Just the fact that everybody we put out there is committed to doing their best defensively and has a generally good grasp of their responsibilities is huge. Then on top of that you have Bled and Giannis, two tremendously disruptive players.

Still one of the funniest NBA skirmishes of all time. Security and players on both teams trying to hold back laughter. Bender and Giannis's boy Papagiannis have some odd longstanding Euro beef that included Papagiannis's Papa talking **** about Bender leading up to the 2016 draft.

Papagiannis is the most indefensible draft pick of the last decade.

Good gamble. Low risk with a potential high reward if he shows progress. Just give him a role and what the team expects from him and see if you can get any positive contributions. He's still only 21 years old. The Suns can't develop players for sh*t

It's even worse. They had #8 and traded back (though got very solid value for it). You can give the Kings the benefit of the doubt and say they targeted Bogdanovic or they hoped someone else would fall to #13 but most likely they targeted Papa.

Only because Joe Alexander was drafted in 2008.

The Suns shouldnt have given up on him. He was too young to match it with men.
The Bucks still need to be patient, but Bender definitely showed progress last year.
Bender is a basketball player - he isnt just a tall bloke,
He also has some lateral movement and natural shooting ability.
Will play more than Pau!!!
Low risk signing

I competed for a girl named Emmy in high school and won. If you count getting herpes as winning.
Is this an allegory for how you will become a major sellout when you win your Emmy?

We’ll have to do a “Bold Predictions for 2019-2020” thread soon. Mine is Bender plays 15mpg and hits 3s at a 37% clip.

That's what I was going to say. But that time span still includes Anthony Bennett and Thon.

If that happens we're gonna regret not getting a three year deal (was that possible?).

Only possible if you sign him on day 1 (cause you need cap space/MLE/tax MLE to sign for more than 2 years) and I doubt Bender would be ready to commit to that this early.

We'll be doing the annual prediction thread a week or so before the season begins
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

So, you're predicting Giannis is injured and we're tanking?

This is why I got so excited about DJ maybe being a thing. I want to see what we can with an athlete next to Giannis who doesn't have to retreat on every pick and roll.
But then we got excited about Thon, which is not OK

Hey now! Using that combination of words in that order should be a one week ban!

I'm already looking ahead to the 2021 offseason when we're debating whether to give Bender 3/30 or "lose him for nothing"
