That’s all the information I’m releasing here.


If people are gonna call me out when I’m not posting here anymore (or way way way less), can y’all at least quote me? Easier to respond.


YO...DON'T FUQ WITH MY MAN KT/FOE!! Dude puts in work with his breakdowns!! Why you tripping Arrow? :curse:


:lol: I just remembered people trashing issac calling him trash. I thought kt was one of them.

Looking back though he never really trashed him. He just really had a problem with his frame and his true position.

I missed on this one.


Mags hated Isaac :lol:

This draft is looking mighty deep, at least for players that will be starting caliber NBA players (or 6th man types) for the next 10 years. Most years, you only end up with a handful of those types and the rest never pan out. I think this season may end up being considered one of the deepest of all time which is pretty crazy.

You're starting to see who are likely day 1 starters for their teams as rookies. I'm still on the fence about Bamba, Sexton and Young. I could see all three of them coming off the bench to be honest. Feel free to add your own list

My current list looks like this:

1. Ayton
2. Knox
3. Bagley
4. Carter

The Isaac hate was misplaced. Mostly, he was a bad fit which is what KT was getting at. KP needs more rebounding next to him in the front line.

Unfortunately, the Magic have a forward conundrum with Gordon, who is also a PF imo.

I get that the Clippers may be playing for something but SGA could start.

It's a whole sports science on him torching defenders, He attacks the knees of his defenders that it makes bigger players become off balanced and they can't react due to how low to the ground and how strong he is. Young Boy a Problem.

It very interesting watching his highlight clips. He may not be in the top 5-10% in the league athletically, but he displays a very mature controlled aggression that allows him to play off the physicality of others. It's very martial artistic.

He pushes hard, but not recklessly which is not particularly easy for most players. If his handle develops even more, he'll be able to mix up his pace even more and do some Steve Nash paint navigating.

He looks like a solid player. He was one of the guys I asked about pre-draft because he seemed intriguing, but almost everyone was nah. Not saying I don't love our pick, but perhaps my instincts in Sexton's case were decent.

Yeah, I didn't agreed with that at all. It was me and a few others that were ProSexton.
Some just didn't see the fit on the Knicks with A Forward being a need, Understood that approach.
Those who saying he will be a bust are highly mistaken.

People still sh*ttin on him here. They'll soon see.

Miles Bridges is looking good. Nothing special but playing well. Mikal has looked pretty pedestrian.

There was a boatload of dumb garbage said about Willy on this board

I get that people may have had a beef for him being out of shape, i.e. not wanting it or being unprofessional and perhaps that was warranted, but ............

he was always talented and had incredibly good post/pivot moves and people typically wrote him off as trash which was pure stupidity, because it was never a talent issue. It was a will and desire issue. I hope he does well
