Killing not Killian

Jalen Green creates crazy separation. Like proper social distancing separation. That's a skill that will help him transition to the NBA.

It's the pistons.

You know normally I’d agree. But it’s also OKC who lost their star rookie after 5 minutes. They’re literally losing to Theo Maledon

With all due respect to Killian Hayes, Theo Maledon was rather highly regarded coming out of France as well.

Cade and Mobley both debuted with a worse shooting performance than Barnes who’s main weakness coming into the draft was his shot. Funny how things work sometimes lol

Barnes also did way more things apart from scoring the ball

Yes, it’s just 1 game but it’s pretty exciting to see what Barnes can become

Would Andre Iguadola be the best comparison to Barnes right now?

It's still super early. Everyone was so worried and concerned with LeMelo Ball early on in the season cuz he was shooting poorly and keep turning it over. Every Raptors fans were saying how Flynn is better than Ball. Cunningham is a top prospect for a reason. he will figure it out as the season goes on and we'll be talking ROTY.

No doubt, but i'ma still get these jokes/narratives off.

I see Barnes being a great second in command to the team. Now if the Raps can draft or land a superstar or elite talent they could really take off in the next few years. Pascal can revert back to being the number 3 guy which suits his role.

Let’s see where management pivots towards this season. I agree with your sentiment and with Siakam not coming back until December it gives the team a perfect excuse to focus on development over winning. Then next offseason we draft that elite shot creator that this team sorely needs (Hardy/Banchero types).

tough first game for Cade. Turnovers something to keep an eye on

My fear is our team is too good to tank. We'll probably be the best defensive team in the league and surrounding Barnes with shooters might lead to some wins.

The guy is gonna have the ball in his hands the majority of the time. Turnovers are going to happen.

Defense also something to keep an eye on. His defense hasn't impressed me tbh.

Cade can't be sharing the ball handling responsibility with Hayes. That's just weird. We know Cade does the most damage when he is the primary decision maker on the ball...why is Hayes still bringing the ball up? Hayes is useless!

Looks like Barnes had the best overall game of the top 4 picks. 8-)

Hayes 'bout to get the Dennis Smith Jr. treatment in Dallas once Luka was drafted.

When it comes to ADOBE, I have stopped asking questions, or even formulating questions. Just accept the pictures for what they are :lol:
