they need to be giving DJ wilson some tick too...got a athletic big who can shoot it a lil bit and he don't see the floor until garbage time:francis:

him & Giannis could cause teams some problems
Yea I like Wilson too he's got a lot of potential offensively once he grows in to his body a little more then he'll be nice. Their depth is just crazy that guys like Connaughton and Wilson don't get to play much. But I like Ilyasova dude's pretty underrated and they need the Lopez bro's size so it's hard for Wilson to crack the lineup right now.

With Divincenzo emerging I'm surprised a team hasn't tried to scoop up Connaughton. He's an elite rebounding guard, great athlete and size for a guard, good shooter, would get you a steal and a block every game with a starting/6th man type role, can guard 1-3 and run your offense at times if needed. He hasn't shown he can be a volume scorer yet but he's always pretty passive because he thinks he has to be imo, if he had a bigger role and someone was telling him to score all the time then he can give you 20 easy

He wouldn't give Bron that kind of credit, but he going say Luka smh
Jimmy Butler wrote this in his players tribune article. @smitty22 receipts :whoo:
The 5 Toughest Players I’ve Ever Guarded | By Jimmy Butler

LeBron James, Positionless, Los Angeles Lakers

I didn’t want to talk about LeBron here. I really didn’t. I wanted to give some other guys some shine.

But you can’t have a 5 Toughest list and not have LeBron on it.

He’s still the best all-around player in the league. He literally does everything well. He can shoot. Pass. Attack the rim. Defend. You need a bucket? LeBron’s got you. You need a rebound, a steal or a block? He’s got you. Whatever you need, whenever you need it.

Bron’s got you.

When you talk about a combination of speed and athleticism, plus a combo of strength and explosiveness, you gotta start with LeBron. He’s one of the most dynamic players this league has ever seen. He can literally play every position on the court and be elite at all of them. That makes him a matchup nightmare because the smaller, faster guys can’t body up with him — he just overpowers them — and the bigger guys who can bang with him in the post aren’t quick enough to keep him from getting to the rim.

He’s always looking to get other guys involved, too. He’ll defer to his teammates and play unselfish basketball, and then when it’s time to win the game and be LeBron, he miraculously puts the cape on and … BAM!

Game’s over.

He’s one of those guys you want to match up with because you measure yourself against him. Like, if you can best LeBron, you’re doing something right.

P.G. County
When he first got his mohawk look back when he was with the Bulls, there was no fade or blend whatsoever.

You can tell he got his hair cut at Bo Rics or someplace

Buckets been simping for Taylor Swift since he became a well known player in the league. Has an affinity for Country Music and good friends with Mark Wahlberg..


He’s done nothing egregious to get the :mjpls: label but he definitely isn’t

His favorite artist is Luke Bryan

The hoop earrings in both ears said something to me.

Dude has the highest vertical ever in NBA history :dwillhuh:, yes, a real wtf moment
44 inch vertical leap is not the highest in NBA history.

However just vertical leap alone does not make you a great dunker. Shannon Brown had crazy hops and that fool sucked in the dunk contest real bad.

For some reason I think he's gonna pick one of Jordan Kilganon dunks and try to make it NBA, ending up in Chris Anderson way of repeating the dunk over and over again :russ:
