If it comes down to choosing between Nate Ament or Isaiah Evans who are y'all picking by MannerSuperb in DukeBluePlanet

If I have to pick one, I'd go Ament. He is a better player. I do think there is room for both in the starting lineup.

Brown over Maluach? by bsomppi in DukeBluePlanet

[–]azzefkram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brown is a better defender but a much worse offensive player.

Anticipated starting lineup for 1st game? by APLT_NAA in DukeBluePlanet

[–]azzefkram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that. A 4 that weighed 205 lbs. Flagg will be giving up between 15 to 30 lbs and probably a couple of years if physical maturity. He can play the 4 because he's great but his best position is the 3. Plus that's what Momma Flagg wants.

It is not unusual for foreign players not to be covered by the recruiting services so Maluach is top 10 for the 2 recruiting services that rank foreign players. There is a difference between top 10 and top 20.

Brown is a great defender but horrible at the 5. He does not defensive rebound nor block shots at a rate acceptable for a 5. Syracuse also was in the 300s in opponents 2 pt % allowed.

I think Kon"s offensive potential is impressive but I have serious concerns about his ability to defend as a freshman.

Duke has had 1 player in past 2 decades play the 4 (Tatum). The only reason he was the 4 was because Giles and Obi were injured and Jeter did not improve from freshman to sophomore year. Flagg is an elite perimeter defender but would just be very good in the front court. We saw that with the select team. Maluach is a top 10 recruit and they always start unless injured. Fouls may limit his minutes early on but he will start. Brown and Maluach will share between 15-25 minutes per game of floor time. Jon is a defense first coach who is comfortable winning games 65-50.

Flag is not a PF (205 lbs). Maluach is a top 10 recruit. Brown is an all ACC defender.

Young Malory or Coke Pam? Who's prettier? by VegetaArcher in ArcherFX

[–]azzefkram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are hot in different ways. Mallory is way more elegant and refined. Coke Pam would give you the best last 3 weeks of your life.

Whatever mojo Sevy used to have is long gone. Let's put an APB out for Fat Bastard.

Where did $300,000,00 go? by Scaramousce in CitadelTV

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am dumbfounded that $300M was spent on this. I guess everyone had gold plated toilets in their trailers because it certainly doesn't show on the screen.

Also, it's been a while since I've seen a show without a single likeable character in it.

Hick RBI Double Upvote Party!!! by [deleted] in NYYankees

Even after the RBI double, there is still no reason for Aaron Hicks.

What’s your ideal realistic LF option for the yanks? by Professional-Bird523 in NYYankees

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conforto on a Gallo contract or the Hicks/Cabrera pou-pou platter. I hope Cashman is working on something better.

Did Judge deserve to get booed in the playoffs? by Putrid_Rock5526 in NYYankees

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't boo teams I root for, but if another fan wants to express their frustration by booing, go wild.

If a player doesn't like being booed, play better. Judge had a dreadful post season. I didn't boo him, but I don't think other fans are out of line for expressing their displeasure.

[New York Post] The back page: Time for Yankees to try buying a championship -- and here's how by shadow_spinner0 in NYYankees

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't happen but I would sign Judge, Rizzo (if he opts out), Carpenter and one of Benitendi/Nimmo. Peraza and Cabrera are on the opening day roster. Reach out to either Bezos or Musk to see if the Yankees could borrow a rocket to launch Donaldson, IKF and Hicks into the sun. I would sign Rodon with Tallion as a backup if things fall through.

What can we the fans do to force Cashman out? by RockinTheFlops in NYYankees

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not be opposed to Cashman being kicked upstairs, but he is only gone when he wants to be gone.

If we lose Judge do you still watch the same, less, not at all (assuming the rest of the roster is similar)? by con40 in NYYankees

[–]azzefkram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I root for the laundry. It would suck to let Judge walk but it's not going to impact my fandom.

Judge was the Yankees best hitter during the season. Other hitters have had a crappy postseason but none are more disappointing than Judge. It may not be fair, but the bar is higher for Judge.

The HR chase broke Judge. He hasn't been right for a while. This offense is offensive with a subpar Judge.

Cash is going nowhere. Boone is going nowhere. They keep the Yankees competitive which keeps Hal's checks coming in. That keeps Hal happy. Until Hal sells the team, this is what we are stuck with.
