@subaru_nyk He has his flaws for sure but some of the tools are unteachable. Excellent change of pace but more importantly control of pace. Deep range and great touch/craft to finish at different angles. Great vision that excites me if passing skill improves. Can be an elite offensive engine
@BobbyMarks42 Do you think it’s fair to say that as teams and players learn to navigate this FA could be “revived”? Teams may be more tentative to give out max extensions, meaning more players will then test their FA market and more teams will have space after initial CBA learning curve
@hoopersdebate If you view it as the Dame + Turner contract it’s 220M/5 which in a vacuum isn’t bad, sure, but don’t you think given how far the Bucks are from having a competitive roster they would’ve been better off keeping Dame so that they can get off all the money after 27 and reassess?
@Khanman23 @KevinOConnorNBA @golic@mikegolicjr I personally loved the pick. Just explained why grades aren’t always as black and white as comparing draft slot to pre draft ranking
Here is my 2025 NBA Draft Big Board:
Does not include some international players that probably would be ranked higher than some of these guys if I had more time to watch them
@JustBB_Media@Jack_McMullen11 This take is so terrible. You’re talking about the best catcher season making Cal a lock for MVP. How about the fact that Judge is on pace for the best season, for players of any position, that didn’t either use steroids or play before WW2? Is that not more valuable?
@ryanhammer09 You can argue that there weren’t enough adjustments but they very clearly did adjust. They played Mitch more than KAT but still played KAT too much. He was a -20 and after every Knicks miss it’s 5 on 4 because he doesn’t get back in semi-transition. Just never in the right spot
Pacers offense with KAT on the court: 8/14 FG 0 TO
Pacers offense with Mitch on the court: 1/7 FG 2 TO
Knicks have been better with Mitch at the 5 than KAT all playoffs
