I fully expect Doncic to be a good starter in the league but I’d probably enjoy it more if busted just to see the juelz’ing from his hypemen

 

[hysteria416]

Stay Away! 1 Prospect Every Team Should Avoid in 2018 NBA Draft

Chicago Bulls (7, 22): Michael Porter Jr.


The Chicago Bulls have suffered long and hard through injury and drama

There was the whole choking incident with Vinnie Del Negro and the injury-riddled Bulls in the Tom Thibodeau era that prematurely seemed to curtail the careers of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. That was accompanied by drama with Thibodeau and the front office.

After they traded Rose to the New York Knicks, the beef between Jimmy Butler and Fred Hoiberg took center stage.

When they hit the reset button last summer and dealt Jimmy Butler to the Minnesota Timberwolves, one of the key pieces they brought back was Zach LaVine, who was recovering from a torn ACL and played only 24 games last year.

They knew what they were getting into with LaVine, but he still missed more than half the season and was playing himself back into shape in the second half. He's also still an unknown commodity, even in terms of where he will play next year.

While the Bulls own his restricted free-agency rights, if another team offers him too much, it could put the Chicago in a bind.

The last thing the Bulls need is another star with health questions or someone who will inflict more drama.

Michael Porter Jr. could have the most upside of anyone in this draft. If he hadn't missed all but three games this season recovering from a microdiscectomy, he would've almost certainly been a top-three pick. But he could also have a short career because of injury issues.

He would be a polarizing pick with the already frustrated and increasingly disinterested Chicago fanbase. The Bulls need someone who would generate excitement, not drama.

They talkin bout the Bulls should avoid drafting MPJ

Edit: It should be noted that in the same article it says both the Suns AND the Kings should avoid Deandre Ayton

Quit comparing Sexton to Bledsoe they are absolutely nothing alike,Sexton doesn't compare to Bledsoe in college or now.

Sexton is a solid built 6'1 185
Bledsoe was a football built 6'1 192 coming out of U.K. And now is even bigger in the league at 200lbs

Sexton is not an elite athlete,he's a very good one,Bledsoe was an ELITE athlete and used his strength way more than Sexton,Bledsoe knew how to use his built,Sexton doesn't

Sexton is a better off the dribble shooter,while Bledsoe was a better spot up shooter.

Their drives to the basket,passing,etc is nothing alike

Bledsoe defense was downright incredible,Colin's is decent

Colin will be a good player,but I don't know why he keeps getting compared to Bledsoe they are nothing alike,at all.

Not that this matters to some people but I do think Sexton has the intangibles advantage. He's much more mentally sharp than Bledsoe ever was, if this counts for anything.

I think Sexton is a hard sell for teams in the top 10 because they have no idea what they're gonna get, but I think he's still gonna be very good.

he dont wanna play in that market
i get it

I agree with this somewhat Sexton definitely thinks the game a bit more,while Bledsoe still today just relies on strength and athleticism.

I think Sexton will be a fine back up,not an AllStar,he doesn't have that athletic ability they say he does in my opinion

 

[CarltonJunior]

I don't know if my mind is fukking with me or not but I can't tell if this is a 2 or 3 because it's a one legged stepback behind the 3 point line

 

[Kings County]

did he just crossover, 1 arm, fadeaway layup that bytch
