Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

Pretty sure the Grizzlies haven't made a good draft pick since Mike Conley

He said that shoulder injury is why he's shooting with that form. They may as well just rest him.



I mean we knew he would handle the ball a lot obviously but shyt I anticipated both of them bringing the ball up and setting up the offense in half court. I didn't anticipate Fultz being in the corner and rarely handling when Ben is in the game.

Philly franchise is cursed with all these guys they select first. All these guys have injuries in their rookie years that sideline them for some time or just take them out for the year. Either these dudes bodies are Charmin soft or they need a new training and medical staff.

How does Jackson not fit?

You don't "adjust" to a bad fit. Fultz, a PnR guard, shouldn't have been taken if they knew Ben was their guy.

If you pick Jackson then Saric comes off the bench. It can work offensively because Jackson doesnt demand the ball and he's been much better shooting the ball than most expected, but Saric is a better shooter to have out there with Simmons. Plus Saric is more of a natural 4 at 6'10 so if he starts that allows Simmons to fall into his natural position (IMO) at 3, he can spend less energy fighting for boards, protecting the paint, providing weak side help, setting screens and focus on what he does best which is offense.

And you do adjust to bad fits. Superstars do it when they team up, somebody sacrifices. It's just that Fultz is being asked to do it earlier in his career

As much as I like Wade, I really don't see him as more than just a scanty SG upgrade to JR. But, maybe I'm wrong tho.

he isn’t really an upgrade

 

[King Musa]

he isn’t really an upgrade

I figured much...JR doesn't belong on the bench.

Idk man Saric not really a good 3 pt shooter IMO and probably best suited as a 6th man

And Ben's rebounding and overall defensive ability bout the only things I like from him outside of his vision

At the end of the day, they took who they took and we just have to hope it doesn't stunt the youngin's development track

any of us?

They Haven't

Nick Collison top 5 end of the bench guy all time

I was about to ask "why is Michael Phelps in a White Men Can't Jump tribute?"

 

[Shadow King]

so many teams are gonna be paying the lux.

I'm gonna refrain from specifying, but if you have 2-3 players worth a max, get ready to shell out some major money. If 3 players are worth 30% of your cap EACH, how do you plan on filling out a roster?


In 2 years trade armageddon is coming.

You have a team or 2 in mind

Re:Baldwin. He was bad. I mean, he wasn't even average on any one skill. We have a bunch of mediocre young players, and he was by far the worst. But more than anything else, he has the worst attitude I've seen in the league in about a decade. Completely unlikable. He called himself "Westbrook with some modifications." Someone on the team gave him a black eye last season. I would've given him at least another half season to figure it out, but I can't say it was the wrong decision.

Re:Drafting. Yeah, that all bum ass Chris Wallace. I'll leave it at that.

for as bad as GarPax have been, and they have been reallllly bad, they have managed the cap very well

if they continue to be patient, should be able to eat good one of the next two summers

Their best draft pick since then has never ever played a game for them

Kevin Love.
