NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

If true I don't think anyone loses their job over taking Edey, at, say, 8-10.

Didn't help his stock last night IMO.

 

[The Q]

Ha!!

and as always the rigged calls are kooky talk. I mean, if it was there was a much better foul call they could have made when Iowa had the ball...but they let it go. Never mind if rigged for Iowa someone is not good at rigging to let it go to the last shot.

It was a good call.

Illegal screens need to be the next big crackdown in the WWNBA and cbb

Idk anything that helps his stock at this point

He is what he is.

One of the reasons he does stay out of foul trouble is he doesn’t go for as many blocks as other giants his size

What's crazy is having alleged experts say that was a fantastic showing for Edey last night

It's like....do you even NBA bro?

Zero assists? None? An NBA team has more athletic defenders that can get out on those shooters and they will force the ball out of Edeys hands.

I do. If he fails.

Only because I think it is pretty obvious that his game doesn’t suit.

Much rather take a flier on an athletic wing or a shooter.

This draft has so many tweeners. Ugh. It's like having 15 D Los without even his skill set.

Purdue attempted 7 threes in a national title game in the year 2024

I think the most concerning thing from last night is 0 assists

If he's going to do that in the NBA he isn't going to be there long.

The Huskies tried to double as little as possible to eliminate the kick out 3s, which ended up being a great strategy. Let Edey get his points and minimize everyone else.

Yes I know

That doesn't mean he has to take EVERY shot lol.

Yeah but teams screw up all the time in that range and keep their jobs.

The only way you know it’s a shitty game going in is if you’ve become convinced that the product is trending downward in quality.

I know but we had a heated debate last night about the start time. My point is people still watch at this late hour

Screwing up on a player that a lot of your peers think is going to be good isn’t a big deal.

Screwing up on someone controversial that most think isn’t going to be good is.

Take him early, you better be right.

How long before the TV money starts to dry up? CBS has already shifted most of the coverage to TNT and TBS.

That's a ways off but it should be something to reflect on

How did we manage to make our sport less compelling than the women's counterpart
