Glad they will but think ShazAM made more sense.

Catch phrase and his initials. But maybe it'd be seen as too distracting to the league...I dunno

That's huge and it makes me feel more comfortable with Nurkic as our starting C.

I can’t believe yet that we got Tyus Jones IN HIS PRIME for the minimum.

If Nurk can hit 3's in the high 30%'s, that changes everything about this team. Even tougher to guard. Also, would make him more tradeable if needed

Yeah, I figured he would. Brook Lopez didn't shoot a ton of 3s before playing under him in Milwaukee.

If our C is asked to take more 3s then everybody will be taking more 3s this season. Sounds like Bud will implement a motion offense and make this team fun again.

Well it also opens up driving to the rim without a C in there to clog it up. So Tyus could drive and dish.

Hi, people.

What sticks to me from this Media Day could be like:

-Let's shoot more threes! You too, Yusuf!
Me?
-Can you spot any different guy named Yusuf around here?
(Untranslatable Bosnian muttering)

Roles yet defined saving unexpected issues.

Tyus enters starting PG, Mini-Hulk Graymond goes to the bench and everybody looks happy.

Devs & Kevs looked relaxed but pretty serious... not many giggles.

Good, now let me see them do it. The previous coach also asked, begged, prayed, shouted then finally threw a tantrum. Boys kept shooting their beloved "middy".

High 30s would be amazing but Brook averaged just over 35% during his time in Milwaukee. I think mid-30's should be the goal and anything move than that is the cherry on top. His last season in Portland had him shooting 36% on low volume but if he could double the attempts and keep the same percentage, we're going to be good.

Totally. Enough for defenders to stop sagging off on him when he's outside the arc.

Yeah, 35% shooting over 3 attempts per game is probably the magic number to be considered a real threat from the 3p line.
