It reminds me when I was growing up in England and one of my friends came out to play the day after getting circumcised (he was like 10 or 11). My sister threw a tennis ball aiming for his head and hit him right in the penis, causing him to crumble to the ground crying and ultimately having to re-stitched up. I asked her why she did it and she said that she said that her mind said "head" but her arm said "nail him in his recently-circumcised dick". I think Blake had the same fixation with Schroeder's blonde patch.

Come to think of it, the two are nothing alike.

Spoiler:
absolutely a true story though.

joe ingles' recent scoring EXPLOSION reminded me of a fun factoid about his career, his career high in any league stands at 29pts, which he achieved in his first ever professional game (back in 2006 for a defunct Aus league team)

Utah is a lock to be in the playoffs, and I think the 6th seed is their floor.

What about Mitch Richmond?r
Unfortunate to be the 2nd best sg during Jordan's prime. He was a beast.

Glen Rice?
Maybe the quickest release on the 3 ever, kind of limited elsewhere.

Jamal Mashburn?
Monster Mash was great for a while... athletic, versatile, intelligent, great motor

Alonzo Mourning?
4th best center in his time but played with a chip on his shoulder and competed every night. Dude was smaller and less talented than Shaq, (H)Akeem, Ewing but worked harder and won more with less

Tim Hardaway?
I got him slightly lower than Kevin Johnson in the all time pg list.
Please rank those 7 players.

Pippen

Webber
Richmond

Mourning
Hardaway
Mashburn

Rice


Go!

Simmons is a averaging 17/8/7. Mitchell 19/3/3. Simmons plays better defense. Simmons a higher PER and more WS. Simmons has a higher eFG%. Mitchell has been sweet, but he's not the Rookie of the Year.

He's also the best player on a team in the West that is likely to make the playoffs. Simmons is the 2nd best (?) player on a team that is struggling to make it in the LOL East. Mitchell over Simmons for days lol stats

But Ben Simmons is a sophomore that could have played last year, but sixers did sixers things

Mitchell isn’t close to their best player, but I think that narrative could be enough to get him the RoTY.

I think Utah has legit 4 seed equity, and given a likely run that should be enough. The same could be said for Philly though since both have cupcake schedules from here out and are rolllllllling.

After his second year I said I'd take Gobert's career moving forward over Mutombo's and was met with resistance.

Thoughts now?

More interesting question : For the next 10 years Simmons or Mitchell ?

I'd say Mitchell will be a better player because Simmons is drawing dead to hit 3s in his career

I like Simmons. He's not drawing completely dead, and not everyone has to be a 3 point shooter, especially with his playmaking ability.

also, defense is a thing.
