analytic types & other smart basketball folks really liked looney & mccaw. i wouldn't be surprised if one of them was a legit bench piece by the end of the season.

the 538 projections predicting marcus smart to suddenly be a star player is truly weird

ciderpress, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:39 (seven years ago) link

ya it was the same last year even

lag∞n, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:40 (seven years ago) link

cld see it tbh we got flashes of him having shot selection in the offs and it was good

lag∞n, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

same for winslow also i noticed, nate's formula must really value that kinda player

J0rdan S., Friday, 8 July 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

hes already an extremely disruptive defender

lag∞n, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

cld def see it with both of em

lag∞n, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

I guess the current elements of his game are all things that translate very well to nba success historically

ciderpress, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:42 (seven years ago) link

winslow ceiling is very high imo tho he more likely tops out at glorified D n 3 borderline allstar status

lag∞n, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:42 (seven years ago) link

iirc defense and especially steals is the thing that translates best from college stats to nba stats whereas scoring is much harder to predict from stats

ciderpress, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link

shooting I mean, obv scoring is super reliant on outside factors

sorry I know it's summer league but Ingram has been fun to watch in his first game.

i know i know i agree w/all of this but he's the right size, he's young, 2-guard is still not a strong position in the league, there's gotta be something there.

call all destroyer, Saturday, 9 July 2016 04:09 (seven years ago) link

Lakers are at least going to play with a little joy this year. Such a relief after the Byron and cooked kobe years.

(•̪●) (carne asada), Saturday, 9 July 2016 04:12 (seven years ago) link

Shit was just miserable

(•̪●) (carne asada), Saturday, 9 July 2016 04:13 (seven years ago) link

xtremely dire 4 sure

lag∞n, Saturday, 9 July 2016 04:14 (seven years ago) link

i would def take a flyer on mclemore if the kings are just trying to dump him. i don't think he's good or will be but on the final year of a rookie contract why not. rudy gay has a player option after this season that he'll almost certainly decline, i almost feel like there are some teams who should look into that. even koufos is getting paid $8m a year given current salaries that's not bad tho he has 3 years left. but some of these teams like the wizards or magic making weird random signings should have been on that.

J0rdan S., Saturday, 9 July 2016 04:20 (seven years ago) link

im sure the kings are making unreasonable asks tho

yeah the best times they had last year was when kobe/lou were out injured and the youngsters would just go and jack it up
