Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

people don't wanna hear about this side of boogie, dude is super generous and nice in real life. He's the type that will pay for someones groceries or buy some kids toys. Does it all the time with no recognition for it

 

[42 Monks]

Lamb a BEAST

does he play like this every night?

He runs the offense now.

 

[KOBE]

they need to clean up front office and put young players around him. He play with a bunch of uninspired players who are just doing it for a check.

they traded two lottery picks for jrue holiday.


they had their twin towers with noel and davis for about 5 seconds before i learned they traded him. that would have been a dominant front court for the ages.

Nobody has ever loved the mid range jumper like LaVine

these dudes are always hurt they could careless about playing as long as they get their 10 mil a year

 

[young3000]

Batum a #1 option now

 

[The War Report]

This dude Rubio stays hurt. It's time for Minnesota to move on from him.


Lavine looks he grew up watching nothing but Iverson highlights and tried to emulate that style of play to no avail.

y'all can't complain about them always having injured players and then say they shoulda took a toothpick big man fresh off a torn ACL

As we know the NBA salary cap will increase somewhat dramatically over the next few years. Meanwhile European teams are still working with the same budgets. No doubt certain Euro teams are rich and some guys just prefer to play in Europe but due to the rising cap (as well as the relative success of guys like Nemanja Bjelica) i can certainly see NBA teams going out on a limb and taking a risk on more overseas players. 3 mil a year is a huge salary in Europe but is only a grain in the sand in the NBA today.
So with that said here are some of the best young players currently in Europe. I'm not saying all of these guys will play in the NBA or even deserve to but they are just some names to watch.

*Note: Patric Young (of Florida Gator fame) may have been the best prospect out in Europe right now and he was absolutely dominant early on in Euro League but he just tore his ACL a few days ago.

I listed the player's birthdate and for the player's that it applies I also added the NBA team that owns their draft rights

Alex Abrines 8/1/93 (Thunder)
Bojan Dubjlevic 10/24/91 (Wolves)
Kenny Gabriel 7/3/89
Arturas Gudaitis 6/19/93 (76ers)
Allesandro Gentile 11/12/92 (Rockets)
Justin Hamilton 4/1/90
Willy Hernangomez 5/27/94 (Knicks)
Thomas Heurtel 4/10/89
Tyler Honeycutt 7/15/90
Alex Kirk 11/14/91
Kyle Kuric 8/25/89
Luka Mitrovic 3/21/93 (Kings)
Alen Omic 5/6/92
Kevin Pangos 1/26/93
Nikola Radicevic 4/25/94 (Nuggets)
Dario Saric 4/8/94 (76ers)
Tomas Satoransky 10/30/91 (Wizards)
Janis Timma 7/2/92 (Magic)
Jan Vesely 4/24/90
Aaron White 9/10/92 (Wizards)
Okaro White 9/13/92
Nate Wolters 5/15/91

Some of those guys (like Doobie) have crazy contracts that don't allow for opt outs.

well they traded for a point guard who already had injury problems, so that's kind of moot.


noel was the best prospect available and fell into their lap. they rushed a rebuild to try to win now, due to getting a new owner, rather than trying to rebuild properly around davis. there's reasons to complain when they do shyt like that.

It's hilarious (in a sad sense) how well Lamb looks when given adequate minutes and a proper role.

 

[BXKingPin82]

WHO ARE THESE HORNETS?!?!?!

This kid Batum

I didnt know he was nice like that

 

[Flight]

Lavine looks he grew up watching nothing but Iverson highlights and tried to emulate that style of play to no avail.

I'm not sure the severity of his hamstring injury but this is starting to get ridiculous in regards to Rubio constantly being hurt.
