Lol Quickley...can we just let him play off-ball? Forget the contract at this point.

1 assist by IQ is why I’m interested in Trae Young

Darko needs JaKobe to show something to offset Gradey's good game. He's got his favorites.

Stop letting IQ dribble so much jesus
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

I think he looked pretty darn solid in the last game. Much stronger than before and noticable on both ends

Dwight and Drummond were very similar prospects too. They had different career trajectories.

No they weren’t. Not even close.

One was a transcendent high school guy who was a #1 pick and fantastic defender. The other was Andre Drummond who went mid lottery.


Mo Bamba was a five star recruit in HS and touted as the best defender of his draft class. Maluach went lower than Drummond.

I don’t know what you’re argument even is anymore :lol:

The difference between Dwight, and Bamba/Makauch/Drummond is Dwight was a super high IQ defender (and athletic as hell).

The other guys don’t have a brain defensively and we’re all drafted as projects. Funny enough, Drummond would be a great outcome for Malauch, but he is most likely just gonna be another guy out of the league in 5 years like Bamba is

Would like to see Shead in for Jakobe. Less ball handling duties for IQ, the better we’re off.

Darko's gotta take out Quickley and test out Shead to close the game. 6 minutes left.

It's disgusting we're allowing Risacher to do with with 5 fouls for the last 2 quarters
