I do watch the games. Doubling a player is a risk/reward strategy. If the player being doubled isn't able to consistently anticipate it coming and find the open man and make the defense pay for trying to double him, and on top of that turns the ball over, then it's a reward for the defense that outweighs the potential risk. THAT'S why Embiid gets doubled so often compared to other star players. You watch the Nuggets at all in the playoffs? Teams have to be selective when attempting to double Jokic because he makes them pay for it. If they double him too often, he finds the open man and it turns into points.And that's why Joel now, predominantly, plays at the nail because they can't double him there. That's where Joker plays almost exclusively for the majority of his peak years so he definitely can't get doubled.
For his career in the playoffs, Embiid has 182 assists to 218 turnovers. Jokic has 712 assists to 311 turnovers.
Morey looks to have added Broome, Watford and now Walker who can all play minutes at the 4
hopefully one of them breaks out?
have to remeber Aluma is about 27 now so he should have stood out against players 5 or 6 years younger?
I did not like the pick... Knowing that Joel is on his last leg... This pick was more about FIT, ROLE, and COMPLIMENTARY... I just can't see VJ being the #1 option down the road... Those are the types of picks you desire...
I wanted a player that would make you want to move on from Joel... Someone who had the potential to be a STAR-SUPERSTAR...
We did draft Joel at 3 if you recall... I think he will bring some of the things we lost with Thybulle and Ben defensively... I'm not sure to what level in the NBA until we see it... I'm afraid he's going to be #12 in the corner... The ball swings and brick... I hope working on his midgame, free throw, and 3 point shot is a must... I believe he will be a really great slasher type of player... If you would of told me we got this guy where we drafted Maxey and McCain... But 3 seems high... It's like he was the emergency WTF we gonna do now that Ace has cancelled... I just believe we lost value, because he's not a real #3 pick IMHO... It's a weird draft class to me... Even my boy Kon Knueppel went 4... I lost more respect for Morey not trading down and settling... You can say what you want, WE SETTLED... But hey, lets see how it goes... Summer League is around the corner...
Overall, I give them a B-. I give them an A- on VJ although I would’ve preferred them trading down a couple of slots and picking up future draft Or a young athletic link with some length.
Not liking the short center high up in the second round, so that’s a C. I would’ve preferred them to be aggressive and go after the Creighton kid or if they were gonna stay there, take the French center
It's fortunate for you that your pea sized brain can only remember the few things I got wrong.
Tell us again about how EE was so easy that you had to switch to ME 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Council ,Aluma, Bona played well. McCain showed he's a better player than you think. Not sure what he is, if his three ball is what they say it is he can play some minutes. Who the hell is Keve Aluma? He can play a little. But its one game, not gonna Paul Reed it over one game!Keve Aluma can play. He graduated from Virginia Tech and was in the conversation for ACC player of the year his senior year. I don't believe he was drafted, and that was shocking. Kid's game reminded me of Boris Diaw offensively, outside in big. He's maybe a better defender and rebounder though than Diaw.
So 2 lies so far. Integrity seems to be a real issue in Tobias's family.Is it possible we would get a trade exception and that could be used to bypass us getting hard capped on a trade, say like for Harrison Barnes?
Now show me the the post from weeks ago where you said that Burks would be an amazing get.
No I do not agree that we need a PF... Is J. Tatum really a PF? Or is he a SF playing PF... Is J. Brown a SG playing SF? Of course... With that being said, Paul George is the PF... Kelly Oubre is the SF...I have fallen in love with the idea of PG at the 4 and KO at the 3. My suggestion at the 2 would be Gary Trent, Jr. He's a very good 3-point shooter, and underrated defender. I'd really prefer Okoro but I don't think Cleveland would let him go. They can match any offer.
What this team needs more than anything is a 2 GUARD with 3 and D ability... I was hoping that KCP would have been that guy...
Don't get me wrong, there is always going to be times where you have to match up against certain teams... But to think that Paul Reed was going to defend the likes of J. Tatum is asinine...
We could easily match up with Minnesota if we needed... Embiid could play PF with Drummond at C... But, if you think about it...
There are no real dominant PF's in the league anymore... AD don't even play PF anymore... That's why so many SF's are playing PF... Didn't Tobias Harris play PF for years when he's a SF? My final answer is SG...
