Makes this season and KPs injury even more frustrating. We either needed to be complete trash right out the gate, or as bad as this sounds, for KP to get hurt earlier.

Definitely, agreed.

If KP had gone down earlier, he would have been back earlier next season as well :francis: It's still very early but not hearing as much hype for the 2019 draft class as this upcoming one. On the bright side, at least next season we'll get a head start on the tanking :francis::mjcry:

You can pencil in another loss tonight, but I'm anxious to see Burke out there. The way he's shooting can't be sustained for long I think, but I'm hoping his three ball isn't a fluke at least. I wanna see him play a little bit better defense too.

I think he's gonna regress, too, but he's exceeded my expectations. He takes a lot of contested mid range jumpers (>50% of FGA), hitting at a 57% rate which is just under Steph Curry territory. Burke still hardly gets to the line or finishes at the basket enough for me to buy into his efficiency as of now. Gonna need a bigger sample size to determine if this scoring is legit or not.
