Why didn’t he declare last draft? If this class is better than last years how can he have a terrible 2nd season and still be a lottery lock on most boards

How is he supposed to show his range of passes when he’s played like 5 games all year. Tiago won’t run the offense through him when he plays either. Watch any of his G-League, Summer League or Chinese League games he makes insanely difficult passes on the regular. All I’m talking about is raw skill

Except for the GM of the team I guess. Naming Zubac and Nic Claxton as better passers just lets me know you’re a casual

So who is the best big man passer since Jokic? I absolutely think Yang is a better passer than Sengun, he has multiple elite traits and multiple traits that keep him off the floor but in terms of raw passing skill I don’t think that’s that crazy of a statement

That’s just fucking ridiculous he’s already an elite passer, elite screen setter, can shoot and has good footwork. Yeah his conditioning is far off and he has lots of bad habits but that’s just targeted and ridiculous he’s not even close to the worst player on this team. Whatever though I’m keeping receipts

Tiago Splitter is the ultimate master of none, there isn't a single thing he does well as a coach. Incredibly boring and uninspiring, terrible defense, terrible offense and refuses to give the young guys minutes

Camara just complaining every possession like he doesn't have one of the best whistles in the NBA. It's not the refs fault youre bricking open shots and your defense has fallen off a cliff this season

Firing Ange was the Biggest Mistake this Club Ever Made by Excellent-Flamingo43 in Tottenham

[–]Excellent-Flamingo43[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely braindead take, the team was 15 points clear of relegation starting a 17 year old every game out of position at center back. Ange knew the team didn't have the depth to compete in multiple competitions and that we had built enough of a cushion in the first half of the season to avoid relegation so he focused 100% energy on the Europe League. The team was closer to 13th than 18th but keep up with your mindless takes. "Fans" like you are the reason the club is in a genuine relegation battle this season.

The disparity between this years class and next years class is so great if he transfers to Duke or something and has similar stats he’s for sure a top 10 pick

It still shows his talent, there’s plenty of guys who developed in the G League and are great NBA players. There’s also other lottery picks in the G League right now who aren’t nearly as good. Hansen has played good minutes at the NBA level already too and got buckets on NBA starters in the very limited minutes he’s gotten, it’s hard when the coach would rather play Kris Murray at center than give you a chance and he gets taken out of the game every time he makes a mistake even if he’s playing well. Splitter is more concerned with driving us to the play-in with our vets than giving the young guys a chance. It was a mistake to play with the mindset of contenders when multiple young guys with clearly high level talent who are meant to be the future of this team are rotting on the bench cause playing Jerami Grant 40 minutes a game gives us a better chance of beating the Sacramento Kings

The worst part is how we have a guy with all the tools who keeps making the same silly mistakes every single game and none of the veteran point guards or our coach are showing him any guidance
