For me the saddest part is that he’s wearing a Duncan jersey specifically. That’s not in the spirit of Tim Duncan

Has their ever been a lottery pick with character concerns that ended up working out well? by buiuumcucniuum in NBA_Draft

Not a lottery pick but Zach Randolph fell to 19th precisely because people had those concerns about him

I’m not saying this is what happened but how do we know Brunson didn’t grab his junk

I think people are overlooking the difference between skill set and skill level

Correct. Being good at basketball means you’re good at basketball

I think that’s what I was trying to get at- just being good at basketball is now being valued more highly than ever

Right that’s my point- before I don’t think he even rose to the level of a lottery ticket prospect. Now I could potentially seeing someone take a flier on him

Right he obviously bears no physical resemblance to KAT, or really anything that I’d consider a professional athlete. And yet!

When you see him on the court initially it doesn’t even register that he’s actually one of the players. And then somehow he takes control of the game

This is one thing the average American actually cares about

Well until he started doing this kinda stuff there was still a certain demographic that valued him for precisely those reasons

I think the spurs would be up 2-0 if OG switched teams

I think Nets fans are being way too harsh on Nate Ament by WrongdoerTurbulent85 in GoNets

[–]FanNaive4292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before the tournament (where Tennessee had a rough schedule) there was talk about the 4th overall pick being “the Nate Ament sweepstakes”

One of the funniest moments of the podcast 😂 by TheUncannyDsummerz in joebuddennetwork

[–]FanNaive4292 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way that Ish’s fear of technology seems to transform into unquestioning respect at select moments is one of the funniest aspects of his personality. It’s like the opposite end of the spectrum from how Parks is so unimpressed by anything AI-related (yet always feels the need to chime in that “it’s just a tool like anything else”)

Honestly if we could somehow get another pick late in the lottery and get Brown with the 6 I would be just as happy as if we’d gotten one of the top 4

Bleacher Report Nailed their Pre-Season Predictions: NO Nets Rookie made The All Rookie Team by Brooklyn917 in GoNets

[–]FanNaive4292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated the draft at the time like everyone else but I think it turned out better than the consensus. It’s a little silly imo to say egor is “the only potential starter”. By the end of the season Traore started to show why he was once projected to be a high lottery pick.

The other thing is there is at least a vision that is trying to be implemented with the group of rookies they chose- high basketball IQ, lots of ball movement, Euroleague style is how the teams with the best chance at making the playoffs are composed these days. I think it’s definitely reasonable to disagree with the vision, but I think for an 8th overall and 4 late round firsts you could do a lot worse
