OG + Scottie Barnes is a nice combo for the Raps. Maybe Philly should just tank this year.

One thing I thought stood out was their length. Even at the guards, all their players are long and athletic"

Oh really Doc. Lose your 6'10" PG and it just hits you that size may be an issue.

Been saying stuff like that all camp. Counter to what you may want to believe everyone in that organization is acutely aware that Simmons just not showing up obviously makes them a worse team. If anything it's a built in excuse.

that would at least help bolster my waning interest in this franchise.

You don't think he could've paid cash considering he's made millions already without even adding his off court deals.

He would have paid cash

Endorsement money is insane

His Wimbledon trip was paid for by Ralph Lauren and that’s potentially a lazy million to spend the weekend with his gf

We will see how long his Endorsements last when not playing.

Point F that can't shoot. Was terrible at Nebraska.

He's actually a 6'9" PG, that Toronto projects as being able to play 1,2 and 3.

He has a very good handle, is a little too pass happy, and is excellent at dictating pace. He has improved tremendously even since summer league, both at the Vegas runs with other teammates, and through team skill development.

Is he available for Ben straight up, or would we have to add picks?

Glad someone around here has the guts to tell Knobblehead what's what

Dont be too trigger happy. I think we can get Anthony Edwards and 2 first rounders for Ben after his preseason game

Let us be real, though, if we ever draft a prospect like that (guys that can't shoot) ever again, we should collectively be out on the franchise.

Toronto's development is second to none. They said the same thing about OG and Boucher and many others. Can't shoot at all. Now they take an make huge shots. Barnes shot already looks completely different from Summer League, nevermind college. He'll be a good enough 3 point shooter to force teams to play him

I don't know what you're watching then.

OG shot 31% on less than 3 attemps in college... and people said he was just a defensive guy

Last year OG was 40% from 3 on 6 attempts per game with a completely rebuilt shot.

Barnes stroke is already completely different

Who cares about Toronto?

The Sixers have the opposite track record of developing shooting, which is all I care about. I never want to take another non-shooter because we've struck out on like 10 straight prospects.
