His form looked a lot better at the end of the year compared to the beginning.

Weaver told you why. He swings for home runs. I love Hendricks and he was who I wanted if they didn't take Thompson. But his offense is very limited to basically just a catch and shoot type player. He will be a very nice player for the next ten years. But he isn't a home run. Thompson puts pressure on the rim, creates for others and himself. If he develops an average three point shot that's your home run.

No chance Victor plays in that game.

Sam Vecenie and his guest discussed the jump shot on their live stream last night. Both agreed Ausar does not need a 3PT shot to be a success. What he needs is a proper team around him. At least 3 other guys on the floor who can shoot that will spread the floor and let Ausar go to work. Giannis is a top 3 player in the league and averages 28% from three for his career. He can do that because he almost always has 3 or 4 guys on the court with him who can shoot. Lopez shoots 38%, Holiday 39%, Middleton 39%, Jingles 40% Allen 38%, Portis 37%, Carter 42% etc. etc. Defense goes zone to defend against Giannis, the shooters shoot over the top and bust the zone, defense is quickly back to man. I realize Giannis is an extreme example due to his freak size and athleticism. But you can do this with Fox, Ja, and others. What they did say Ausar needs is a 12 footer, maybe a little floater. He hits those shots and his defender has to come out away from the rim to defend him and it gives Ausar more room to work.

No schedule or roster yet. But the Las Vegas summer league starts July 7th.

Dallas had a night. They turned #10 and Bertans into #12, #24, and Richaun Holmes. They got a backup C in Holmes. Their probable starting C in Lively, who they probably would have picked anyway if they stayed at #10. And dumped that atrocious Bertans contract. $17M per for the next 3 years I believe, and he doesn't play. Trading him to OKC for no returning player created a $17M trade exception they can now use. It also dropped them out of the luxury tax. So instead of the much smaller taxpayer MLE they now have the full MLE to use.

That is fantastic.

Troy with the jokes.

Little 10 minute presser from Weaver.
-
Ah OK. Still, great value. I really enjoyed watching him while I watched Scoot.
-
So happy we got him. Day 1 he is our best defender. Which is sort of like being the skinniest kid at fat camp. But still.
-
Vecenie had his range from 12-35. SA got a steal.
-
Lively is a great pick for Dallas. They badly needed defense in the middle.
-
Wait. Howard went 11? WTF?
-
That same analyst had Suggs #2 on his board that year. He has a thing for athletic players.
-
And he sucks.
-
Good job Pitsons! Stupid Silver.
-
**** yes.
-
Portland got a gift.
-
Best mock ever.

I will be out tonight and going to miss the draft. So figured I would start this now to use. Easier to search this shorter thread 5 years from now for all the juicy hot takes. 8PM tonight and so far we still have the #5 pick.
-
Not really. Next years draft is supposed to be weaker and you figure with two lottery picks SA will improve a bit. I would rather have this years pick. Another option. SA is owed 7 future first round picks from other teams. Maybe one or two of those would be appealing. Except Detroit really needs the help now.
