Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V1.0

[UnbelievablyRAW]

That one stat about every single 6'6+ player with a 7'2+ wingspan drafted the last 6-8 years being a starter or star was eye opening (CMB is also on that list so we'll see how he pops)

This cant be right. I just clicked a random year and found Paul Reed - 6'8" 7'2" wingspan. Xavier Tillman 6'7 7'2" wingspan.

The List:

Pascal Siakam

OG Anunoby

Mikal Bridges

PJ Washington

Rui Hachimura

Scottie Barnes

Jalen Williams

Tari Eason

Bilal Coulibaly

Jarace Walker

TBD on those last two, but the hit rate is INSANE.

So, who will meet the criteria this year?

Cedric Coward

Rasheer Fleming

Technically CMB meets the criteria if you want to call him a wing/forward vs a big

Not that this hurts the case, but they don’t even have Ingram on here. Which makes me question the completeness of the list haha

Lmao true, although like you said it still adds to the case

The Bucks are getting better production out of Ryan Rollins than we are max contract Immanuel Quickly

[Troubadour]

The Bucks get a W against the Warriors without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Raptors can't get a W without a healthy Jakob Poeltl. Who's the real MVP?

[Prestige]

Ryan Rollins is better than Quickley.

Hey, but the Quickley contract is great and a flat rate, people who complain about the contract just don't know basketball

Is Giddey the best player from the 2021 draft? Presti just doesn't miss.

Giddey will be an allstar if the Bulls keep playing like this.

contract looking like a real bargain so far

[PushDaRock]

In other unsurprising news, Nurse is running Maxey into the ground this season lol he's at over 43 mins a game.

So you want a 26 year old guard shooting 22% from 3 with twice as many turnovers and assists?

Cool.

lol I mean it's a 2 game sample size. He also has 5 steals too though.

It's also his 5 team in 5 years and the previous 4 didn't think he should play more than 2 NBA games for them.

I have no issue move off of higher pics for others showing more....like giving Battle more playtime than Dick or Battle, for example. I just don't think McClung is the best example...lol.

Not for us. Just a general observation that there are too many players around league that just need to be cut. Better to have more effort from bench.

I get that, but he hasn't had much of an opportunity for extended minutes in the NBA and at the same time has been too good for the G League. Guys like this don't work out over 99% of the time, but there's been a lot more scrubs in the league that got more of a chance than he has in the league.

Let's put Jameson Battle in the SL.

The Hawks are so lucky they got the Pelicans pick this year that was a complete fleece

Not really luck. They made the same offer to us and we passed (so did multiple other teams to be fair). I would have made that trade easily once I saw that that next years pick was unprotected. Also we’d get the 23rd pick too.
