I think you're post agrees with my premise, right?

I legit expected some crazy vitriol from the pro-pane TANK crowd*, so I don't know how to take your post yet. :russ:















*Pro-pane Tank... Pro-Pain Tank... hmm... a great 76ers season thread title idea....:patrice:

Can I say something else?

Actually, I'm asking.

What does a young team do to help develop a player?

What is is about what Philly is doing that will help out their young players that will help them have a winning mentality and strong fundamentals?

I have yet to understand how, say, Andrew Wiggins would do better developing in Minny (2 years ago) than him developing under the 82 game tutelage of Lebron James.

I think the answer is in between your Wiggins example. IE KPs situation is perfect. Cause Wiggins on the Cavs these last two years could have stunted his growth ala Darko in Detroit. With the Cavs as desperate as they were for them to win, the amount of reps and the patience for mistakes may not have been there.

Being in a situation that's competitive with no SERIOUS expectations to win something significant is the perfect environment for a young player to grow on. Especially when you're paired with a star player who understands the need to nurture you as a player, something that "selfish" Melo does not get enough credit for seeing as he was the ONLY player looking to get KP touches for the first half of the season.

Breh...you speak no lies.


Remember how hype we were during the beginning of the season and at the same time infuriated by Afflalo and Calderon's refusal to pass to him?

And Fisher not playing him?

Melo publicly batted for the young gawd.


How about Kent Bazemore running up on Porzingis? And Melo jumping in the middle to let it know you aren't fukking with the family?


I'm happy Melo is here for dude. And with Noah... man, no one is touching Dirk Porzitzki.
