Yes, unfortunately.

Well, it’s well researched, interesting, realistic and offers hope. But nah…you know better…

If you make the cutoff 800 FGA, the list grows to 12 (Steph, Tatum, Booker and Cliff Robinson). Knox is 4th in 3pt% and 2nd in 3PAr. Also 4th in DRB%.

Lower it to 700 and it grows to 18 Knox was 6th in 3pt%, 3rd in 3PAr and 7th in DRB%
19th.
Lower it to 600 grows to 32. Of those 32, Knox was 7th in 3PT% and 4th in 3PTr. He dropped to 16th in DRB% but get this: he had the 2nd lowest TOV% out of the 32 players.

Finally, lower it to 500 FGA and he moves to 9th, 4th, and 19th, with the 3rd lowest TOV%.

So we can conclude:
1) 19yo’s that shoot as many times as Knox did are extremely rare, suggesting that this role was way over Knox’s head.
2) His 3pt shooting percentage ranks him among the best teenagers ever in that category.
3) He shot 3 pointers nearly 40% of the time, and his 364 attempts were third among teens ever. This suggests that his % was not a small sample-size fluke.
4) He was a very respectable defensive rebounder for a teenager.
5) Considering that his Usage rate was a middle of this pack 22.3%, his extremely low TOV% is a positive, as it suggests that he was either shooting or making safe passes, bumping up his PPP a bit, although this is probably nullified by his low OREB%. Still something to build on.

Since Israel is mentioned here I thought I’d bring some news from yesterday. Our security forces demolished 13 buildings belonging to 72 Palestinian families, throwing them out into the street, and in a separate incident that came to light yesterday an IDF soldier shot a 10 year old boy in the head from 100 meters away.

This stuff happens daily here. Daily. If you guys think camps for immigrants are bad come visit the territories here. Then go cheer Rivera for entering the HOF because, lol, sports and politics aren’t related.

I am standing in ovation.

In the past lawmakers wouldn’t go home on the weekend and Democrats and Republicans mingled together and became friends even though they didn’t agree on everything politically

Couple things. This mostly only happened between WWII and 1992 and it was definitely falling off by the end. Legislators were strongly united by something fundamental – racism. There were still earmarks, which meant legislators could be paid off to vote against party on issues they didn’t care about by having money earmaked specifically for their district. Earmarks were the biggest reason why they got along and the biggest reason why there was compromise. But it’s pork and waste so poof, had to go.

It’s not the place to go to a detailed back and forth. The bottom line is that Israel is the stronger party and it’s abusing its power greatly, taking away any reasonable solution to the conflict. Ethnic cleansing, without saying the phrase itself obviously, is the official strategy of our extreme right, and they are the people who control politics here.

Cue 2FOR18 talking about virtue signaling in 10, 9, 8…..

And I’m guessing the poor downtrodden haven’t done a single thing to engender such reaction, ehhh. Like maybe lob a couple of thousand rockets over the border with regularity. What do you think America would do if the “citizens” of Toronto started lobbing thousands of rockets at Buffalo?

The biggest thing that people hate is that people from NYC think upstate is their personal playground to use as they want during the summer.

You guys down there don’t help yourself when you shoot each other during hunting season trying to be sportsmen. Happens every year I swear.

My kid is about to start college in a small liberal arts college about as far upstate in NY as you can go. I already traveled there several times from near the city, by just about every route you can take. I’ve also traveled through and stayed in lots of small towns during the college search. It truly is weird. Without NYC and burbs, NY is a deep red state. Frankly, there is not much difference between most of rural NYS and rural NC or rural western VA, aside for the crops/products and the nature of conservatism.

Yeah, once you get past the Albany area (or, I guess I could just call it “The Capitol Region” like they call it), it’s deeeeeeeeeeep red. And there are plenty of pockets before Albany, as well. You could be driving through the hippie enclaves of Beacon and suddenly you’re in Trump Country. It’s so bizarre.
