What about Love with 8 threes against Portland in 2017?


yea something flawed about that list. Dirk had 8 threes too, Rasheed wallace had 7. There are surely more. It's still very impressive
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

In the Basketball-Reference filter I applied C/C-F/F-C. Kevin Love and Dirk show up if I add F, but then it adds a **** ton of guys who aren't bigs. Here's the full list with F's:

I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

It's only SL but this comes as no surprise to me that Jackson was the best player on the floor and also that Young has bust written all over him

He’s showing some serious potential out there this summer. Crazy high ceiling

I'm really liking him but honestly the top players in this draft have all looked pretty good. This may turn out to be a very solid class.

But this is a nice play by JJJ: http://kwese.espn.com/video/clip?id=24100206

For me he was my #1 pick. His shot blocking, timing, shot altering, laterals, recovery, etc., it's sublime. Anthony Davis, KG, Charlotte Mourning stuff. Can hit 3's, pass, finish, face guys up. Sky's the limit for this kid and his ceiling is an slightly above average starter who can fit in any lineup, stay on the floor in any situation and be low usage.

The variable will be if he can expand his offensive game but his floor is looking like Serge Ibaka which would be about par for his pick.

Ibaka as floor is what I've been saying. But I think he's way more likely to be great

Did you continue watching Trae after July 3? :lol:
