Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[#1 pick]

I liked D'Angelo. Wasnt mad at that pick at all. But I loved the potential of KP and wanted the Lakers to swing for the fences

However you want to slice it, he's in the discussion for MVP.

If you want to use the traditional MVP criterion, he's the best player (go-to scorer/closer, NBA champ, perennial all-star) on the best team (15-2 record on a 15-game winning streak).

If you want to use a more holistic criterion, see my previous post.

Al while not having a good game tonight should be the candidate but I already know, it won't be Al.

He's my favorite for DPOY. I think he's put himself on track for it based on his performance thus far.

Hey man I say roll that bad boy on in. See Cleveland will come off that Nets pick for DJ, can Doc, tank and hopefully in that top five of the draft and land a future superstar We'll be back in the mix in under a years time. No 4-5 year Philly type tank is needed cause we already got Blake and pieces but a one season tank and we good

Having watched enough of Embiid it's not his body that's the problem, it's the unnecessary risks he takes and how completely reckless he is on plays that he has no chance to make. That block attempt then hitting the basket stanchion after could have resulted in a broke back or neck it was so bad. He's clumsy but his lack of self preservation is shocking to be honest, I've never seen anyone put themselves at risk so much.

Kyrie has moved into the top tier of pgs. It’s him Russ and Steph. Wall all by himself in the second tier. Prob put Dame with him too

Russ's questionable BBALL IQ negates his all around talent. I have a strong feeling Russ is the real reason why KD left. He will never say it, but I think that's the case.

Be that as it may, he’s still a top tier pg. rebounding, on ball defense, PASSING, breaking down the defense. He’s a top dog

If you have watched all the Thunder games this season, his on ball defense leaves a lot to be desired. He constantly gets beat by his man and is always trying to go for steals and ends up getting burned. Sometimes he doesn't even try to contest or does a lazy contest. This is why I am shocked Russ has a reputation for being a great defender because watching him from last year and watching the games this year has showed me the complete opposite.

Harden and Scurry are in a league of their own at the pg position. Give it a week or two and it'll be 2 Rockets at 1&2.

And Gordon is number 2 for SG
