Does Norman Powell count?

DDV seems to be doing pretty good... for the Knicks.

Cam Payne played 36 minutes for the Sixers tonight?

Had to start because they were down some guards. Put up 20 in a loss.

Sacramento might hate Denver more than Giannis hates Mike Dunleavy

Huerter too.

DiVincenzo was fair value for a mid first round pick.

His main problem here was injuries, was always awesome.

I mean this feels pretty revisionist. It was a meme here of whether he’d ever score 20 in a game. He’s currently averaging 23/4/3 over a 10 game stretch with the second most shots on the team. He’s definitely on another level we never saw.

This is his Linsanity moment, Donte Divinsanity if you will.

The point is, if he stayed on the court, he'd get the confidence to put it through the net. They'd have paid him on his second deal.

Instead he had multiple injuries. Riding around on a scooter while Tucker & Forbes started in his place winning the Chip.

He showed the potential & his d was always there.

Yeah, he couldn't hit a layup. Neither could Jrue.

Its revionist, if you didn't see the potential. But some of us did & never wanted to trade him.

If we're talking about Bucks draft picks, Sam Merrill is averaging 8 ppg while 44% from 3 on a good team.

It takes patience with non lottery picks. Marjon and AJJ will be players too, hopefully we show the patience so they do it here.

No better example of the patience needed than Kuminga. He was considered a bust, and anyone could have landed him on the cheap in the offseason. Now he's a budding superstar.

At his very best here, he was a mediocre shooter who couldn’t finish at all. I can’t believe my eyes when I see what he’s been putting up lately.

Still would’ve traded him, it was too late when we decided too. I would bet good money on him being injured for any important playoff series.

I mean, this is Donte’s 4th team in 3 years. I think we all always liked him but he was constantly injured and I think we were going to wrecked by his agent who had guys like hollinger projecting him to get 20 mil a year. I think both the kings and warriors would also love this version of donte too.

The Warriors would have loved to keep him, but he got paid more than they could offer.
