I think it's fair to say the hype was too much. People are too enamored with physical tools/physical ability instead of if a guy can play or not.

Wiggins needs time, a lot of it.

So you're saying that it was a bad idea for me to draft him in the third round in my fantasy league lol.

The Clips look broken, they have some problems. They have two questionable starters, another you cant play at the end of games and not much depth.

I wish we had Robin Lopez, I would start him over Jonas as well.

Was just thinking this. Jonas is a better long term investment though and his defense is underrated.

Aaron Gordon is younger, is only a little less athletically but is stronger, has a better feel for the game, is more skilled and by the looks of it has improved his shooting. He'll probably end up the best player from that draft.

Wiggins may become a t-mac type player but I think he's even more raw than Tracy was.

I'm at the Clippers and Blazers game, and Meyers Leonard swished 5 one handed 3 pointers in a row at halftime. I'm a believer of Mufasdom.

I also think Jonas would benefit coming off the bench in terms of touches. We could probably speed his development in the post by having him anchor our 2nd unit because it's certainly not happening in the SL.

I feel soo bad for the pacers, they were hyped as a title contender just a year ago and now they'll be lucky not to finish dead last! Just look up and down their roster, they have nothing left!

I love our team, we're nice guys who are talented.

I love the makeup of our team, family guys, brotherhood, "character" guys that won't be pushed around either... that's my type of team.

Washington looks like the Raptors against Pacers.
Hope Boston beats Chicago who has had the easiest schedule so far.

Harden's hesitation dribble off the ball screen is so deadly. Always freezes the defense for a second and he gets an easy path to the rim.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

I don't feel bad for them at all. They'll retool very quickly with one of Okafor, Mudiay or Karl Towns Jr.
