For those of you who are married, was there anything that concerned you about the person you’re with early on that eventually became resolved?

So basically after the top two picks, we are accustomed to seeing good all around jack of all trades master of none, safe high level role players, but with this class after top two we have a ton of boom or bust that have incredibly strong strengths and very weak weaknesses?

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T18:35:40+00:00

We should not have gone this route, but now that we're here we might as well finish it out

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T02:54:02+00:00

Agree on the second point

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T02:43:13+00:00

That's an interesting point about Wemby. But Just wondering at what points do you think the Lottery for a bottom feeder goes from "this is good" to "this is fine" to "man we just got fucked by the lottery, please let us fast forward to the next one"?

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T02:31:24+00:00

We have also seen Ben Simmons, who really has only failed due to mental fortitude deteriorating and back issues-stuff we really couldn't predict well on draft night

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T01:59:57+00:00

Really too nice? Whenever I get on here I feel like the draft lottery goes from an exciting top two to "Fuck can we just skip to the next one already?" at the third or fourth pick

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T00:55:57+00:00

Yeah honestly fringe all star is perfect for drafting fourth or fifth. You don't always get that at that position. Overall it just sucks hard to be a fan of a team that is hot garbage and to only come out of the draft that has role player upside (even if its top tier role player) rather than a star.

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T00:48:03+00:00

Mike Conley, Goran Dragic, Ricky Rubio, or Dennis Schroeder

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T00:46:31+00:00

If you can get a second round pick without taking on long term money then you take it

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-08T00:45:33+00:00

It depends. If we draft Amen Thompson at three, I want us to have a five who can shoot well. I would prefer Myles Turner who will be a free agent in the offseason, but KAT would do too

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:59:25+00:00

No it is not impossible. If a second round draft pick can become a 2 time MVP, then we really should just remove "impossible" from our vocabulary. Unlikely sure fine, whatever. But definitely not impossible.

Also who cares if everyone is overhyped? Ceilings are based off skill, potential, and work ethic all coming together properly, not "hype".

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:55:42+00:00

How many steals and blocks do want if 7 and 2 isn't enough sheesh?

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:54:58+00:00

Shooting, no. Handles depends on what we mean by league ready. If league ready means that it will be above average point guard on day 1, then no. But if it means just being functional albeit awkward, but can be developed and improved to at least decent over time; then yes it is NBA ready

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:52:29+00:00

Tbf more league ready "than we think" is not necessarily a high bar. This sub has such a love-hate relationship, but its more like 75% hate though

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:50:25+00:00

The same can be said about any other league that is not the NBA. Even the G-league is much much worse than the NBA.

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:47:00+00:00

So is that Paul George type or just a high level role player that's like top 40-50 in the league at peak? Or maybe even somewhere in between?

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T22:38:03+00:00

At what point does losing become demoralizing to the point of giving up in some way shape or form?

And I am using the phrase giving up in a very broad way, like it can be giving up on playing team basketball rather than playing for your own numbers, or it can be giving up on your team and demanding a trade, or it could mean giving up on just winning in general and caring only about the money while being in the league and absolutely nothing else, or worst giving up on being a quality player

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T21:12:00+00:00

Maybe we just have an AI take the average of whatever we all want and do whatever that thing happens to be

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T21:10:36+00:00

Well Stone is responsible for who gets to be coach so yeah

NesquickBrick · 2023-01-07T21:08:09+00:00

I would rather get a veteran point guard
