good call

Through four games, Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken 71 shots in the paint and 17 outside of it (5-of-17).

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) October 24, 2017

weve not seen a guy like this before

hes got the shot chart of shaq but the way he gets those shot is very different

still think he shd consider learning to shoot tho

wasnt young wade like this?

he had a midrange game its the 3 hes always struggled with

anyway giannis got to be aiming higher than young wade status, if he can shoot hes looking at realistic goat potential

why shoot when you can take a one dribble eurostep from the same spot for a layup?

heh theres def an argument to be made that shooting from closer is better

giannis playing on a damn nerf hoop on the bedroom door

ha yes.

them boys are ballin

they are def "being guys"

tatum thriving in the chaos of this celtics early season is borderline miraculous

i thought "guy" had a negative connotation, like a whatever player who is easily replaceable

"They are young guys but, to us, with the situation we're in, they're guys," Stevens said. "Like, we need them to be guys."

haha oh i hadn't seen that quote, i swear some GM used it in the way i mentioned in the past couple of years tho

its a flexible term

there are JAGs and there are Guys. there are also Young Guys sometimes. that's how i break it down to an extent.

yeah i think i was thinking of "just a guy"

replacement level guy

boogie is the best player now, doesnt seem too long ago ppl on this board were asking if he was good or not

Blazers vs. Raptors, was tied at 29-29 at end of the 1st quarter. Then the Blazers scored only 6 points in the 2nd quarter!

After Monday's win, the Celtics now have the top defensive rating (95.6) in the NBA.

crazy to both

youngest by how many days?

dunno

At 19 years and 317 days, Fultz is the first teenager to ever post a triple-double and bests Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball (20 years, 15 days), who earlier this season took over the distinction from Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James (20 years, 20 days).

Jaylen belongs to a pretty select group of shooters with > 300 3PA > 39.5% 3P% and < 65% from the line. I'm still skeptical his 3PT shooting is real long-term, but I'll admit there is some precedent for it. pic.twitter.com/e8vzeNYycG

80% ft post allstar tho

i think jaylen might just be a baller, a guy who can hit threes without perfect form, but also his form is trending very quickly towards perfect

he looks legit to me. year three gonna be huge to see if he has another jump in him, and with less playing time due to gordo's return.

i'd say i'm skeptical of his three pt shot too but he doesn't need to be great at it to be a good player

he shot 40% for a whole season guys! his second season in the league! a season in which his form showed marked improvement! theres really no reason to be skeptical!

his shot even looks good now

he fixed his ft problems by just taking deep breaths or something

saw a stat that blew my mind:

John Stockton played all 82 games in 17 of his 19 seasons...

that is crazy

ya I remember perusing his bkref page years ago and being amazed by that

played 82 at age 40!

was in the playoffs every season he played in as well. nba all defense 5 times. what a baller.

Who's hustling?

Promising for fox

yeah if he learns to shoot a lil he cld be a real beast, has an insane amount of bounce in his step

i think hes good

kings are "interesting"

fox and bagley seem like they cld have some resonance but its the kings so theyll prob have to leave before seeing a winning season

prediciton: aaron fox has such excellent physical tools to work with, he's bound to eventually find a niche in the nba that lets him play for a ten to twelve year career.

All-time PG leader in rebounds*

* - Actually, like 3,000 of these or so belong to Steven Adams.

steven adams averaged 5.1 offensive rebounds per game last season and only 4 dr/g. O_O

dude could average 15 boards pretty easily.

7'1" Meyers Leonard recorded 0 blocks last season

wuuuut lol how is that even possible
