@JKutz34 If you do the side by side comparison between Zubac and Kessler on their defensive efficiency metrics against top 10 offenses it makes Zu look like even more of an ideal choice.
@zaxhottakes@CBB_Central Some maybe. I interviewed with Louisville athletics last year in their premium ticket sales area. Interviewer told me they were tasked with trying to increase their revenue to cover all the roster money needed through premium seating and season tickets.
@IndianaPreps Great article. To the point about ecosystem, you see the access young adults have to the sport with ibeach, pinheads and others to learn the game as an adult in a welcoming atmosphere with leagues and open play. Opens them more to raising kids involved with the sport
@tedcruz I proudly stood in the way of your AI-data center amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill that would have given those companies immunity from the law. In fact, @mtgreenee and I got it stripped from the bill. Did your big tech cronies still let you cash their checks after you failed?
@slmandel If they need $250 million to make up for conference championship games, then why not just keep those games? You still have demand for those games. And you’d be screwing the cities that host those games
@RossDellenger Why would you need to eliminate conference title games in a 16 team playoff? And especially with the wonderful spotlight they had on their conference this past title game, on a Saturday night with no tv competition, you’d think he would see it with more value.
@Trav_A_22@braxton_mccoy@ShawnRyan762 They’re literally going to kill their own environment and make it to where people won’t have sufficient water to continue to live there. It’s mind boggling how this is continuing
@bwhiteUF@BudElliott3 Whoever owns the venue and their food & beverage management company splits the food and beverage. Depends on the type of contract they have between those two on what sort of split goes to each.
@MikeJayPatriot@stelzner_n1150 Just curious, is the red flag that he wants ALL of the Epstein files released that could further implicate our administration? If this is the bad actor you’ve chosen to focus on, then you’ve lost your way and may god help you
@JKutz34 Thank you! He provides great value in a place that was lacking during the finals run. 26th in defensive rebounding, bottom half in 2nd chance points allowed. If he shot 3’s people would have been running naked through the streets with joy.
Zubac is making $19.5M/yr next two seasons & a top 10 center despite being paid 14th. Only making 53% of the 8th highest paid and only 36% of the 5th highest.
The steal of a contract and fit of filling a gargantuan need is 100% worth a 5th pick that’d be coming off the bench
@ZacaRisky15@Connor54194816@TheDestinAdams I fully understand the concerns, but a better center and what that anchors the post especially in terms of rebounding was needed. They likely would be choosing from a group of guards at pick 5 which is not a weakness and you couldn’t go into next year with Huff as your starting 5
@ZacaRisky15@Connor54194816@TheDestinAdams As much as I like Sabonis, Zubac is a much better defender in that comparison. He shoots over 60% from the field which with four perimeter shooters around him he doesn’t need to shoot the 3. Mathurin likely leaves in the offseason or costs too much for this roster
@ZacaRisky15@Connor54194816@TheDestinAdams They were ranked 26th in defensive rebounding percentage with Turner, which led to the bottom half of the league in 2nd chance points allowed. Zubac is an elite rebounder. They’ve got lineup flexibility if needed for perimeter centers, but he fits well with the rest of the roster
@ZacaRisky15@Connor54194816@TheDestinAdams Turner averaged 15 and 6 on their way to the NBA Finals. Think they’ll be perfectly happy with the double double Zubac will average
@PacersKev You built a team that made the finals. Had tough breaks and still managed a move that dramatically improves chances for the next two seasons at the least of making it back. Excited for what’s to come regardless of how ping pong balls fell
@atmmac1235@goddek “Take down an enemy”. These are your fellow Americans. How ignorant people continue to act is more and more amazing everyday. This is what is killing this country. God help you.
@kristen_lynn_7 Your Friends and Neighbors is on Apple unfortunately, but that gets you access to Ted Lasso if you haven’t watched that and that’s just good for the soul
