It's Jaylen Brown slandering season.

But yeah, after that little clip of his left handed 'dribble', I take back anything I've ever said about Oscar/West/etc needing some time to adapt to current ballhandling. Those dudes could hop out of the time and have a massively better handle than Brown the second they arrived.

Western Conference Seeding predictions?

Having a really hard time, I do think Houston and OKC will win more games than people expect

Its a combination of various mutli-year advanced stats. One limitation of the projections is that it struggles to deal with very young players who were bad in the past three years (it deals with great young players fine which is why it likes the Jazz a lot)

Reading Giannis talk a bit about the relationship with Dame this early...

I know his comments after they got eliminated last year rubbed some people the wrong way, but he's got to have one of the best mentalities for a star player in the league today

Being super competitive but without an ego is about the best thing you can ask for

MrLurker · Post #475 » by **MrLurker** » Tue Oct 10, 2023 2:59 am

Sad to move on from Dame - and the way it ended was unfortunate - but I feel optimistic with what we've acquired.

Not sure if this is the thread to ask this but what sites are avatars allowed from? I keep getting red text saying the website isn't an allowed site whenever I try to upload an image

Really impressed with Wemby. Very cognizant to not jump the gun and to conclusions after one half of play (not even regular season, at that) - but he looks very good ITO functional athleticism on-court. Seems like all of the offseason training (supposedly) could be paying off, where now I feel better regarding his durability

DPM, EPM, LEBRON, RAPTOR, 3 Year LA RAPM, BPM, and RPM. DPM+EPM+LEBRON get 2x as much weight as RAPTOR+RAPM+BPM. RPM gets very very little weight

What are some benchmarks for Wemby that he should hit by the end of his sophomore year? Top 30 player in the league? Elite defender at least?
