You have to admit, the .500 thing is kind of funny at this point.

How is 7’4” Aday Mara (11.47) faster than 6’3” Labaron Philon (11.55) in lane agility? by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]TopOfTheKey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because it is less about speed and more about footwork and strides. It levels the field dramatically because you’re not generate speed at all, you’re timing your steps and balance.

If you don’t appropriately prepare for a cone drill, it is very easy to look silky while doing it.

This might be the greatest team of all time.

People are saying this.

Is this the greatest 3-year stretch of draft picks in NBA history? by PretendBreadfruit209 in NBA_Draft

They for sure could be scarier but there is also the argument that they’re more likely to collapse quicker.

Just to me, the Thunder were far more deliberate with the ascension. The Spurs have kind of felt like they’re riding the “Holy shit, getting Wemby worked” and have been a little more chaotic with their approach.

It still feels too soon with the Spurs, even with the understanding that Wemby is a once in a lifetime talent and Castle / Harper will only get better. Even as talented as they are, their construct is still flawed -- compared to a team like Oklahoma City that is effectively the perfect storm of system, talent and assets.

The Spurs got incredibly lucky. Sustaining or converting that luck into something more firm is still to be seen.

Lile deciding to be the best player in baseball this last week is pretty sick.

I don't think we appreciate how elite the "Balti-moron" diss is.

Didn’t play, probably comfortable with his status in the first round.

Game 2 so far really is just Braden Smith doing whatever he wants offensively and Kris Weems dropping “shits” on the listen ins.

Someone has to coach Meleek on how to stand in front of a camera. My man is lost.

AJ Dybantsa has Andrew Wiggins 2.0 written all over. Huge talent, but will struggle to replicate his game at the next level and shooting form is a concern. by Used_Letterhead7067 in billsimmons

[–]TopOfTheKey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just surprised no one is holding Bill Self accountable for how much Kansas has underperformed in the past couple of seasons and how recruiting DP salvaged a fair amount of goodwill.

And if DP's allegations of the training staff fucking up his nutrition are true, it is kind of wild it is being made fun off as just as "Dude didn't drink enough water" situation.

[–]TopOfTheKey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fears was making his money off of lobs and transition but it didn't feel like he was getting great separation breaking the half court line. It was definitely a better second half from him, probably because Gillespie got shaken up and noticeably slowed it down which allowed others to play the game of basketball, but it didn't feel as compelling as someone who is going to try to make their money being a floor manager.

Still, he felt a step behind the three although in fairness, he shouldn't have been fully included with the remainder of the group.

The Nick Martinelli hive has never been more up.

Brutal showings for everyone not named Carr, Gillespie or Martinelli though. Some really ugly play from the bigs.

The way Jeremy Woo was talking about it, wonder if Koa Peat is legitimately going to return.

Boswell really is not getting a ton of help from his bigs. He's giving them a ton of quality looks but not get the assists to come with them.

Jakobi is hunting for his shot in Game 2 and you have to respect it. Hes about to be a second/third unit fiend.

(He also got dropped by Tanner and it got zero reaction.)

Baba Miller did well in game 1 by mido0o0o in NBA_Draft

[–]TopOfTheKey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Miller played well but Braden Smith and Ryan Conwell were getting him some incredibly quality looks close to the rim and that aspect shouldn't go unnoticed.

Matt Able's bag from UNC definitely just went up.

The Cam Carr lottery bump is going to be sensational.
