Who will be the first sub when Franz comes out? Ingles? harris?


Ingles. And it is an easy choice.

Suggs on a mission this year


Suggs and Isaac are two players that could really surprise this season. I am fully routing for Suggs to win the starting SG slot.

Fultz’ long range shot finally looks great. He’s shooting it with confidence too.

And I’m 100% in on the Suggs bandwagon. I keep saying it but he still has star potential IMO. That defense and energy is infectious. If his shot is falling (and we stay healthy), we’re making the playoffs.

Might be the best I've ever seen him shoot from an aesthetic point of view.

Don't care that I'm spamming... this brings a smile to my face. Happy for Fultz.

The arc-height of Isaac's three is so high that misses will lead to slow, long rebounds. Perhaps many will lead to offensive rebounds.

It would be interesting to track offensive rebounding rates relative to a given-player's misses.

Isaac and Black have really odd shot wind ups…maybe too many moving parts. Suggs always looks clean and confident- they just need to keep going in and he’ll be a star.

Fultz looks really easy, clean & confident too! That would be an amazing development. That’s a hell of a starting backcourt in theory (to go with a hell of a starting frontcourt & some really promising depth this year in Ingles, Isaac, Harris & rooks)

Just to further qualify my rep as a Fultz ‘hater’…I really think he might get there…but, imo and maybe FO’s(?)…it’s right now or never. He’s either $22m extension or traded for parts, largely dependent on his early season shooting

He’s looks like he shrinks down to 6’3 when he shoots. His body gets all compact. I do like his game but he takes zero advantage of his height when shooting jumpers. It needs work.

I love to see the work ethic, but his stance is way too wide. Number 1 on their list should be to fix that IMO, but im not a shooting coach so wtf do i know.

At the end of the day is just about making them, I'd say he just needs more lift in his shot rather than stance stuff

Ingles form is super funky but he makes it so it's kind of just about touch and repetition and ability to get it off
