Fultz or Ball? Who is currently the better player

Did you see that Dragic crossover on Lonzo? Old man still has moves.

Wolves about to win in Utah

Colin Sexton can score the basketball- that is for sure.

kid is only 21 years old too. Was drafted in 2018

2018 Draft:

1. Ayton
2. Bagley
3. Doncic
4. JJJ
5. T. Young
6. M. Bamba
7. Wendell Carter Jr.
8. Sexton
9. Knox
10. Bridges

was the top 10.

if they re-did that draft today?

1. Doncic
2. Young
3. Ayton
4. SGA (was 11th)
5. JJJ
6. Sexton
7. Michael Porter Jr.
8. Bagley
9. DiVincenzo (17th to MIL)
10. Mitchell Robinson (36th to NYK)

maybe...i dunno- just looked at it real quick. Mikal Bridges isnt too bad either. Neither is Miles.

Wolves about to win in Utah

def. rooting for Minne to win as many games as possible. Dont need the Warriors getting another high lotto pick - esp. in this upcming draft.

Pretty good games to end the night.

Houston up 1 on Portland
Kings up 3 on Phoenix

i mean, he needs to learn how to shoot......

You must have missed game 1. He made 11 of 15 shots, 73% of his FGA's....he simply had an off night.

Gruden is a moron. Did you know that?

One of those coaches that tries to outsmart himself.

Fultz or Ball? Who is currently the better player

Really haven’t watched Fultz much tbh but I guess whatever you need for your team more. Fultz seems to be the better scorer, always a good defender? Ball is a very good defender and seems like an improved shooter...so far. Not sure

I'm not sure what it says about Lonzo that this is actually a decently valid question despite the fact that Fultz spent the first two years of his career with a fractured psyche and just now over the last year has started to rebuild his game.

All I know is I feel vindicated saying Jayson Tatum should have gotten more consideration as #1 overall. (kindly ignore my Dennis Smith Jr take)

Harden and CJ both with 41.

Lillard with 30 and Wood with 31.

 

[bksballer89]

Doesn't get much better than James Harden in the regular season.....my god he is great

 

[bksballer89]

CJ for 3!!!

Blazers up 2

 

[bksballer89]

Blazers win.

44 and 17 for Harden in his first game.

Wood is the #2 on Houston now. What were the Pistons thinking letting him walk

Houston got a nice 7 man rotation

Wall
Harden
Gordon
Tucker
Wood
Cousins
House

Hell of a drop off after this one

if Wall and Cousins can get back some of their prior forms and Harden gets his head on his shoulders that could be a very interesting team. Wood was a great get.

Its not as good as the LA teams , but it would be right there with Denver and Dallas and utah and Portland--- that 2nd tier of West teams.

And shit--- if Houston ends up being good and gets it together that just pushes the Warriors down even further.

The Warriors might be in some trouble.

i remember people telling me Hassan Whiteside was better than Andre Drummond.

Andre Drummond is a real pro. He has his limitations- as do all "pure centers"---but Drummond made 2 amazing plays against Derek Rose on the perimeter to help win this game.

he is an athlete, and can move, and can play D, and has a very good attitude.
