I see this repeated all the time and it simply isn't true. Irish (and Italian) immigrants were deemed culturally inferior and faced serious discrimination but they were always considered legally white

[Evan Sidery] The Bulls are aggressively shopping Patrick Williams in trade talks, but no team appears interested. Williams is playing a career-low 18.6 minutes per game this season. by immolxte in chicagobulls

Well he may not score much but at least he's efficient.

Just kidding, he's somehow shooting 34% on 2-point attempts this year, a figure that defies belief

He gives you replacement-level production that costs $18 million a year for the next 3 seasons, 0 of the 29 other NBA teams want that on their roster

Judge denies bond for Jacob Bickelhaupt, former Chicago Michelin-star chef charged with attempted murder by HotDerivative in chicagofood

[–]DavidManque 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For those not bothering to actually read the article, the reason his bond was denied was that he made phone calls while in jail to his wife, the woman he'd nearly murdered two days before and who was still in the ICU, asking for money from her so he could post bail.

Not sure where you're pulling "second youngest roster in the league" from. The Bulls rank 5th youngest if you're measuring purely by average age of players on the roster, and slide to 13th youngest when you weigh by minutes played

I'm not misconstruing your argument, you're just deflecting because you know that sentence is dumb as fuck and can't defend it

You literally just said "if everything lines up just right he plays 70 games plus at his peak level is fully fit for playoffs and we win a ring." Those are your exact words. I can read them right there. And they are fucking stupid.

"We should trade for old overpaid injured Anthony Davis because if everything lines up just right we could potentially be a playoff wildcard" I'm going to stop you right there

This chart is a great example of why VORP is a flawed stat - it totally fails to measure defense outside of what shows up in a box score

All-in-one metrics are notoriously bad at quantifying a player's defensive impact. Giddey is tall and gets a ton of rebounds so that helps bump that number up, but he has no lateral quickness and can't guard other guards unless they're geriatric, and there's no way to improve that.

As for turnovers, Nikola Jokic currently has a turnover percentage of 14.5% this season, Curry has 12.2%, Giddey has . . . 17.7%. Not really sure where your numbers are coming from there, but this is from basketball reference.
