I'm a big JJ stan but I'm worried about his defense without fouling. He's still young obviously, but at some point you'd want to see some improvement. I'm glad he's not asked to create his own offense with Morant on the team so he can develope the right way.

My main issue with him is his rebounding. It is terrible and not in a boxing out for other players like a Lopii kind of way.

I like JJJ but I'm not sure I've seen him anticipate a play ever. On D he's reacting and on offence he's got moves but he's not putting them on dudes in reaction to their positioning, everything is pre-planned. Like Harrison Barnes with a better physical profile.

His potential is through the roof but yeah, he's a terrible rebounder for a guy with his size and athleticism, and I'm not sure how much you can fix that. Not sure you can go small with him and not get killed on the boards.

Bubble ball is fantastic. I hope they do a shortened season and bubble again next year if no vaccine.

How does AD get the calls that he gets?

Got all the Durant/Kevin Martin moves. Elite flail and falling dude.

Yeah Kevin Martin is to blame for all this ****, an untalented guy that figured out how to score 18 a game and get paid...POS...
Him or maybe Set Shot Buford.

Dude is 6'11 and 250 lbs. Blame the refs for getting baited into falling for his flailing schtick every time.

He hit 9 threes against the Bucks. There is nothing wrong with his stroke given that he's 6'11".



Yea, I know, I said look at the results are good. You're telling me that's not an odd form though? If it goes in keep doing it of course. But when you see the stats and such and then watch live you're expecting to see a money form, instead it's that. For a big guy, I wouldn't mess with it. You accomplish the spacing as is and if someone rushes you you can go by since he's mobile enough too.

Comparing the whistle between AD and Giannis is embarrassing. You're rewarding the flopper instead of the guy doing it the right way. Plus frankly Giannis just drives/attacks harder, more often, and takes way more contact. IDK what the Bucks can do about it, maybe someone with a bunch of time can put together a ton of video of the two and show it to the league and try to get ahead of it before a possible finals matchup.

Don't think it's a coincidence that AD is averaging the highest FTA rate of his career despite puzzlingly taking less shots at the rim and inside the 3PT arc (all below his career averages). The LA-Bron "bump" is real.

Giannis has to learn to flop to get the calls he deserves.
