Not the same. San Antonio already had stars before they tanked for Duncan. They held stars out with fake injuries to get more stars.

Oh, I thought we were playing dumb when you asked who is our star player.

Nope, just dumb that you think Joel Embiid is a top 5 player

In the Toronto series, the Sixers were plus 109 with Embiid in the lineup and -200 with him out. Top 5 or not, that's good enough for me. Oh, he's still getting better too.

It’s a shame. Cause Vancouver likely stays in Vancouver with Tim Duncan had the nba had the stupid no first overall pick the first 3 seasons.

You get a cheap player for multiple years with the possibility of becoming a star. Matisse Thybulle's ceiling is better shooting Andre Roberson. That's not a star. That's someone you can pick up in free agency.

I'd kill for a better shooting Andre Roberson. That dude is a major defensive menace.

Yeah a Roberson who can hit an open 3 and doesn't brick his free throws is a significant positive difference maker. Hope that is what we get with Thybulle.

We were fools. It was Matisse the whole time.

Roberson was an elite rebounder coming into the league and kind of a tweener....he was literally a double double machine.Thybulle is more of a ball hawking wing compared to Roberson, and his shot is much better coming into the NBA.

Thybulle is tough to compare because his defensive #'s were so elite (steals and blocks) and his offensive game is kind of an unknown.

Id say his ceiling is probably somewhere in the realm of a Spurs Danny Green or a ball hawking Thabo Sefolosha.

Defensively, he looks more like Roco that his man may drop 30-40 but he’ll be a plus defender by those deflection numbers.

Scouting report also say that he doesnt go for the boards, but i dont think its a big issue when we have multiple guys who likes to go for the boards.
