harden in boston has very high train wreck potential imho
The Celtics keep searching for trade pathways to get into the top three of tonight's NBA Draft, league sources say. 10-ish hours left to find one ...— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) November 18, 2020
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 18:34 (three years ago) link
also seems like philly cld just pull the trigger on a simmons swap and beat anything the celtics want to offer
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 18:36 (three years ago) link
maybe theres some non harden player theyre after tho idk
It feels like no one is talking about the Wolves trading down for some reason. Are they that in love with LaMelo or Edwards?

it was rumored that the houston organization in general was maybe not real thrilled that daryl told everyone he was going to take a year off and spend time with his kids and then had a new job within 5 days.

i could see them being mad at him for a number of reasons, however i think they should try to be mature about this

Anthony Edwards reminds me of JR Rider. The eyeball test is there, he has the talent that could fit exactly in a scorer role but he’s pretty much a walking red flag.

max kellerman making a good case for halliburton at no. 1, basically that you go broke trying to imagine that there's a true number one superstar in a draft where there isn't one, so go for a more sure thing player with a lower ceiling and higher floor
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:48 (three years ago) link
eh, i dislike that line of thinking. there's going to be at least one really good player in the draft. the wolves don't have all this existing talent where they can start picking high-end glue guys.
