Very cool. I had never even heard of him lol. I mean I've literally seen him play like one quarter of basketball, but its like when I show up to a new pickup game. You can just tell usually in a couple minutes who can really play. And this guy by my novice eye test sure looks like an NBA player.

Me too. Kid just looks like he's a basketball player. Here's hoping he's Marquis Daniels 2.0.

Going to stroke my own ego here, I loved Hinton pre-draft.

He fits our team so well, he's got that Jimmy Butler attitude...I really think his upside is the best perimeter defender in the league. With the success of Lu Dort and Terence Davis, I don't know how he is being overlooked.

Watch on YouTube

I know I'll be wrong on guys, but I'd like to be right on Hinton because he plays so hard, and I love that, it's so entertaining.

We have a few people (including me) on the Celtics board who wanted Hinton at #47. No idea why this guy wasn't drafted.

Patrick Williams Had a decent first game

12 in 25 minutes. Decent moves.

Cole Anthony looked pretty good as well. maybe this draft class isn’t half bad after all. So far quite a few performances to be optimistic about.

LaMelo having a good start to this game

I think most draft experts thought this class was very deep, it just didn't have a clear top end talent (to me, Okoro was the closest to that b/c he is one skill away and his jumper didn't look absolutely broken like Ball's).

Since Lamelo finally hit a shot, I’m going to go buy me a pair of Big Baller shoes :onfire:

LaMelo doing pretty good for a guy that can't shoot. Hope you're hungry, there's going to be a lot of crow.

LaMelo would have 10 assists if he had a rim runner. Zeller and Biyombo have fumbled/got blocked/got fouled on some great passes

Also his defense has been pretty good so far. He's good at getting in passing lanes and deflecting passes

No NCAA Tournament because of COVID-19. The Aztecs, led by Flynn, would've made a lot of noise in March.
Raptors got blessed.

In 2 games 22% from three, 20% from field. Thoroughly outplayed by Flynn in both games.

Everything seems in line. :dontknow:

Ball got bodied by Flynn in this 2 game series

Flynn played a lot better than Ball the first 2 back to back matchup.....

...but i am impressed with the young kids passing..just has a good feel for the game from a passing prespective

the 22 year old 0 ceiling shooter scored more points in preseason than the 19 year old floor general
