Also they messed up the tank now. What is EG thinking with this? Now the wiz may miss on Noel... Or Ben....

Who says they won't tank next year too?



Next season will see tanking not seen since Lebron. Wiggins is the most hyped propsect since Lebron. Additionally, Parker and the Harrison twins, etc., next draft is LOADED. The Bobcats, Magic, etc. will show how tanking is done.

everyone is hyping Wiggins again alot lately but I thought like a month ago I was reading about him not taking off like the experts thought he would. They try to put it on that he's not getting up for people because he has no competition but I dont buy stuff like that. If he's really the next Lebron then he should be dominant on the HS level at all times

Wall had absolutely no help this game. He was the only one trying on the offensive and defensive ends. His shooting percentages fell when he was exhausted and had to do too much, and he setup the offense very well the whole game. The two assists was a product of teammates missing shots or getting fouled and not finishing. But Wall played very well.

I don't mind the number of shot attempts by Wall at all. There was no single player on the active roster today capable of creating or getting their own shot. This game exemplified Ernie's failings. We were beaten by a team consisting of mid first rd picks, second rounders, and players off waivers. Outside of Wall, our rookie çontract players looked terrible and contributed nothing.

ok, thats good because I question a guy who's motor isnt always on 100. However, the overall score of the game leads me to believe he was maybe playing against the lil sisters of the poor. Id like to see what he's done since then

This x100 I follow as many HS games and top 100 players as much as I can but nothing against Wiggins and Parker but Aaron Gordon and Julius Randle are going to dominate in college. Gordon's motor never stops and Randle possesses the high character, high motor leadership roles on the court. Also both guys are extremely versatile

IDK guys, the comp for Gordon seemed way too weak for me to judge. All HS highlights are against smaller guys and weaker comp but his vidz were the weakest of the weak. Looked like all 5'10 preppy kids with no muscle....lol

If I recall, he played the Harrison Twins, Montverde, Reno, and a few other top 10 teams and dominated!!!

well I will say this. He had a very high motor and if you have that then youre already a plus 10 in my book. That will take you far. Then he's a physical freak but he doesnt get by on it. You can tell he plays hard even though he already has you beat by being a physical freak. Then he has that angry forceful look & play to everything he does. Again, all that stuff are huge advantages because most top players are just all skill and are laid back. If you have that extra motor & aggression then its a big advantage
