Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[Malta]

Has any team mismanaged a stockpile of young talent worse than the Magic in recent years?

Hennigan got the ultimate free pass, nobody seems to question his job security.

i guess minny needs to make the playoffs but i don't see how getting swept by the warriors is going to do them more good than a lottery pick

Nah, they are one of the youngest teams in the league that seemingly has their 1-5 set with lottery picks already, making the playoffs is the natural step for them. Next year they can consolidate some of the talent and try to bring in some vets to add to what they do this year.

Kings/Sixers game , 3PM Pacific time , already started

No Embid though

 

[CarltonJunior]

I do. Mainly because I don't think he's capable of producing in the league for the first couple of years. That kid is a project compared to guys like Fultz and Smith and Jackson.

He's this year's Dragan Bender.

Dragan averaged like 5 PPG and 3 RPG before being drafted. Isaac is a consistent double-double guy, 6'10, and has shown potential to create for himself off the dribble, he's way less of a project than Bender.

Even with all that said he's not a top 3 pick in this draft

Dragan played scant minutes against much stronger comp at 17. Isaac is a project simply because physically he has no business in the NBA. He's that puny but he's gonna play against NBA 3's and 4's? He's skilled but he's a rag doll.

At worst he's 2016-17 Brandon Ingram

As long as he goes to a team that's willing to play him decent minutes in his rookie year I think he'll be perfectly fine

You think he goes before Tatum?

You think he goes before Tatum?

Probably, but I'm just guessing. Nobody outside of Kennard from Duke has really impressed me

That's the one I'm struggling with when comparing those two and who should go first. But yeah at this point not sure any Duke player has raised their stock but Kennard.

I don't know who that team is. Brooklyn woulda been that team but shyt happened.

EDIT: Chicago would too if they trade Butler

 

[LezJepzin]

So this happened this time in Philly

 

[holidayinn21]

He's not. And let's keep it 100. Nobody has been as bad as he's been yet been so successful at it. The Grizzlies are the biggest outlier in sports.

As long as he keeps the casual, Core 4 Fan base happy, this clown is gonna keep a job, despite his awful history.

Now he cuts Troy Williams(who will be a player in the league. Watch) because he thought having two rookie PG's was a good idea. Gives Parsons the deal without doing his medical homework. Gives Conley the full max for no reason, leaving the team with no more cap space to get more scoring. Complete dumbass of a GM.
