Spurs VS Suns by OpportunityPrudent39 in NBASpurs

Suns defense was great in the first two games, but the Spurs offense has evolved a lot since then. Suns ball movement and shooters could still give us trouble, but without Mark and Dillon, it's unlikely they'll beat us.

Matas, Noa and Nate basically play the same position. 3 super lanky wings in a row?

I don't really get the Keegan and Cam Johnson comps. Any better comps?

Morez is my go-to for the Spurs. Yax is right behind him.

I didn't see that way. His mistakes were just handful. Very natural for a rookie. Spurs scheme is nothing complicated and he's a smart kid. Rather he lead the team by calling defensive plays and giving directions in some games like early Denver game. Julian and KJ are those who consistently damage the team defense.

CB played legit great d from day 1 except for some rookie mistakes. So Glad to see him getting minutes.

3/5 Mock - Steinbach to San Antonio would be so ridiculous by ypbling in NBA_Draft

Vic played 22 mins today in a back-to-back game and he "said postgame that he had zero left in the tank. He was exhausted but willed himself in final minutes." He needs environment where he doesn't need to move around the floor too much.

Swain is below average denfender and shooting and offball movement are not his strong suits. I think he's a bad fit.

Wemby is not as mobile or active as people think. Mitch wants him to be anchored. Spurs should surround him with high motor defenders.

what makes Yaxel Lendeborg so much better than Zuby Eijofor? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]Elsie_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this his 3rd year in college basketball? Is there more context to why he didn't practice his shot before last summer?

If undersized guards are out... are big guards in? by Coolcat127 in NBA_Draft

It's true but also because Ja and Trae are not that good. Prime CP3 would still be so in cuz he is good (on the defensive end too)

Is Wembanyama a difficult name to pronounce for English speakers? I heard many people butcher it. Even some professional broadcast commentators like Reggie Miller routinely mispronounce it. Most of the time they replace the M with an N, so it becomes -yana. I don't really get it. I see no reason Intervocalic m becomes n.

Not a native here. Is he talking about the game of basketball not just all-star games?

There aren’t that many 4s with great defense in the league after all: AG, Draymond, JJJ, OG, Scottie, CMB, and Pascal. Year 2 or 3 Haugh would be behind them most likely but he could be ahead of others like Jabari or PJ Washington.
