NBA Season Thread 2018-19 - Page 118 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

People constantly underrate how much young players who already have great skills can improve. They often make the most improvements simply because you're looking at a subset of players who have a great work ethic and bball iq

Doncic :: basketball
THAY3R :: TZ

They’re just gonna keep getting better and better.

His bf% as a 18-19yo pro bbaer calls into question his work ethic.

If POR is top 4 in the WC by AS break or so don't you think it's kind of time to get aggressive with personnel/trades? If Dame's your guy, now would be the time. I know Olshey is a huge pussy wrt trades but I have no idea how Vulcan is running things. Probably just want to maximize cash or **** Tribbles, goddamn Star Trek people.

Amazing that Jake Layman wasn't produced in a Portland laboratory, dude's right out of Slabtown. He's probably somehow a member of Portugal.The Man

Austin Rivers has a miserable disposition and I enjoy him being in an environment that will exacerbate that

L a bfron is so great and that greatness just kind of dusts off him and coats others. That's also how he passed his aggressive baldness to Coach Walton (I see that crown Luke!)

With that said, do you take Taytum or Doncic?

Bagley has great scoring skills, but his defense is very questionable and should be better, his high end projects to be a wing version of Kyrie, but there's obviously a lot of variance in that projection.

Ayton might be great, but he also might never figure out how to position himself on defense. For such a great athlete his defense is pretty awful and his positioning is close to the worst I've seen for an NBA player. If he doesn't figure make major strides in that category he might not ever become a decently positive player.

Also Curry was the best player in college basketball but dropped to 7th because his ceiling was "capped" and he was 90% of what he was going to become

We thought he was overrated but he was actually underrated.

LeBron should just score 50+ points every game.

I wonder how Kyrie feels about Lebron going for 50 in garbage time.
