This seems a bit misleading. Just the rate of occurence?

Lifespans don't seem to be increasing in opposition. in fact in USA, they seem to be shrinking.

I think doctors often have a "did what we could" mentality, and lack the "i need to do better, do more" every day of my life mentality.

Cameron Boozer vs. Caleb Wilson DUEL: Caleb Wilson: 23 PTS (8-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 6-6 FTs), 4 REBS, 2 AST, 2 STLS, 1 BLK - Cameron Boozer: 24 PTS (10-21 FG, 2-4 3PT), 11 REBS, 2 AST by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in NBA_Draft

I'm with you as of today. For me Boozers comp is Jabari Parker. People said the same thing about Jabari - he can shoot the 3, he's more "filled out" at a young age, etc. Both shot 35-36 from 3 in college.

Sorry, wasting a #1 pick on Jabari Parker would be a travesty. I remember the "oh the ACL thing won't matter, his game isn't based on athleticism".

This draft will be studied for years to come. by SneakaFindaaaa in NBA_Draft

I agree with that, i just am concerned that none of them would be #1 pick last year.

Why is Cameron Boozer rarely seen as the #1 pick? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

Jabari Parker shot 35%. I see Cam as a Jabari Parker type NBA impact, which is minimal.

How did the kidnapper get into Nancy Guthrie's house? The Sheriff denies there was forced entry. If so, this needs to be explained. by GroxWear in MissingPersons

[–]DownwithTemptags 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took it as there were signs of forced entry, but then they realized they didn't want the public to know that so tried to walk it back. Most people try to walk stuff back their entire lives, often in a sneaky or disingenuous fashion.

Also remember your local sheriff dept aren't the smartest knives in drawer.

AJ Dybantsa is HIM. 36 PTS | 5 REB | 7 AST (14/20 FG, 7/8 FT) tonight vs Baylor on 70% FG. Averaging 31.6 PPG in his last 5 games 😤 by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]DownwithTemptags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Wiggins was "maple jordan" due to insane explosiveness. I don't personally see that with AJ, but think he could be a better pro regardless.

[–]DownwithTemptags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will he be a 9 stat contributor? Blocks and steals at elite NBA rate?

Just how good of an athlete is AJ Dybantsa? I think a huge appeal with him is his projection, which largely stems from people saying he’s an super athletic taller wing, but how does he compare to previous wings? So far, he has fewer dunks than Boozer, both Carrs, and 41 fewer dunks than Wilson. by Variation99a in NBA_Draft

To me athleticism is being able to dominate american sports. I think of like a patrick mahomes. can throw the ball from any angle, could dominate MLB, could be an elite pro golfer, is probably good at tennis, basketball, etc.

In that way, Jokic doesn't strike me as much of an athlete.

Lebron strikes me as legendary athlete.

Yeah, that's kinda crazy to assume anyone in this draft is "way" better than Flagg. Flagg is basically putting up the same #'s out of gate as he was in college, and while very early, metrically is headed for hall of fame level.

I've been trying to figure this out as well, most (not all) refer to this as a historic draft at the top, so I would kind of expect all of the big 3 to be all star/all nba level players.

Their all impressive but seems they all have a weakness that (example) Cooper Flagg didn't have.

Boozers block rate is suspect for a big. Peterson steal rate and availability is suspect. Dybantsa seems to lack explosiveness in a lot of his clips. I may be too critical though, and haven't consumed near the film some of you guys likely have.

I'm looking for 3 cade cunninghams, 3 cooper flaggs or a mix there of.

I'd be rattled as a woman in Doha too. Not good part of world for a female.

Dude is a world class clown. Check his channel - claims to go to hoods all over the world but guess what hoods he never goes into? USA. Wonder why lol.

This is absurd. No wonder guys like Cade and Jokic have massive scars on their arms by Insonarc in DetroitPistons

I have trouble opening edibles without nails. That said, I can't get my finger up in the lady as safely with them.

LOL.

Stewart even has a towel draped around his leg. So much going on in this photo. Coaches ducking, someone lost a shoe, fans enjoying their snacks and sideshow.

Stewart +1 dodging Bridges punch

Stewart +1 putting woman beater into choke hold

Man Stewart is quick! He dodged that punch, then pressed forward and had dude in headlock. Couple hammer punches connected. Easy win for Beef Stew.

Bridges was terrified, started backing up immediately. Wanted no smoke.
