suggs doesn’t quite have the athleticism of drose or westbrook, but he’s not far off, and his jumper is wayyyy ahead of either of theirs

there’s been 3 amazing final four games that have ended in long distance buzzer beaters in the last 5 years (villanova-UNC, duke-butler) which can only happen in college bcuz you can’t advance the ball lol

i can't even believe i'm commenting on this but laettner's career was on the lower end of expected outcomes.

ucla mightve considered preventing him from walking into that shot

he’s by far the most athletic guy on either team and he was going at full speed, they weren’t gonna stop him without putting him on the line

if any ucla player just makes suggs take a different line this shot gets so much more difficult

lol this whole thread so far and not a mention yet of Duke's best player, R.J. Barrett
granted, Zion is much better than i realized. it's insane that if he were in the NBA today, he'd be the second heaviest-listed player (behind Boban) at 6'7".

lol i was just searching for the explanation of why to take suggs over cade, which is tbf a much more defensible position than barrett over zion
― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 April 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
^ Seems like a big zing now, but even though everyone knew Zion was a shoo-in for first pick, but Barrett went pretty damned high, too, and that was well within the consensus about Barrett's NBA potential.

― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 April 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link
cade is gonna be the top pick bcuz he's a wing. i think suggs has a higher floor tho, there just aren't many guards who have his skillset. at the absolute worst he'd at least be avery bradley with better shooting if his offense just doesn't develop at all. cade will need his athleticism to show up more and i think there's some questions about how well he'll be able to score inside the arc, he's a very good shooter tho
i don't think it's true that cade doesn't care. i think the implication is that cade sometimes floats thru games, but it's more noticeable w/ him bcuz he isn't playing w/ anyone nearly as good as him. it's not really comparable to suggs who plays w/ a first team all american (kispert) and and a second team (timmie) and can have stretches of games where he has little impact but his team still kicks ass. i find it hard to watch cade put up 40 on the road vs OSU's rival ranked in the top 10 including taking like every shot in the final minute and blocking a shot and say he doesn't care

one of the things about college basketball culture is demonstrativeness and passion 4 tha game are completely conflated, when really a steady determined disposition like cades is prob more suited for nba success, tho obvs all sorts of personalities can work
― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 April 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
i dont think cade over suggs is any sort of "slam dunk" but cade just is a prototypical 2021 nba player, and hes really good, suggs is also very well cut out for the nba but doesnt quite have the positional flexibility everyone is looking for, hes a guard where cades a wing, however suggs could easily turn out to be the better player, or someone else, one of the g-league ignite© guys i mean

seems like a good year for tanking, rly wish the spurs had committed to the tank sooner, tho they are off to a great run of Ls lately
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 4 April 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link
great year to tank for sure, kinda funny the nbas anti tanking measures actually make it more profitable for teams who arent the absolute pits to tank, and if you are the pits might as well tank anyway right

There's no Timmy for the Spurs in this draft, but there is a Timme, eh?
― Judge Roi Behan (Aimless), Sunday, 4 April 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link
certainly my post about RJ vs. Zion looks pretty silly now, but in late November of 2018, it did not look nearly as silly. touche, though, i guess.
also, i didn't say Cade doesn't care, i said he looks like he doesn't care. which isn't fair; i don't know how much he cares. maybe instead i should've said i'd rather have an athletic, high-motor 6'4" guy who can play either guard position (i'm not worried about his jumper) than Cade. Cade's obviously very good and i could be way wrong.
admittedly, i am also a college basketball guy more than an NBA guy, and prob shouldn't be speculating about draft picks. i just like Suggs better as a player.
