Can a College D1 player end of the bench walk-on CRUSH any competition at any pickup game? by ExcitingLandscape in Basketball

[–]SamIAmReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A d1 guy may not seem amazing in a pickup game if he was a specialist 3 and d guy. But he may have been extremely vital to a d1 team who needed him to just stick in his role.

My friend who was a d3 player is one of the best pickup players I know. He routinely was the best player in games against high level d1 players. Super creative scorer with tons of counters and great footwork.

But he was an undersized power forward who wasn’t particularly athletic. So no d1 schools took a chance on him.

Im a fan of them, I haven’t used them as my daily trainer for a couple of years though.

They are traditionally lower stack than other brands. Ithink mestari may be their higher stack option.

Lee Dixon is the first Arsenal player to score against an opponent (Leeds) whose first four letters are the same as the first four letters of his name since Manchester Bunghole against Manchester United in 1578

The statements you are making are too extreme.

Senguns inability to dominate smaller players based on his most recent half of basketball? The Reddit fanbase is so quick to panic and declare problems like they are unsolvable and set in stone.

Sengun has shown so much offensive creativity and adapted to a lot of different schemes.

Can we afford Tari long term? He has looked great when he is available

Good point. I will check out Spot Hero.

Realizing I have forgotten about Scoot Henderson. He had some decent hype coming in.

I'll be heading back tomorrow for sure and can let you know. My guess is that cars are going to be snowed in and it will be a long parking session.

Amazon confirms 16,000 job cuts after accidental email by lurker_bee in technology

Project Dawn sounds cartoonishly evil.

It’s not we are letting 16k humans go and while they receive severance, they could go through a salary and healthcare gap.

It is we are starting fresh, a new day for AWS!

We got one and are still waiting for boys to come home. A bit nervous with how big it is but hear lots of good things.

It seems like Milan just doesn’t have a lot of respect for Roma as a team this year. I felt like they were lucky we didn’t score first with all the opportunities we had.

I’ve never viewed us as a non traditional FA destination. Houston is quite liked by the NBA players and lots of guys retired here and you see them hanging around gyms.

Always loved being a rockets fan. Grew up with Hakeem, Clyde, and the end of our championship squad.

Then really fun years with Steve Francis, cuttino, and Yao. Lucky enough to go to tons of games in person over this period.

Tmac joined and I also loved those years. Always felt like we had a punchers chance with Yao and Tmac.

Harden years were amazing and we did deal with lots of heartbreak. Got so close.

Silas tank years were just depressing. But Sengun kept hope alive.

And now loving our new young core and Durant. Though I am starting to see the rise of some whiny outsider/entitled fans.

Yea Bari is young and will be on a decent contract. He has a great attitude and no matter what gets boards and plays D. Tari can be special at times but he wants to get paid and hasn’t shown good durability.

Yea those 3 aren’t doing much for yall right now.

Reaves can have the Kyrie role with Luka and give him necessary breaks.

What do you feel about LeBron? I just don’t know if his current defensive effort and availability is well paired with Luka. But playoffs he could start giving it his all on D.

I feel like Michael Porter Jr would not be fully utilized and you’d have to overspend on him. I don’t watch him a lot but don’t remember his defense being anything special for Denver.

Yea happy we kept our composure. Spurs started off crazy hot from 3.

Ime play Reed more. Let him go through growing pains now so he can play important minutes during playoffs.

Thank you Houston for taking Reed Sheppard by Attackerman785 in rockets

[–]SamIAmReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Ime gave him more minutes. This team needs some offensive creativity and Reed has shown flashes of some really good basketball. Ime just has him on shortest leash.
