The General Manager of the Mets should be a born & bred Mets fan because we have an impending sense of doom, where we can make changes before tragedy happens.
@JamCristopher He shot 44% from 3 in college (on a high volume) with no difference in percentage between a spot up and pull up shot, while winning the SEC championship with right type of players around him.
No reason he won’t replicate this in the NBA.
@Jacobtheclipper Yes. The Knicks won the NBA title with Jalen Brunson scoring 45 points on 27 shots, as “KAT being the main hub of the offense” with 2 points & 1 assist.
The non-tanking rules are going to screw up the #NBA, where it will crush parity AND teams will tank (just maybe not on purpose).
Draft position should just be done based on the average talent of the roster.
Using NBA 2K rankings as an example.
What’s the downside?
@BillyReinhardt Yes, when San Antonio gets Harper, Sixers get Edgecomb & the Mavericks get Flagg, you get the worst of both worlds: No parity and teams tanking even if they’re not trying to!
@TheBHentel I think it’s the other way around. Coach Cal knows what he’s looking for.
SGA picked 11th.
Devin Booker picked 13th.
Tyrese Maxey picked 21st.
Now Acuff picked 7th.
NBA GM’s are never going to learn their lesson.
@NotTheAmazingJ Mitchel Robinson is an elite rim protector and Jaylen Brown is an elite defender as well, while Egor & MPJ are above average. They’d only have to be average defensively, because the offense would be off the charts.
@bignubwoo@AceSosa2@dj_bte 1. It’s not Jordi’s decision. It’s medical and he does have a bad back, which is concerning for a 20 year-old.
2. Even if MBJ had more minutes and a green light, he would not being doing what Acuff is going. He’s just not built for it. Just look at his college stats.
@thomasjamespe It really isn’t. Marks could have put this team together with limited draft capital (to the Celtics). You would have MPJ & Jalen Brown in their prime, taking the pressure off Acuff & Egor, as they come into their own.
@ETrainSports There’s 3 engines to a basketball team: a lead guard, a Center, and a scoring small forward.
A Center is really hard to come by (ie. Wemby).
The scoring small forward is almost harder (ie. Jason Tatum).
The lead guard is a bit easier, but need to build around him.
