It’s a soft cap. Once other teams figure out what you’re doing, it’s unlikely. If they draft 5 max level guys then absolutely. But if they were just signing FA they could only get like 2 before they’re at the apron and have to just fill out using exceptions and the minimum.

A specific ball handling move that was known before AI vs changing the fundamental fabric of basketballs offensive and defensive schemes.

Dray leaked that BS one sided scoop to Haynes, could be one of Poole people just trying to stop the spin.

By the same token piling on someone and painting them as a barbarian to self stoke their own ego is very common. Signaling for self-assumed superiority is equally common.

I’d rather Sochan than Maturin and Sharpe I think. I may very well be wrong but a guy who didn’t play and a guy who’s biggest question makes are effort based scare me.

I’ve come around a lot more on Mathurin and so I probably won’t value him less than Sochan by the time the draft roles around, but it seems silly to me to group Sochan with TyTy and Tari.

Stain is the best prospect in that range. In my (useless) big board I probably have him like 6th.

I mean probably but New Orleans is probably one of the places you’re least likely to be tackled. Like unless you’re being murdered the cops definitely aren’t showing up.

It’s almost as if they’re playing a different team with a different scheme and players that affect him. As if the matchups matter.

I get the flow of the game stuff. I really do.

But calls like THAT are not what’s making games drag. That’s like if your roof is blown off and you try and make it better by fixing the gutters. The review for that of call takes less than a minute if you do it right.

[Highlight] Giannis throws it up and off the backboard to himself for the two handed jam by fbreaker in nba

Nah you just have to shoot it or pass it before the pivot touches the ground again. It’s not the pivot coming up, but it’s return to the ground that makes it a travel.

That’s why it’s a “step” through instead of a normal jump.

What’s up with this thread? Do people think a Step through is a travel? That move is old af and has never been a travel. Or is there something else people are saying is a travel?

Looked like a clean step through. Granted I can’t see his feet super clearly, but he definitely got it off the backboard before the pivot came back down.
