I don’t care about his scoring as crazy as he can get buckets….its the passing man…it’s the passing.

Before I traded my pick for Jamal Murray I was really thinking about drafting Haliburton. His passing ability had me thinking he could be one of the best PGs in the league one day. Idk if I would’ve still ended up with chips but Haliburton with Tatum and Bam will always be one of my biggest what IFs in this game

OBSERVATIONS
• Miami upsets Brooklyn. There is no longer any undefeated team in BaF
• Surprisingly, New Orleans and Dallas continue to lose
• The New York Knicks are for real, as they sweep a home & home back-to-back over the Cleveland Cavaliers
• Warriors and Clippers are looking formidable out West
• Chicago is standing on business over here in the East

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread
We started the season 0-2, and have now won 4 in a row, including wins against some similarly-projected teams like last night's 24 point win over the Pacers. We also didn't have Mathurin for last night's game. Jordan Poole stepped up in his absence, playing 40 minutes, getting 22 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 steals. Chet nearly fouled out in 12 minutes of action matched up with KAT, but KAT was limited to 10 points on the night so I suppose it's worth it. Kessler added 12 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks. As a team we continue to have phenomenal percentages, especially from deep (40% last night). Kenrich Williams played 31 minutes when scheduled for 8 which is funny. Was trying to get Kenrich, Osman, and McDermott to play even minutes to compare their production, but the SIM said nahhhhh

Gotta find a way for him to shoot inside more. He only shot 33% above the 3 last year and that's where he's shooting most of his shots. Having 2 bigs might be hurting him.

he shot 35% last year from 3 which isn't terrible so idk... but maybe it's time to break apart the ayton x bam front court

The 35% was overall and kind of misleading. the sim breaks it down to the type of shot. I don’t know the exact number but if I had to estimate about 90% of his shots came from above the break which is 33% and the other 10% came from the corner where he shot close to 46%.
