deeps6x wrote:The 16th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft, Sengun is averaging 21 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5 assists on 53% shooting. He's one of five players with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists this season, along with Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dallas' Luka Doncic, Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis and Denver's Nikola Jokic.

Sengun scored a career-high 45 points against the San Antonio Spurs last week, becoming the fifth player all-time with 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 steals in a game.

We need to find our own Sengun type player with the Indy pick. Or our own pick if we manage to hang on to it.

Barnes is 6 rebounds shy of being part of that group, and would definitely be there if he played 3 more games, to equal Sengun's 63.

K-Mart was a star. Third best player, and best front court player on a team that made multiple finals.

17 10 and stocks, all defense. He was like his eras Bam/JJJ. Very dependent on his athleticism, which went early Blake Griffin-esque.

That's pretty generous giving him the star label. He had that type of production for like maybe 2 seasons before becoming a 12 and 6 guy.

What happens if he doesn’t wreck his leg twice?

Every draft has stars.

Playing the What If game seems kind of pointless. What if Ben Simmons developed a jumper, didn't have a mental breakdown and didn't hurt his back? We are counting Ben Simmons as a star as well if we have such a loose label and definition. If the threshold is that low, then yeah every draft will have a star in it.

That's fair. So we can agree every draft except 1 has stars lol

I think the better what if for Simmons is what if he enjoyed playing basketball? I don't think he ever did.

Why does every team suddenly suck once they play the Pacers?

Jalen Williams is out for OKC. But the Pacers have been on a tear. Mathurin seemed to help them in the game against us, but his absence sure hasn't slowed them out.

...im sorry I'll just tune out - OKC hasn't made a bucket since I started watching lmfao

Both Grizzlies and Thunder are about to let us down...

Memphis will pull through

Last two Pacers win are disappointing. I hope Indiana is not pulling a winning streak. Our Pacers pick can move from 15 to over 20 very quickly .

As for Memphis i was hoping for Memphis win hoping we can catch up Memphis.

But at the end of day, the ping pong ball will have the last laugh.

Det pick looking closer to 32 than 31 nowadays.

Next game is almost a must lose game for Indiana. I really fear a winning streak can hurt our chances at the draft.

On a side note, NBA draft lottery is exactly two months away.

Indy has the 6th seed locked up, might even be able to move up to 4th. I don't know how long Randle is out for, although with OG back, the Knicks should get back to winning regardless. Orlando goes on runs of being terrible, so they're always a threat to drop in the standings. No chance any of the play-in teams overtake them. Philly is a 15-win team without Embiid. Miami is washed. Chicago and Atlanta... lol.

I can see Indiana moving up. That 4 game road trip is going to be critical.

How many more games does Haliburton need to reach the 65 games? He will rest the remaining games before the playoffs.

He can only miss 4 more games.
