Everything I know about Biker culture I leaned from watching Sons of Anarchy, great show.
-
It's kinda like when we drafted Reddish. You're betting on upside, you already know the freshman numbers aren't great.
-
I think's it more that he takes bad shots than that he can't shoot.
-
Edwards can probably shoot, but he's streaky and will go ice cold sometimes. He can hit really tough shots when he's on though. Ball probably cant shoot too great, but he's a crafty scorer.
-
Powell was taken in the 2nd round though. All things considered, Powell has out played his draft selection. Taking him #1 overall would be bad.
-
What about Cam and Ant? They are both ideally shooting guards. I know you draft talent and figure it out everything later, but it's a fair question.
-
Is Ant wired to be a great NBA player though? Some guys lose their edge once they get millions in the bank. This is a guy who has never been asked to play defense, never been asked to share the ball much. I just wonder if he's ready for the grind of an NBA season, ready for a role he's completely unfamiliar with. But he's a great teammate by all accounts though, so that is a strong plus for him.
-
If you don't like the fit with Trae then why take him?
-
We would have to take Ant over Okoro because of talent. But Ant has huge bust potential, by bust I mean empty calories chucker that doesn't help you win. Not hardcore bust or anything.
-
Well, creating a new bubble is not happening. Too expensive and logistically difficult. Delete 8 are going to the established bubble in Orlando, if anything. But I feel like there is a lot of back room NBA politics going on with this delete 8 thing, and how certain teams are being treated. It feels very David Stern-ish.
-
One thing that is very unusual is how Covid-19 has not impacted the third world in the same way as wealthier nations. How could nations with far less health care infrastructure, and far less health care capacity, not be impacted? It really defies any explanation.
-
If your definition of superstar is a generational player, then it essentially impossible to be one by the end of year two.
-
That's setting the bar high. Luka has a good chance to among those guys some day, Trae as well, based on their early career numbers. Guys like Ja Morant and Devin Booker too. They all have another decade or so to prove show their wares, and of course players we aren't even talking about will come along too. I'm less bullish on Zion, seeing how they are babying him at age 20, don't think that's a good sign.
-
Name the players currently in the NBA that meet your criteria for being a superstar. This is not a rhetorical question, name the names.
-
Kawhi is a bum. Overrated as heck. Can't even beat the freaking Suns.
-
How much cloth masks make a difference is an unsettled question. Most studies on masks were done for medical grade N95 masks, which are effective. Non medical grade cloth masks can't hurt, but their effectiveness might be overstated.
-
So Jordan, Lebron, Magic. Pretty high bar youre setting there, isn't it? This appears to be a debate about semantics mostly.
-
Luka's numbers are superstar worthy. Still too early to get into the nebulous "is he a winner" debate.
-
Luka (Trae as well) are putting up historic numbers for their age. If that doesn't meet the "young superstar" standard, then what does? I guess you gotta be a top 5 all time player to get any respect around here.
-
Who else makes your exclusive list besides LeBron?
-
I'm hoping for a Dallas vs Houston playoff series. Plenty of scoring.
-
You have to go by metropolitan area population, not the city proper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_statistical_areas We are number 9.
-
I commend you for your honest acknowledgment that we aren't a prime destination for NBA free agents. Hopefully that will change, will probably need a deep playoff run with the young core to change the narrative.
-
He goes 100 miles per hour all the time. You can do that when you're young.
-
What do you think Vegas will have as the Hawks odds to get Giannis? 500 to 1? 1000 to 1?
