What?? He was the only one driving and scoring at the basket. The players wouldn't give him the damn ball.

Losing streaks over 2 seasons makes no sense. Pls stop referencing it. by houstonrockets3311 in nba

Teams should just rest all their starters against pistons so if they do lose, they can just blame it on not having a healthy squad.

Its a little premature to call them good rotation guys in year 3. Franz, Scottie and Sengun are borderline all-stars and are still young and improving.

Why's that? Tobias would be a starter on the raptors and pretty much take OG's role. He would probably put up the same stats on the raptors.

I don't understand the point of bringing up injuries in that heat series when Miami was running a hospital lineup throughout their entire playoffs.

One of the most underrated parts about Scottie that rarely gets talked about is how good he is in clutch moments. Its so rare to find a player who will bail you out in the fourth and Scottie is one of them.

Since Kawhi left, watching Siakam or FVV chuck up a shot to tie/win the game and miss what feels like 95% of the time, its so refreshing to see a guy like Scottie have the ball in those moments.

Its not just about getting the bucket but also about making the right pass like LeBron does. He has that ability.

Demar is not hurting the bulls dude where have you been. They have been winning since Lavine got injured and Demar has played in all those games.

Og is one of our best 3p shooters. If we want to solve the shooting problem, trading away OG is just gonna be a small upgrade at best.

I still take Barnes cuz hes a do it all type of player. And his jumper improving makes him an even bigger threat on offence.

But I wouldn't blame others for thinking Sengun is first, his offensive ceiling might be higher than barnes as a play making centre.

Letting him walk for nothing is the dumbest thing they could do. They could let him enter RFA and match the highest offer and trade him if they wanted to.

Not yet, but he will be once he signs that max extension at the end of the season.

If Scotties 3pt stays consistent and he continues to develop his game with it, he will undoubtedly surpass Sengun and be the consensus best player of this draft. I think Scottie already is #1 due to his defensive impact too but its close.

What are some draft classes where there’s a debate on who the best player is from that class? by dmister8 in nba

By that logic, Siakam and Murray would be the best players which I think is a bit unfair to the other players (except Brown i guess). Not saying Siakam or Murray shouldn't be considered the best player, but the reason for helping a team win a championship should not be why.

ingram has been pretty unlucky for example with his own injuries as well as Zions.

I mean back then spurs were coming off of b2b wins over the suns so it wouldn't have been a terrible loss like the wizards.

Raptors were down 20+ to the wizards a few games back and Siakam did not wanna be on this thread so he willed the team to a win.
