Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

Gobert What a steal he turned out to be

I'm shocked he slipped through the cracks like this; yeah he's a late bloomer in some ways but his dad was a pro baller, he has the largest wingspan in combine history, and this is the same league that thought fellow European Nikoloz Tskitishvili was a lottery pick

He had a knee injury during the combine which made his athletic results they should have factored that in, but that 2013 draft basically the 1 and 2 players went outside the lottery (Giannis/Rudy)

[Mr. McDowell]

Gonna make a prediction that this next contract Blake signs is his last one. Having a hard time seeing those knees lasting another 5 seasons.

Damn so he's out for the year?

I see the troll smiley but when it comes to Blake you might see a "minor" surgery become season ending later on. Dude's body is breaking down on him early.

Referees and their egos

I do give them slack, because, you never know how bad players may treat them

But, their heads too big

...Trade looming...?

[Tony D'Amato]

Gonna make a prediction that this next contract Blake signs is his last one. Having a hard time seeing those knees lasting another 5 seasons.

He's gonna be like 28 and sign 1 of those 200milli deals w/ somebody, so yeah, he's probably done after that contract. He's still athletic as hell, its just his leaping ability doesn't seem to be there like b4.

I actually came here to complain about him disappearing in the 4th qtr of gms

@pete clemenza same ole shyt. They'll win w/o him and he'll go emo again.

What's crazy is this dude knee been hurting for like a month, but Doc playing him 38mins

The lottery being bad makes the draft seems worse than what it is

The lottery being bad makes the draft seems worse than what it is

If they re-did the lottery it would look like -

1. Giannis
2. Gobert
3. McCollum
4. Adams
5. Porter
6. Oladipo
7. Nerlens
8. Schroder
9. KCP
10. Len
11. Zeller
12. Crabbe
13. Mike Muscala
14. Dieng


It's not that bad of a draft, like you said though, the best players went outside the lottery.
