The 2023-2024 NBA Season

like I said

Dejuontes trade Market is broken

Crazy to me that the top guy sits at 14 at that position. That used to be the marquee position in the NBA.

 

[The Q]

If jaylen brown was that good the Celtics would have at least 20 banners by now

Yeah I can’t understand it. Dude should be 2 firsts and a decent young player.

Yep but now it seems like wing and PG are those must have positions

 

[Shanemansj13]

Only a couple elite SG's as of right now

 

[Shanemansj13]

A lot of elite wings. I still call Giannis a wing. A huge wing

It’s become a ball dominant iso game…and yet the teams that win big are still the teams that share the ball. Go figure.

I agree. He handles the ball too often all over the floor to be classified as a big.

Probably going to put Wemby in the same category

 

[Shanemansj13]

 

[Shanemansj13]

LOL

 

[fightinfunbags]

Probably going to put Wemby in the same category

And Chet as well from what I’ve seen of his game.

At the same time, I think this discussion begins with how you classify a player. Do you lean on his offensive or his defensive role when assigning the traditional labels to a player? Clearly without talking about it, we have gravitated to the offensive role in the way we classify.

Someone who focuses on defense determining the label would likely place Chet Wemby and Giannis as Bigs. It’s eye of the beholder stuff.

not for all-star selections

lol give it a little time. One starter is pretty good for most teams I thought.

 

[The Q]

I mean Murray and Mitchell are still kinda pg-ish

Sexton too


And brown, jwill and barnes can certainly be wings

Nkt a lot of true sgs there

 

[The Q]

Probably shouldn’t trade with them at all after their shenanigans last year

Soooo many guards that we can talk about like this and thus the increasingly popular label of “combo guard”.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm saying the whole position-less basketball is great but not for selections. I didn't mean your specific team.

You know...not everything revolves around OKC

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah I can’t understand it. Dude should be 2 firsts and a decent young player.

they said Atlanta wanted Ivey for him

I was like....okay?

Why wouldn't we do that?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would put Murray, Mitchell and Sexton into the combo guard category. Yep those out guys are wings. I guess it comes down to how many true SG's are out there...mainly role players or shooters
