Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, Morris_Shatford, HiJiNX, 7 Footer, DG88

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?
64
54%
Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

18%
Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

If we're talking about measurements, somewhat similar play styles & potentially within our range...from least likely available to most

Kendall Brown
Keegan Murray
Tari Eason


I posted that with his steals and blocks numbers despite being the age of a junior and having a very soft schedule, Keegan Murray could be an OG with a smoother perimeter game. He has more steals than fouls.

I believe that the age thing could potentially work against him. Not saying that is right nor wrong.

Based on his play this season, he certainly deserves to be in the top 10.

I think his end of the season performances will determine is real position in the draft. Especially if he performs well in the tournament. I think some scrub team that needs a scorer will just take him if he's there.


Son is silky smooth with his offense.

What happened to him before? This is his second year of college, yet he is 21 years of age.

Idk but guys often stay back a year for academic or even advantages over their draft stock.

I know Shabazz Mohammed was the famous one I remember that did that. His dad made him stay back a year to destroy kids a year younger than him. Idk what the situation was with Murray.

Mathurin was okay his freshman year and is now doing well as Arizona has had an easier than last year.

Murray I guess was an old freshman but had a deep team ahead of him.

Yeah there are countless examples of guys staying for multiple years in college and becoming great players (Lillard, Curry, Draymond, Klay, Jimmy Butler, Lowry, etc). Too many to count.

Yeah, I'm referring to guys staying back in highschool. Plenty of great players stay back in college. Murray is a 21 year old sophomore. He had to stayed back in highschool.

That was a helluva Villanova squad with Lowry, Randy Foye and Allan Ray :lol:

And Draymond was actually balling out at Michigan State.

Exactly. Not only that but he says he doesn’t want a Hinkie type team and yet suggests trading for FVV and Siakam for draft picks. :lol:

tWo needs to pick a lane.

Damn just saw that post, I literally have a detailed explanation above that post. But he knows what he's doing. Trolling/derailing. Knows he can get away with it. Literally we've explained our positions countless times for all the burners but they choose to ignore.

Just named Big 10 player of the week.

I don't know if he will be a big-time player in the NBA, but purely based on what I have seen on youtube, he looks like he can do a bit of everything and contribute everywhere in multiple scenarios no matter the matchup.

Burner account accusation again. This stuff is brilliant. :lol:

The amount of posters on here that have been completely and utterly owned in other threads recently has been wildly entertaining. You guys are really representing yourselves well.

Who knew these takes were bad and would easily be refuted:

"Pascal and FVV can't be part of a championship core"

"Pascal and FVV are ball hogs"

"OG barely touches the ball with FVV and Pascal on the court"

"Pascal's numbers are inflated due to the last two games against G-league squads."

"Scottie doesn't get enough shots"

Keep it coming guys.
