I was wondering how Wiggins got 19 and I see he was on that line like Harden, he must be getting more aggressive. I mean, I can only imagine since these *Ray J voice* PUNK FAKKITS, didn't make it viewable. Wanted to finally see the damn Wolves play smh

Jabari Parker looking to ascend, you can tell. Still made he tore his knee up, you could tell he was about to ascend THEN--but it's going to come this year.

Kristaps Porzingis needs to get more touches

:ehh: I mean it is a decent comparison,but Lavine is what 20? he got lots of time to get better

Gerald green is a horrendous comparison for lavine. Lavine is already better than green has ever been. Better jumper, better handles, clutch as hell, and on par athletically. Just overall much more advanced skillset at the same age and even now if you compare the two. At absolute worst, he is a much more athletic jamal crawford. At his best, his game is a mix of kobe and a mini-tmac especially with his tough shot making ability. The better-shooting westbrook comparison was legit when he was first coming in, but he doesn't have that brutal/aggressive mindset. I honestly think he should be option number 2 behing KAT offensively. Wiggins has abslutely zero shot creating ability unless it's in the post. He's very rigid/mechanical athletically, has average or below average handles, cannot create for others, and his stats other than points are very pedestrian for a 6'8-9" SF. Lavine is the best individual shot creator/maker on the team, and at least can sometimes create for others. If he had the same green light to create/shoot/score as wiggins has had, he would put up 20+ easy and likely more efficiently with greater variety of shots. The only thing I don't like is that for as athletic as he is, he doesn't attack the rim as much as he's capable of, especially consider he has one of the higher % rates for guard finishing at the cup. He has pretty much everything you look for out of a potential superstar SG.

Yeah 20,21 outside of athleticism nothing stands out. He's not bad at anything but he's not really great at anything either

See above.

Im talking about potential wise. Ive got nothing bad 2 say about towns at all. Lavine and Wiggins showed alot of being stagnant last year. They say it usually shows by year 3 so im expecting them to prove yall right this year and im very aware that i may be very wrong but i see better flashes and complementary pieces from other squads

Lavine was played out of position and yo-yo'ed back and forth between PG/SG and could never really settle into what his role was the first year and a half. You will see a significant jump now that he's playing exclusively at SG.

How's Houston look :lupe:

I only caught the last few minutes of it.

But as far as their season outlook, I expect them to compete for one of the lower seeds. I think people talking about a top 3 seed are getting a little too carried away, their defense is suspect and they have no depth.

Harden is gonna get all the usage he can handle though. It wouldn't shock me if he led the league in points, assists and turnovers

Im on the Lavine wagon,I think dude compared him to Gerald Green because their both light skinned,can jump and shoot 3's.but as I said Lavine will pass up Green,shyt he might already have.

I also am in that group that if Lavine had as many opportunities as Wiggins he'd do better.
