Did not realize that 'zesty' was a negative trait. Live and learn.

His Zest per 36 (zp36) at Duke was .065. Anything over .051 is typically way too zesty to be anything more than a deep bench contributor. For instance Oubre is sitting at .052. Solid starter/great bench piece.

Damn, analytics certainly goes deep these days.

Dude, keep dropping these nuggets. I’m here for it all week because FA is bound to be depressing.

You know I'll do that and then we'll trade his ass for Ingram.

Yup. And then I will be irrationally upset over a 6’2 munchkin drafted at #16 being traded for an All-Star wing.

The Life of a Sixers fan.

For ****'s sake, why does the nail/TikTok thing matter, for real? He’s not hurting anybody, it has less than zero impact on his game, and he seems like a legitimately happy kid. Let the man live!

Man, it’s gonna get old fast watching people clutch their pearls over the fact that a 20 year old has an active Tik Tok account.

He's also considered a hard worker that improved over his year at Duke, so y'all telling on yourselves honestly complaining about his TikTok / social media / personality /fashion.

It's Philly man. If it were in Boston, it'd be the same thing. Both fanbases a teeming with insecure, angry people.

I'm hoping we're better than that. If McCain hits his threes and grabs some boards from the guard position, I think (hope) fans will embrace him.

Jaden Springer was not nearly as good as him lol. They are totally different players as well, so not sure about the comparison.

He's insistent on making the worst posts on this website today. Tough because bum is back, but he's keeping up.

I’m high on this kid. Little small but he can score on the second unit I think.

MoeGreene · Post #74 » by **MoeGreene** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:18 pm

Hey listen, it says as much about those who like the pick as those who don't. I definitely don't want to hang out with you.

Now, Jared, people are calling the guy Curry. Ok, sure, Mark Curry. Someone more focused on clowning around.

He's a backup maybe in the mold of Eric Gordon. Short and max peak at best a Gordon.. if he focuses on basketball and lets the childish stuff go.

Who here is really complaining about it? I've seen a couple of mentions, but I think you guys are overreacting a bit.

I don't do social media outside of this and a UT forum, so for me it's a complete non-issue that I only found out about here.

I guess it's a certain troll quota we have to meet. All season it was Ferry and Bum, and now Bum is back as MikRay along with Leon.

Putting the ick back in Sickers. Well done.

Unsurprising you don't know how to spell Sixers.
