Collins is freaking nasty. One of my favorites rookies this year. Going to be fun watching him for the next 10 years.

Anybody remember the Sopranos episode where Dr. Kuzamano got offended by Tony calling him the same nickname as Kuzma has?

New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

That's your takeaway from that play? Is the steal, no look alley oop pass just a little bit impressive? Pretty amazing in and of itself.

I understand Hield playing the minutes he did, but why did Brown and Tatum play so many minutes?

The whole thing is great. I just wanted to take the opportunity to rave about Collins. :lol:

Far more skilled and less athletic.


They actually pass every now and then.

I predict ntilikina to be out of the league once his rookie contract is up.

If dug up until 2010 and I found in each rising star game there is between 5 or 6 players that at some point I would call top-30 in the league.

Some exceptions (2014-2015) which featured players of really weak draft classes (2013-2014).

Which you think are the players that are likely to be this 6 players 7-8 years from now?
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Rising Stars game went pretty much like I expected. World team just had way more talent. World team’s bench unit wouldn’t be a terrible starting 5 in the NBA.

His defense isn't going to allow that to happen, he will find a spot on teams for that alone and by the time his rookie deal is up, he's going to be what? 22? 23?

I don't know if he's going to be a PG though which he was expected to be. But everybody knew he was going to be raw and that people would need to have patience and not have a ridiculous overreaction over someone's 1st 55 games or so.

he's got the tools but he's far too back in terms of skillset for a PG in the NBA.
