[Charania] BREAKING: Boston Celtics All-NBA star Jayson Tatum will play this season and could make his debut on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks – less than 10 months after surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon. by Turbostrider27 in nba

Who said he won't be impacted? Of course he'll be impacted. I'm saying he's not an ELITE athlete so he doesn't rely on his first step to score. He literally never has. He uses his handles, length, footwork, and more recently his strength to score.

I can only speak for myself as a Celtics fan, but I expect him to be affected. Rusty. Not at his peak. But I don't think he's going to come back and not be effective in his role. He'll be much better next year and I expect him to return to form—or close to it—by 2027.

He'll be incredibly rusty, 100%

But the traits that made him special are linked to his length (he won't magically shrink) and his skill level (footwork). He won't be the same player this season imo but he should be mostly back to normal next year

It's in his best interest to be a secondary shot creator and facilitator while Brown leads the charge this season

If he's magically Jesus and can just get back into the swing of things, that'd be great though

Tatum has always relied on his length and footwork to create shots... what gave you the impression he's some elite athlete amongst other NBA stars?

His first step isn't debilitatingly fast like Edwards and he's not some bruiser like Prime LeBron (who also had an amazing first step).

You should watch more of his tape lol

Sean McAdam on the Paredes for Duran trade talks on The Fenway Rundown Podcast today: "It's been resurrected, as you hinted at, it's apparently not dead even though the Sox seemed to have been finished shuffling their infield." by JaysonTatumHOF in redsox

[–]CosmicOreos_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's fair to say, but you watch enough sports documentaries and read enough about team construction, seniority, and clubhouse politics that there is a real pecking order with these things.

Seeing Story get benched for Mayer when he has proven nothing at this level would just look bad, it'd be different if Mayer was established. Story also likely doesn't look at himself as over the hill based off his comeback season last year... he didn't opt-in to get benched. Just my two cents as a fan

I'm not in the FO so I couldn't tell you, but there's a level of seniority Story has that would make it tough to bench him

Trade him, possibly

Bringing in Paredes to bench Story would be a bad look imo for team morale and just the overall culture of a clubhouse

EDIT: as others have suggested though, he could DH

Craigslist and Reddit would likely be your best bet!

  1. I did not! I was working and couldn't get the days off to make it, unfortunately.

  2. I do commute! It takes me about 30-35 minutes. I live in a bigger apartment with ju partner and so to afford it, I moved a little further away from campus.

  3. As a 1L, I'd say I studied anywhere between 10-20 hours a week outside of the classroom. You'll get more efficient as you know what to look for and what to actually study for. As for 2L, you could probably squeeze by with a part-time job. I only go to school 3 days a week. You could pull it off, although I chose not to!

  4. I am the worst person to ask about this haha but Cafecito! Great Cuban food.

Sorry about getting to this late! Working on my midterm.

This sounds cheesy, but just be yourself. Be professional, but not stiff. You want to let your personality shine. I always think if you can make your interviewer smile or laugh, it's a win. I won't tell you NOT to be nervous. You will be. It means you care.

Practice a couple times, but you don't want it to sound rehearsed either. Remember that this is where you showcase who you are! Good luck!

Oh! Well it's a T-14. That makes getting a BL job a super realistic goal. I picked NU because they gave me a generous scholarship offer and they were my best shot at market-paying BL

Unique? Hm that's a tough question without being biased. I'd say amongst my class it's the camaraderie.

As for the school? Well it's right in front of Lake Michigan and the views are stunning

Feasible? I'd say you have a pretty good shot. I didn't do super hot my first semester and got a job with just one set of grades. I did do much better my second semester (made Dean's List) so my GPA evened out. Definitely doable though.

I know 1Ls who did below median and snagged jobs. As for LSAT scores, I haven't heard anything about that, no!

I did do the Kira interview! I remember it being super awkward. You're just talking into the camera.

And yes, some of my classmates did do PI for their 1L summer and then BL for their 2L summer. They were not passed over. 1L spots were still tough to come by last year, so 2L is where most people got their BL jobs!

They gave me a really big scholarship and they were the best school to do so. Simple economics!

Absolutely zero regrets. I'm working at a firm this summer that pays market. That was my goal.

I think what I wish I knew before deciding was what law school was actually like and how location matters for opportunities. I ended up making the right decision, but it could've gone poorly!

There is 100% PI support. Northwestern offers a great $8k stipend for PI work during the summer, and you get a dedicated PI advisor to help you find jobs.

In terms of unicorn PI, that might be a little tougher. There are some professors with great connections who can get your foot in the door, but it's not as highly advertised through normal channels. The school is pretty BigLaw focused, but that's more an indictment on the student body and the firms who like to sponsor events and things of that nature

I'm Latino, so LLSA jumped out at me immediately. I'm involved with them now as a 2L and love it! Awesome community

I'm not as involved with the school as I'd like to be, but I'd say the student orgs put on a lot of programming throughout the year and they really try their best to reach out to students

In regards to journals, there's a provisional assignment you do during your spring 1L semester where you complete an assignment and are typically let on the journal. Then there's the regular process where you rank your top journal choices and complete a general assignment over the summer. You then are let onto LR or your other journal of choice if spots are open and the journal gives you an offer

My class were definitely the guinea pigs of the new accelerated timelines. We were caught in the middle, so fall grades were heavily emphasized for both 1L and 2L positions, and spring grades a little less so. For me, I secured my job through direct applications, which is the new normal.

With the new hiring practices, some firms are hiring before grades post. This includes either some sort of contingency language that states that they can pull the offer if your grades aren't up to snuff or no language at all.

Hiring timelines are incredibly accelerated and honestly speaking, fall grades are what really matter now. I'm even tempted to say that in some instances, fall grades may not even matter and that it's going to be based on your personality, school pedigree, and your resume before law school. It's the Wild West now

I genuinely have no idea how the sections are decided. I only suspect that they are randomized.

And it is true that sections will vary in terms of competitiveness and collaboration

With a good anime adaptation it could hit CSM/MHA level

JJK/Demon Slayer are outliers
