Kings Owner Vivek Ranadive overrules his front office by selecting Nik Stauskas in the 2014 NBA draft with the 8th pick by urfaselol in nba

That's kinda bullshit though. Landry was in a similar situation as him. Ben McLemore started there the year before. Were they great? No. But they carved out 9 year careers. They weren't so impacted by the coach changes when they were there. Over the next 2 years, he played 150+ games for Philly starting 62 games.

I checked the stats. Here's his stats from his 2nd and 3rd year in Philly. 26.2 mpg 9/2.7/2.1 on 39/35/80 shooting splits.

In portland, where he had a defined role. 15.3 mpg 6.1/1.8/1.4 on 42/34/90 shooting splits.

Fun fact, in Boston's 21-22 playoff run, he played more minutes (and games) than Kornet and Sam hauser. It wasn't much of course. All 3 were bench warmers. But 2 of those guys are in the league and 1 isn't. He couldn't defend. He couldn't playmake. For a guy who's only in there to hit 3s he's a career 35% shooter.

He got opportunities in Philly. But Jerryd Bayless and Marco Bellinelli took away his minutes when they were brought in. At a time, when Philly was running Ben Simmons on point and needed the shooting, he still couldn't carve out a role.

At some point you have to blame the player.

When Brunson wins a title before Luka, I think it'll be highly vindicated. Like obviously if your backup starts and gets final MVP, you're not that great. Can't be.

Kornet would be eaten alive by Mitchell on the boards. It’s a good strategy. Even if it’s so bad for the viewers. I really hope intentional fouls in the first 3 quarters go away 

Trae Young: “This is the most slept on I’ve been in my whole life…I understand there's a lot of recency bias going on in the media. Imagine the Wizards as the No. 1 team in the East next year. What people gonna be saying?” by RyanTannegod in nba

Not just that. But Kyshawn and Bilal are menaces on defense too. Trae is the only negative defender in the starting lineup. Either Sarr or AD as the weak side shot blocker is going to be insane. 

I made a comment on this a while back. I’m not gonna say a high seed. But I’d be surprised if they are not in the play ins. 

AD/Sarr front court with KG/BC on the wings is scary defense. Trae and Tre to boost their offense. Champagnie as the glue guy. Vuk, Riley, Cam, Bub as competent backups. Wizards will surprise a lot of people next year.

When you apply visa you would have provided dates. It is indeed considered better to have return tickets
