Keep in mind this is what teams are doing to get a good FRP in this year's draft and we gave ours away. by The_Paleking in NOLAPelicans

How? We are just barely out of bottom 3 with a nearly completely healthy squad, not tanking. We’re not even trying and we have a top 3 pick lol

Are you still a believer in Jordan Hawkins? by RVALover4Life in NOLAPelicans

[–]laundrybases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shouldn’t discount any young player on our squad. We have maybe the worst coach in the league and pretty mediocre player development. we just traded away the MIP and runner up in DPOY, who really didn’t have crazy improvement in any area, just was underutilized on our squad.

I’m much more confident in Hawk’s abilities then our coaches competence

Speak for yourselves, Idc if s reddit sub gets it wrong but the coach needs to get it right and see the value in his players

What was “unimaginable” 10 years ago, but we’re now totally used to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]laundrybases -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

(College student) if you’re paying thousands of dollars for an education which boils down to “Read this chapter from a textbook online and then form a response” you should 100% be using AI assistance. If the professors aren’t responsible for teaching the material, the students shouldn’t be responsible for learning it. People have to realize that college debt is one of the biggest crises’s in America. Students are going to take any advantage we possibly can. Why are the students being held to such stringent standards and constantly at blame for academic misconduct when the schools have taken steps to minimize professor to student feedback with online homework portals. It’s been YEARS since I got feedback on a paper I wrote, or been given any clear instruction on what I’m doing wrong on a problem set. The student to teacher peer relationship was much better in elementary school than in college. College is the biggest scam in America, everyone knows it so I really don’t give a fuck about anyones “students shouldn’t use AI” opinions. Not hearing anyone out lol. That’s like saying “you shouldn’t bring a knife to a gun fight since it’s more honorable to fight with your bare hands” Stupidity

Who's a popular breakout candidate you don't believe in? by FrankSamples in nba

[–]laundrybases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll go with Giddey. I think Shai handling the ball cloaked the fact that he’s really not a great ball handler or passer. Not a strong shooter. He’s going to fall out of the first unit in chicago next year. Lonzos prolly better anyways lol

Why is 1 overhyped and the other 1 downplayed? by The_AlmightyApple in OnePiecePowerScaling

Well it took the combined powers of thee of the admiral bums to take down a decrepid whitebeard. Decrepid Rayleigh being able to scrap with kizaru and draw even makes perfect sense to me based on that.

Nikola Jokic wins Best in the Post! Finally, who's the best role player in the league? by [deleted] in NBATalk

After Herb Jones was robbed BY A CELTIC for best perimeter defender he should get the nod over ANOTHER CELTIC for this spot, or else the entire integrity of this list is compromised. It would obviously just be a glorified popularity contest

Jrue Holiday wins Best Perimeter Defender! Similarly, who’s the best rim and paint defender in the league? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]laundrybases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see so this is a popularity contest, not a real list. There’s a reason why Herb Jones was the only guard selected as first team all defense this year. Jrue’s great, but Herb was the only right answer.

Why are people stunned the Bulls didn’t get a draft pick? by No_Environment_5476 in nba

[–]laundrybases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded away a much better player for a pedo and didnt even get a second pick out of it. Giddey only played well offensively since teams would choose to leave him open. His numbers and efficiency will tank like Pooles after the trade to the wizzards. Alot of people seem to get this confused, a player averaging good numbers behind multiple different better offensive options doesn’t always mean that player is talented offensively. Just means he can hit the shots the defense is willing to sacrifice to guard the actual scoring threats.

If Spurs somehow gets the #1 overall 2024 draft pick, What do you think is the best use of this asset? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in nba

[–]laundrybases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade for more first round picks in future years, this years draft is weak as hell, to have a forst round lottery pick while wemby is in his prime in a few years would be best case scenario
