also while we’re talking draft… i would start paying a lot of attention to what vernon carey is doing… i know we’re pretty full on the frontcourt right now but he’s right in the mix with wiseman and edwards….

well when all your pull up jumpers fall you can look pretty good…. he basically does that a lot no matter the situation…. and he struggles a bit driving in traffic…

you can throw all the advanced stats out the window… bpm.. ws48… are highly dependent on ts and ts is not a good forward looking indicator…. it’s a backward looking metric… the much better forward looking metric is just 2p %.. and he’s underwater at 45%…

it’s not so far underwater like it is with cole who has enormous issues compared to edwards… and it’s trending upwards so i’m not all that concerned but if you’re a top prospect you should be getting and hitting the shots you want… and those shots are in the paint not out on the perimeter…

Do I recall correctly that KP wanted to use his own doctor? As for THJ, it’s hard to judge whether he should have had surgery right away or not.

You would need one helluva coach plus a veteran PG, but this would be a fascinating core to start next season with:

1 Frank (22 y/o)
2 Edwards (20)
3 Barrett (20)
4 Knox (21)
5 Robinson (22)

Maybe I’m just excited to see a lineup without 3 PFs but I like the way it fits.

I fell in love with Edwards watching the Michigan State game. I like his fit on the roster, too. He and Barrett would be a strong pair of wings (and they even handle the ball enough to carry Frank, if you want to).

Look at his game log to see the knock on him, though. He’s laid some eggs. Don’t know if that’s a big deal when the overall numbers are that good.

I dunno, Anthony Edwards’ stats look pretty good to me…27, 7 and 4 with 3 steals per 40, BPM of 7.0, WS40 of .211, TS% of .543 on 32% usage, .375 from 3 so far on 9.4 attempts per 40, lots from NBA range…and won’t be 19 until next August…that’s pretty dope for a big guard. That’s as good or better than RJ was in virtually every important category and doesn’t have Zion on his team.

I think our medical staff is probably pretty good.

It’s so good they couldn’t solve their best player’s anemia nor could the fix THJrs stress fractures twice.

Hardaway had a stress fracture to his left tibia in Dec 2017 and it wasn’t “fixed” til he had surgery in Dallas last summer……

Why would Kawhi want to leave after winning the title and NBA Finals MVP?

I’m pretty sure everyone knew he was going back to one if the two LA teams to be back home to play with LeBron/AD or to the Clips with another star. I don’t think Rockford , Ill will be getting an NBA franchise any time soon…..

Edwards is really good and should be in the conversation for top 3 in the draft, even with the needlessly high usage. Cole Anthony has been pretty horrible the last few games, and has been the chucker you should worry about (sub 40% 2pt%!! UNC has been bad this year unfortunately). Same with LaMelo.

Except when it came to changing the all important medical staff

I think our medical staff is probably pretty good. The lead doctor did win an award for best in the league, the physical for Bullock was effective, and they don’t seem to rush players back only to see them get reinjured. A recent example is Elfrid Payton. He came back and within two games was good and he had a kind of injury that often gets reinjured (that said, I really hope I’m not jinxing him)
