I noticed the Jazz were getting a lot of hipster picks to come out of the west. They still seem to talentless behind Mitchell. It doesn't help that Conley is struggling to get acclimated.

Yeah, if that is in fact where he was then all power to him. Basketball can wait.

Now they're saying that Jimmy is going to skip the road trip and delay his debut even further.

I could be out of line, but it seems excessive, to me. Assuming there are no complications.

Watch on YouTube

Excellent scorer from all three levels. Underrated passer. I cannot understand people doubting this guy during the predraft process.

Grant Williams played big minutes as the 4 and even 5 against Gasol/Ibaka and Siakam. Impressive performance. Was a bit worried about him after seeing his size against NBA athletes, but his IQ is simply too good to not translate.

Yeah, Williams will be fine. His passing out of the high post was impressive. Like I said in another thread, once he leverages his free throw shooting into NBA 3 point range, he should be a really good two-way player.

I don't believe anybody mentioned it, but Marc Gasol singlehandedly lost the game for the Raptors last night. He's terrible. He must have spent all of the gas left in his tank, against us last year. I'm no longer concerned that the Clippers will trade for him to matchup with Embiid. He's not going to look good enough for anybody to trade anything for him.

Wow trae

Meanwhile Trae Young is breaking the **** out. A better passing Steph Curry. His 3 point shots are just as audacious and they all look like they're going on.

Watching Fultz trying to guard Trae Yound down the stretch of a game was tough. Young scored 7 points in crunch time off Fultz - two buckets on drives and one 30 foot 3-pointer. Glad I don't have to care about Fultz anymore.

Ingram has been impressive. Reminds me of why i wanted him over Ben.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, the current jumper success is fake and will revert back to the norm and you'll be left with an inside the arc scorer that occasionally plays good defense.

Young is a scoring machine. He might lead the league in scoring at some point.

Kobblehead · Post #277 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:11 am

Luka might be better than Simmons, but he ain't better than Trae!

I love the emergence of new stars in the nba. Trae Young, Luka Doncic, and Ben Simmons are all on their way to being superstars.
