This is from a scout whos team has a lottery pick and likes Culver much more than Barrett:
On offense, I've gotta use RJ as my primary ball handler. Otherwise, how is he a threat? Nobody is scared of him off ball. On D, his awareness and effort is poor and his footwork is terrible.
Meanwhile...
Supposedly the Morant-Barrett 2-3 after Zion isnt as clear as we think it is. Fans like those guys more than teams do.
Teams seem to really like Culver.
Could all be misdirection of course.
Lol I never promised that. I said it was the most likely, and if a deal was made with Boston then Tatum would be involved. That was back when the Pelicans were under different management. I still think Boston is the favorite though, with probably Brooklyn coming in 2nd.
Lakers are still a...
AD isnt a number one guy. I dont think thats a knock on him necessarily, I just think you win on the perimeter this day and age in the NBA. But he wouldnt have to be the #1 guy. Hell he wouldnt even have to be the #2 if things fall right. In that playoff series last year Jrue led that team...
I think theyve done a great job rebuilding the franchise. I legitimately think they will have gone from a bottom 10 front office to a top 10ish front office by the time next season starts.
But with all that said, I think the odds are still against them. This isnt a league small markets can...
Its a blurry line. Is Lillard a superstar or a star?
I don't necessarily think he's a superstar, but I think he's a little better than a star as well. It's somewhere in the middle.
What constitutes a star? I think Steph is a "superstar." Harden is a "superstar." I think that's easy to define. But that line between just a good player and a star is an interesting discussion. What is Kyrie? Kemba? Russell? Conley?
Beal, Derozan, Booker, Butler? I'm serious when I...
This board has always had a huge issue with not living in the current time. It took the majority of this board 2-3 years to realize Deron Williams was trash, and there are countless other examples.
Jrue of 5 years ago wasnt a star, but this current Jrue absolutely is. There were only two...
Bosox has been delusional throughout this entire thing Mexi. Dont mind him. Waste of time.
Keep putting words in my mouth though bosox. Its making you look like an even bigger moron. Ive mentioned 2 or 3 times the point is about quantity and depth. Not once have I ever said youre judging...
Like I said earlier, Denver, Milwaukee, and Toronto are the argument for going potential and quantity over less quantity but a top flight guy.
Tatum has already proven hes not about playing behind guys. How would he react to taking a back seat to Jrue Holiday and more importantly, an 18 year...
