He’s so good. And his confidence is off the charts.

Anyone watch Portland at this year? I see Scoot has had another rough start and was wondering how he looked.

Haven't seen him. But the shooting and A/T ratio is still horrendous. The two biggest criticisms.

Only 20 but hopefully there's some development there

I thought it was Sharpe.

Sharpe and Mathurin would have been good consolation prizes if we missed out on the top 4.

Gotta be honest here.

Our trajectory with Sharpe or Mathurin instead of Dick is almost no different at all. I am not convinced Dick is not the best player of the bunch. (or rather, won't be in 3-4 years)

Edit: I am big dumb. Wrong draft :lol:
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Can anyone speak to why GSW in a 3 point loss playing all their starters under 30 minutes?

Curry got injured in the 3Q and left the game early I believe.

Draymond is old and not that great anymore.

Wiggins played his 30 mins.

They have good bench depth with Heild, Pod, Moody, Looney etc, but the starters beyond Curry aren't that great and aren't really deserving of big minutes, unless a guy like Kuminga is going off.

Wiggins played 29 minutes, despite going 11/55 from the field, and played only 75 seconds more than Hield who went 3/14 and is not exactly a plus defender.

Masterclass in stupid coaching decisions. Just brainnumbingly stupid to play 11 guys all 10+ minutes, and Kyle Anderson for 3 random minutes, but not play your top guys more than 20-29mpg.

I like the comparison even though the draft years are different. Shaedon has the best raw physical ability of the three, and he looks special at times. Problem is he’s injury prone. He’s 2 years younger than Mathurin and 1 year younger than Gradey. I would love to have him on our team. Mathurin is the more polished player between him and Dick. Most teams would take Mathurin, but I agree with you that Dick ain’t no slouch and could be an amazing player one day. Mathurin would probably have a much bigger role if he were on our team and would be putting up solid numbers.

Anthony Davis is playing amazing. I thought this Lakers team would struggle, but they are playing really well together.

Mogbo impactful as hell. Missi looked pretty good too. future double double center imo. Not sure if he was in consideration for our pick.
