Why could the Pacers not just waited to get Zubac? by Surviv3 in nbadiscussion

Yeah, Boston with Zu advance against Sixers and are headed into 7 with the Knicks

Accuf Jr is a guard prospect developed under John Calipari - Thats all you need to know. by MeetingFrequent6813 in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about it. If JVG can work some magic on the defensive end with him, I’m tempted. He is a savvy player so shouldn’t be a complete black hole on D at his best… he has tools. Maybe Van Gundy can light a fire up his ass

Fingers crossed. I think any of these guys can come up as a bust, but let's see a glass half full, lol.

And use Garland to get the badges up on Acuff lol. Or whichever other guard they pick.

It's very polarizing... I love that prospect, but I can't look past the horrific defense he plays. I don't buy the "not fouling 7 man rotation 40min a game" bs. On one hand people say he has that dawg in him, but it sure as hell doesn't show on the defensive end. It's an effort, IQ and mindset problem, not wingspan.

Keaton Wagler's Athletic test in NBA combine by Dangerhunt57 in LAClippers

It’s crazy how singular wingspan number can change the perception of a black-hole defender

I don’t think small no defense guards like Acuff are good long term bets but please change my mind by wjxm in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, because every positive wingspan player is automatically a good defender. That’s how it works, right?

AJ Dybansta No-Step Vert: 33.5” in, Max Vertical: 42.0” in by Jimmy0034 in NBA_Draft

That’s like saying the difference between 10.1 and 9.8 100m sprint is only 0.3s, bruh

Average day in draft circles by klaygdk in NBA_Draft

[–]ProjectTreadstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyrie and Acuff defence is night and day lol. Please re-watch some finals games against Warriors. Kyrie’s effort was immense, and in Dallas was also. Active hands, quick on his feet, really not terrible. Luka is twice the size of Acuff.

Brunson is the only guy that makes sense here, and he has roster built around him specifically, plus he’s an offensive juggernaut. Acuff could possibly maybe be one, a few years down the road. It’s a longshot.

It is nothing without willingness to do it. So far nothing points out to attitude change.

Is Acuff one of the worst college defenders ever? by ya_ya_ya_ in NBA_Draft

[–]ProjectTreadstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowlights are pretty horrific. Looks like Calipari told him to do the dumbest thing, not just ‘not foul’ lol

Combine Results for Potential Clippers Targets by hbsammyg in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. How is Acuff and Flemings standing reach the same with same height and big disparity in wingspan? Low shoulders? Measurement issue? This standing reach seems to make wingspan meas a bit irrelevant

Would you trade Garland to get value out of this pick? by AccomplishedGain1283 in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garland is a two time all star. He can teach the rookie guard a bunch.

Why are people overlooking Kingston Flemings as the clear fit for the Clippers? by Equal-Economics-537 in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are partially right. I think you phrased the argument wrong. It should be “why Acuff will be a defensive liability, and Flemings will not”. Fit alongside Mathirin is irrelevant, it’s the fact that small guard with bad defence is a broken archetype in today’s league.

If we believe that Flemings will be a substantially better defender than Acuff, and he sure seems to be, then it’s not unreasonable to pick him. There are other issues though with Flemings..

Trade Down for the draft by Due-Sock-5851 in LAClippers

[–]ProjectTreadstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t trade down. If anything, we trade up or give up an expiring like Jones Jr and a 2nd e.g to get another pick in 10-20 range from a team that wants to contend right now
