If the Pelicans take Bol Bol over Hunter they doing this all wrong, they don’t have a SF on the roster as good as him and Jrue and Hunter defensively could be nice from day one. I think Minny would take him
Because they see Wiggins as a 2 and the Grizzlies or Cavs. I don’t see the Cavs taking Reddish because of the personality stuff.

Other than that I really like what you did for most twans
I left out wings for NO purposely because I presume once NO trades Davis, they’re getting a starting wing back in either Tatum /Brown or Ingram. Otherwise I don’t put Bol Bol that high

Garland is a REACH. Crafty guard but not a Lotto pick. He didn't even play enough games.

RJ Barrett is just Tim Hardaway Jr/Terrence Ross. I don't even get his hype.

NEW YORK—Insisting that he could easily lure several free agents into giving up their hopes for a championship, Knicks president Steve Mills confirmed Tuesday that he was confident the team had the requisite cap space to ruin two or three promising careers this offseason. “After making moves at the trade deadline to position ourselves, we are poised to sign at least two franchise players who will squander the prime of their careers here,” said Mills, who noted that the 2019 free agency class was “absolutely loaded” with superstar players that could blow out their knees, feud with the front office, or languish in a coaching system that doesn’t fit their talents. “If we play our cards right, we might even be able to convince three marquee players to take a pay cut, surround them with marginal talent, then have them wallow in the dregs of the Eastern conference for the next half decade and never return to their former levels.

He doesn’t even play like either player you compared him too, he’s a slasher that can shoot decently. The comp is a very young Harden who had to learn to become the decision maker he is today.

Is this the most random reaching ass stat line ever used to pump up a player on TV :heh: Thad Young, one of the greats :wow:


Lol yeah the whole "ESPN stats mean nothing" trope is a little overblown at this point because some of them are actually impressive or insightful. But ones like this should trigger a :comeon: from anyone based on the fact that they made the criteria "at least 13.5 points" just to include Thad when every other guy on the list put up like 25+ :laugh:
