Herbie_Hancock Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 It’s too bad for Davis. He was the best prospect the badgers have had in years. I liked him more then kaminsky and dekker for the nba for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could give Anthony Gill back with a TE. Yeah, it will probably be the biggest issue with the Pelicans. They have big salary and small salary, not many moveable contracts. I think Nance is too important to let go. We'd have zero playable bigs behind Jonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingram Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 hour ago, OkeyDoke21 said: At least Gradey and Scoot are getting minutes. Has Jett Howard even played more than 5 minutes in a game? I'd say Davis and Howard right now. Ousmane Dieng can't seem to get minutes either, but he's kind of behind a logjam of other young guys who need minutes on a team that's competing. Honestly too early for any of it to really mean much though. Gradey might be the worst because they took him over Jordan Hawkins, who is better at basically every aspect of basketball...including shooting.

seminoles1 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Also, not quite a lottery pick, but the Lakers taking Jalen Hood-Schifino at #17 (who can't play on a bad team) with the next 3 picks being Jamie Jaquez Jr., Brandin Podziemski and Cam Whitmore looks awful right now.

The roster as currently constructed has very little upside in terms of being a contender. They need to move guys like Green/Jabari/picks for a star.

BullsandBroncos Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 So I just gotta say, Stephen A. Smith said the most egregious thing about basketball ever today. His sesame st starting 5: C- Big Bird PG- Elmo SG- Ernie SF- Cookie Monster PF- Oscar the Grouch how tf can you have Ernie in the lineup without Bert? If anything, you gotta choose Bert OVER Ernie.

Kingram Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Jabari Smith has been such a disappointment. Dude just got Jose Alvarado to switch onto him and didn’t shoot over him or try and take him to the post lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting up 14 and 9 on good scoring efficiency with good defense at 20 years old. If this is where he plateaus, then sure, a disappointment. But I don't see that happening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he was essentially labeled as the safest pick in the draft. He’s been a decent role player. It’s mostly just how conservative he is. Dude had a 5’8” PG on him and got rid of the ball lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
