Well they are moving the draft, to when, Lord only knows. They are probably waiting to see about fans in the stands, so the league and players can agree on a cap number.

Mid-November is what I saw.   Hopefully that gives them enough time to set up a proper combine and in person workouts.

Also gives them time to complete the accounting review to set the Cap numbers.

Sadly, this also pushes out the date for @NBASupes "month of the draft" avatar.  It'll come, Supes.  It'll come.

I'd like to see how they count the numbers.  Something doesn't add up.  I see the following:

Trae 0-3 feet:  59.6%; 229 attempts

Huerter 0-3 feet:  57.6%; 85 attempts

Hunter 0-3 feet: 59.1%; 154 attempts

Cam 0-3 feet: 54%; 126 attempts

How are these numbers so different? The attempt count is very close so the overlap must be extremely high.

I am highly skeptical of the numbers in that tweet.

I'm just super skeptical of those numbers.  51.5% for Trae when basketball reference has Trae at nearly 60% fg% near the rim and NBA.com has Trae at 58.5% for fg% in the restricted area.

Has Trae way lower as a percentile (30th percentile versus over 50th percentile on Supes favorite site for finishing at the rim).  https://arjb10.shinyapps.io/radialplots/

Not buying into it without further explanation and sourcing.

For non-bubble teams this is the worst off season ever. Pure unrelenting agony. No bubble, no draft, no summer league. Throw us a bone here, Jesus Christ.

Non televised limited media availability practices. Hopefully someone inside the building will be kind enough to record scrimmages on their phone and upload them.

Hopefully the limited media is similar to camp reports.

In the NFL there is always the beat writer that gives word on who's been showing out in practice. That just doesn't work for basketball unfortunately

I'll take what I can get. Scrimmages with other teams would have been nice though.

Hopefully nobody gets jaywalker'd for reporting on them. (aging myself a bit here, the old-school RealGM'ers know)

My Big Board at 6 if they're available

1. Okoro

2. Avdija

3. Okongwu

4. Toppin

5. Vassell

I like this. But Id go

Okoro(His shot worries me, but he has that dog in him)

Vassell(He's is rising up my board. He and Cam on the perimeter would be scary defensively. Plus he can shoot the 3)

Okungwu(Perfect small ball center with potential to be a lot more..Also allows us to move on from Dedmon)

Toppin(His defense scares me. Especially in the p&r. But he fits our offense to a T.)

Avdija(I liked him more than I do now for some reason so I dropped him to 5th)

Imagine a lineup of Trae/Vassell/Cam/Hunter/Capela..Thats surrounding Trae with some defense and shooting right there....
