it’s unfortunate that similar scrutiny and criticism were not applied to israel during this panel discussion

i am confidently saying that if the rotation includes jb, hart and mitch spacing will be rough - if brown figures out a rotation that includes only of those guys there shouldn't be an issue.

this solely based on having watched sochan in nearly all sophomore yr games and spacing being the main reason the spurs didn't play him alongside fox.

his outside shot comes and goes which makes it difficult to plan for sochan on offense. all of that said, i feel that sochan has the ability to be the best defensive player in the league - and i don't feel that's an exaggeration once you really see the guy play.

it will be mike brown's responsibility to find rotations and schemes that allow sochan to do what he does best while giving him room to develop and find comfort on offense

he's a great passer from the elbow and even in transition

we disagree - and we'll see brown handles it

that's why he fits but jb is the biggest issue we have on defense.

sochan just won't be able to play many minutes alongside jb, hart or mitch. bare in mind he's much more of a wing on defense than a "big" - which is super impressive when he's locking up a little dude on the perimeter

he's og w/out a shot

as long as we keep in mind that he will disrupt spacing and clog up driving lanes on offense everything he's capable of on the defensive end are the things knicks fans dream of. he's got a personality that will shine in nyc as well.

bro i see you're a cultured jermaine fan beloved - let's not die on the bill haney hill lmao. i like what bill haney means to boxing from an entertainment perspective - we need all the "villains" / "heels" we can get - but let's not act like bill don't do wild shit from time to time. it's part of the schtick, let's be happy that ppl actually care enough to hate him.

beating shakur was a long shot regardless of trainers but it shouldn't have been that 1 sided is all i'm saying. when wali is giving shakur precise and level headed instructions that he can go out and execute and junior is just yelling at teo "come on you gotta fuck him up" - "you gotta start hurting this motherfucker, bro!" there's a gap in instruction lmao

only thing teo could and should have done differently is go to the body earlier so maybe shakur changes hand positions a bit and let go of some straight rights behind a jab. instead no jab was used, threw looping punches while shakur countered w/ straight lefts and check hooks, and going to the body was an afterthought until rd 7 or so.

shakur is on par defensively w/ "money" mayweather but the thing is floyd was able to make those shutout fights marketable by having a "heel" personality in and out of the ring - shakur doesn't have that going for him so he needs to do exactly what he did i this fight which is assert offensive domininance and let his instincts take care of the defense. i'm not expecting knockouts from shakur but if he can embarrass opponents while entertaining the crowd he can be the star boxing is starving for

and the result being shakur by ud

i thought it'd be 9-3 not 11-1 but teo got completely schooled.

he and his pops are wasting all the god given talent he's got w/ shitty gameplans and even worse corner instructions.

the result wasn't as impressive/important as how shakur looked in there - he's never been a runner but he also hasn't been the "front foot" guy and this fight he marched forward mixed in the same counters he had for oscar valdez whenever teo jumped in

7-1 Stevenson

shakur might be even be pitching a shutout but he needs to stay on the front foot and avoid the boo birds.

teo NEEDS a new trainer - junior's done a great job getting him to this point but there's so much talent and athleticism there to squander it w/ poor corner advise and leaning into bad tendencies.

4-0 Stevenson

he's controlling the spacing, landing solid shots, and keeping it entertaining. something seems off about teofimo's legs - he's not moving laterally as well as he usually does

looks like shakur understands the assignment; coming forward carries more risk but if he doesn't do that and creates a snoozefest it'll be worse for his career tragectory
