Watching Suns/Blazers it struck me that most of Jackson's turnovers are simply because he's not adjusted to NBA pace. He was just a hair out of sync and those passes will hit sooner rather than later. He's gonna be a crazy good facilitator.

i did whatever it took to get my rooks. people complaining about this "rookie scale" are just haters. the same ones that complained about it are the same people that overpaid for garbage players. so at the end of the day, they have no place to talk.

i agree on jackson's turnovers, he is just getting used to the game, like every rookie is right now. i expect frank to make the same mistakes as well when he comes back from his injury


I will say that other than Jackson, I wouldn't have splurged more than 200 for any individual rookie but I think you did it right getting a few. That gives you a bit of bust insurance and it's really deep class. Your total package (plus this year's rook) will likely be good value by Year 3 or so.

yep
if someone ends up busting i can even move players around in my lineup due to their versatility and also use this year's pick to make a decision on what i really need. so i'm in a good position right now

year 3/4 is when i really start to make major adjustments to my roster to make that final step to being a contender. i should have a good idea by then to see who is going to be a key to a contending team and who is not.

Aaron Gordon hype train at full steam ahead

Aaron Gordon went off yet again on Friday with 21 points, seven rebounds, three 3-pointers against the Cavs on Friday.
The Aaron Gordon hype train is going so fast the Magic's jersey sponsor, Disney, may have to cast Keenu Reeves for another Speed movie. Gordon spent a lot of time with a sports psychology company called Lucid, and maybe that's part of the reason he's had such confidence in his jumper. Even with all the hype last month, he's gone off in each of the last four games and the Magic broadcast said AG could "easily" score 22 per game after putting up 12.7 points per game last year. We're buying and he's now moved into the early-round territory of competitive leagues.

Oh yeah... 19/7/5 in 18 MINUTES for Ben Simmons. Mans is a battering ram attacking the rim. If he can stay at 70-75% from the line, he's going to get his points at the line.


Ben's final pre-season per 36

Per 36: 18.0 PTS (49 FG%), 9.8 REB, 8.5 AST, 2.2 STL and 1.3 BLK.

Andre Drummond with a statement game to close out a terrific preseason.

18 points, 23 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block. And perhaps most importantly he's shot 85% from the line this preseason. Would have possibly had a shot at a triple double yesterday if his teammates had made a couple more shots he's set them up for.

Looks like the 2015-2016 Drummond may be back now that he can breathe out of both nostrils. Also may be playing with a chip on his shoulders from the criticism he's been getting,

Mos def. has some really nice potential. So quick and shifty and can drop dimes too. How did the Clippers even get him, I don't remember them even having a draft pick going into the draft?

He went early round 2. Typical NBA scouts diminishing a player's potential due to lack of size, despite being a monster at Oklahoma State. He was my guy in the draft thread all year.

It's so silly to do that especially nowadays with so many teams using small ball. I don't care what height you are, if you can ball then you can ball, it's that simple! Plus, he's like CP3/Lowry/Kemba size. I was leaning more towards Frank Mason III but man Evans is looking like a baller

Wanna trade? :D :lol:

Did he play last night? There was another dude who was on the floor and kinda looked like him and I kept thinking it was him but it wasn't. I was so tired so I ended up falling asleep while watching but it kinda seems like the Clipps got a bunch of guard/forwards so it could be tough for him to see much burn this year

Where do I sign myself as a free agent?
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Return to New York Knicks
