They let GS get this nikka?

Son is a legit beast on D

unsure of why Frank Jackson declared, i guess he knew Duke was getting a pure point in, but man he slipped way past his HS ranking. could be a slick move by NO he might turn into somethin

Sixers should have kept Evans, like the Trimble signing tho

A poor man's kyle korver basically

Nah, he is closer to Redikk . What you don't see is how Kennard is very slick with his footwork and handles. He's not gonna cross anyone but if you chase him off the 3pt like he will drive and pull up which is something Korver doesn't do well.

He also is great in pick and roll scenarios and has good court vision, so he makes some ridiculous passes.

He's non existent on D though, so you will need to hide him

I think he has his mind made up and with Duval and Allen, he probably didntbthink he'd get much more to showcase himself.

No, I'm comparing the talent on your team vs the talent on the Sixers. They have more talent, some of which you were fiending for before they were drafted by another team, you had Simmons & Fultz as your number 1 players until the Sixers drafted them.

I couldn't care less if the C's were the 1 seed, yall got utterly mopped.

So if Philly is more talented than Boston why didn't they make the playoffs last year?

interesting draft....some teams did damn good like the kings, sixers, & minny...some teams did good like port, lakers, suns, hornets...and some teams did jack shyt like bos, ny, and chi (although i like the white guy from AZ)....gonna be interesting to see how teams develop/grow if they are kept together....

will say: if i'm the suns, i'm on the phone right now talking to phil...as much as i like josh and think he gonna be a baller in the league for years, i'm offering him, bledsoe, and a 2nd round pick to ny for portzinges (sp)....just to try...even if they turn it down, the suns will still be good....but they could be better if the knicks accept it...

Boston had a great draft, are you kidding me . They picked tatum , who could play a small ball pF and they got a 1st rounder in the 2nd round with Semi O...that pick makes it an A draft for them

 

[Kang Deezy]

Those harsh realities when he finds out that Celtics will barely sniff the top 4 in seeding next year

I'd be shocked if we aren't top two.

Washington can't get better, Toronto is about to lose Lowry and Milwaukee gonna run back the same team

Meanwhile we add a top 3 pick and hopefully either Blake or Gordon

 

[Kang Deezy]

A #1 seed that didn't even look like they belonged on the same court as the Cavs.

You guys aren't a title contender and when your young players are ready the majority of players that got you this #1 seed are going to be old and gone from the team. The 2018 brooklyn pick, Tatum, and other picks haven't played a single game yet either.

Neither has any of these supposed future superstars in Philly

This right here is potentially a very good signing dude plays hard and can block shots...Wouldn't be surprised if he's another diamond in the rough.

I think the 76ers have a "potentially" more talented roster...But potential means nothing if it isn't fulfilled...Or if the players are missing one of the key abilities called availability.

Jaylen has a one year head start on simmons and Jaylen definitly has more of an eye of the tiger than simmons

If I had any confidence embiid can play 60 games in the regular season or stay healthy for a deep playoff run then maybe...

And Tatum could be better than fultz we don't know that

That's why I said potentially you just never know with these things especially health...

Josh Jackson is going to be great in Phoenix. Rookie year he'll probably come off the bench and fill the role PJ Tucker had. He won't be asked to do too much right away. TJ Warren will start and it will be his contract year so he better ball out.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

Tatum plays exactly like George

 

[LurkMoar]

he's a thug right?

Hell nah breh you know my shyt was just jokes

If he has any incidents here im sure these cacs will turn on him with the quickness tho, we both know that.
