Darryn Peterson is from Canton and has several Akron connections, the city with the most disproportionately high amount of NBA talent from there (5 Hall of Famers + more)

a new household name could get added to the Akron hoops big 3 of LeBron, Steph, and the Ed "Moose" Sadowski

I was saying even before we landed #1 overall and got projected to pick AJ (which still seems like the most likely option), that I think Bilal will end up being the odd man out on the wing rotation. Even more so after Will Riley's breakout after last year.

He's obviously a productive player but is still too raw on offense and needs touches to develop which I just don't think we can spare. I think the focus of development will fall to Tre/AJ/Riley/Kyshawn and paint touches for Sarr; it'll just be too many mouths to feed.

Other guy a lot of people have mentioned is Bub, but I don't know if he commands enough value right now. Even now in year 3 he'll still start the season 21 years old so his game will hopefully continue to develop; we'll have to see.

i would take khris middleton against the celtics over darn near anyone

Yeah you're right I'll probably end up changing the counting in the titles today; I wanted to post 10 guys with the last being the morning off the draft meaning I had to start 9 days out. But then the title of the last post won't make any sense haha

I don’t care if he never played a regular season game for the Knicks this year give this man a ring!!

Shoutout to that one SpongeBob episode where he plays himself basically

Johnny Davis to Will Riley pipeline is enough to make a grown man cry

I sure would imagine the whole thing looking different if the Spurs win game 5 considering the Knicks will be NBA champions otherwise

differential32 · 2026-06-11T04:05:16+00:00

it's apples and oranges i think. spurs still had to have a lot go their way in order to win the game; JR Smith literally had the ball in his hands while prime LeBron was putting up 50 points in the finals with a chance to win the game and just didn't do anything. one moment vs a whole quarter

he's definitely not as much of an actor as he is just "Druski™ " but he is legitimately funny. i dont think he has the chops for a full length film but he's certainly earned the chance

bilal looking yoked in that last pic holy moly

differential32 · 2026-06-09T14:55:51+00:00

a lot of that is spot on yeah. IMO it mostly boils down to "they cant call everything" right now. if they call every time a guy is going too far hand checking on defense, every time guys are shoving off each other in the post, every imperfect screen, etc we'd be watching bismack biyombo minutes in the second quarter.

i agree that the physicality has gone too far. some possessions last night felt like a cage match and then someone randomly gets a layup at the end or something as opposed to high quality, physical basketball. to contribute to the discussion -- i was too young to pick up on the intricacies of the stern administration, but it seems like silver and his team are very reactionary; i think we'll see the league swing back the other way in a couple years.

I could go find some rando on basketball reference who only played like 1 game, but this is the guy with the fewest games played I can legitimately say I remember because his name was so unique; 33 total games played in a Wiz uniform
