With the way the lotto sits (it is dumb imo), i dont see the value in tanking for a 15 percent shot at a top heavy class like this.

The Cade draft....sure that was stacked. Those are once every 5 years.

I disagree with your assessment of this draft

It is very similar to that one in the top 4-5 are stupid stacked for a draft

I think this is the 5 years one since that 2021 draft

Next year has a few top guys, but not like this right now

It would be hilarious if Cooper decided he liked it at Duke

Be interesting to know how this was put together. I certainly believe the Thunder should have more than one on this list.
did you read what the list is for? Really only one on OKC can be guarding the best player of the opponent. Or at least take the main assignment.

Not quite but Mobley should be on the list
It's not just top defender though If I read correctly it's who takes the toughest player on the other team most. Would guess IF that guy is even a frontcourt player Allen gets that quite a bit. And if a backcourt/wing guy? Okoro (when he was healthy).

44-10 at the break- just made a nice trade.

How would you grade the Cavaliers "first half"?
Has to be an A, right?

Not to bring up something somewhat negative but did TT ever explain what the hell he was doing end of game?

Especially with Wemby...might want to get the dude some playoff experience if possible.

Alright you look at this more than i do. I don't trust 2 guys who cant even be .500 in college to be that gamebreaking.

You never know with these advanced stats. So many switches on the court with screens I guess whoever contests the shot gets credit? Or amount of time covered in that posssession? Or is it limited to certain possessions? Probably doesn’t matter regardless. I just remember seeing the stat on FG % that one contested shots when Mobley defends he is one of the best in the league.

right....I can see Mobley left off some list like that. Guessing as long as he stays healthy enough he makes all defense 1st team.

The Lakers mailed it in after the First Quarter and def after the First Half. The starters looked tired and bored.

I was encouraged by the play of the garbage-time bench players who were put in the game early and took a 25-point deficit and whittled it down to 14 points right before the final buzzer.

Led by Bronny who had a couple of threes and Morris who hits some threes too, the Lakers bench players almost got the deficit under 10. That was fun to watch.
