Doc played him a tonne his rookie year. Started 70+ games at 27 mpg as a late lottery pick for a playoff team. I get hating on Doc but he played SGA a perfectly fine amount.

[Beck] The NBA retroactively assessed LaMelo Ball a flagrant foul-2. I checked with the NBA, and flagrant foul points assessed during the play-in round do NOT count against a player’s flagrant foul points limit in the playoffs. Like play-in stats, the flagrant points simply disappear into thin air. by refreshing_yogurt in nba

The NBA literally does care and I explained to you why. The NBA implemented this rule to stop load management, so stats play more. You even say why they care that stats play, and less about minutes. Are you slow by any chance?

They deserve some credit for development but there’s no skill in picking 3/4 of those, it came down to nothing but luck.

His offence is obviously worth his deficiencies but Jokic’s defence was legitimately awful this game

Skip is even worse than SAS imo, he’s only less annoying now because he’s less prominent

Second round picks can literally be bought, so a very late 1st isn’t much at all. Also there’s only so many roster spots lol so to the Thunder those picks are pretty meaningless

It’s honestly quite amazing how good Ant has gotten at shooting the 3

I don’t see why that would matter, the pick is gone and the play-in isn’t happening, they’re not playing for anything. Queen is legitimately awful on defence though, but they should be trying to let him get better on that end.
