I think I just saw the return so far (knowing Jrue wasn't staying), and was just kinda shocked at it too. I'm still pretty high on Ayton, Idk why the Suns soured on him so bad. He was pretty legit in the playoffs 2 years ago. He just doesn't seem to fit with Durant for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Interesting Gallinari at the 5? He’ll abuse opposing centers on offense but rebounding & D will suffer. I think his t/- will be good though. He still shoots it from 3 at a 38-40% clip and no back up center is guarding him on the perimeter. He’s a 90% free throw shooter. If he gets around 25 mpg you can expect 12 pts, 5 rebs & 2 assists a game as he and Gafford split time.

MikeT14 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38661109/lowe-2023-24-nba-league-pass-rankings-teams-30-11-watchability-fun Quote 30. Washington Wizards (18) Let's face it: The past 40 years have been leading to this moment, the Wiz -- so relentlessly middling their fans quiet quit on them -- slinking, unseen and unheard, to the basement. The John Wall-Bradley Beal Wizards achieved more than their reputation. They were never contenders, but nor were they some going-nowhere #SoWizards mediocrity until Wall began breaking down. They wallopped the Tom Thibodeau Chicago Bulls in the playoffs when Wall was 23 and Beal just 20. They may well have upended the 60-win Atlanta Hawks in the second round in 2015 if not for Wall's midseries wrist injury, then came within a game of the conference finals in 2017. They were silly, sure -- dousing each other with water after clinching a division title, dressing in all black for a "funeral" before a regular-season game against the Boston Celtics. They tried to manifest a rivalry with LeBron James, insisting James' Cavaliers feared them. I'm not sure those Cavaliers could even name the other 14 teams in the East. But they understood Beal and Wall brought enough supernova talent and bravado to pull an upset on the right night. With better roster moves, the Wall-Beal Wiz could have been something. They're gone now. The lottery pick that could define the franchise's next phase hasn't arrived; that is the point of this season. (Reminder: The Wiz were one pingpong ball from Victor Wembanyama.) The final six first-round picks of the Beal-Wall era have amounted to very little, though both Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert should grow into capable role players. Does Johnny Davis exist? We'll find out! It will be fun watching Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma battle for the team scoring lead, while Traditional Point Guard Tyus Jones tries to organize plays, Kispert runs around screens without ever getting the ball, and Avdija waits and waits to attack a closeout. Do you think Danilo Gallinari wakes up and wonders where he is? Hell, I could use a random Davis Bertans heat check. The in-game experience is forgettable. Only the Wizards could strike pay dirt with the best jersey in team history -- last year's cherry-blossom-themed look -- and not find a way to keep it in rotation. Daniel Gafford is an ultra-violent dunker. Delon Wright is all long arms, sneak steals and marauding offensive rebounds. I am here for Taj Gibson cashing golden parachutes as a veteran mentor.

e16bball Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Jordan Poole about to drop 60 in preseason, right in the eye hole of that article saying they’ll be the worst to watch. Fans of “firsts” will also surely be looking forward to seeing the first ever jump ball between two teammates, when Poole and Kuzma inevitably start to wrestle over the ball and refuse to let the other one have it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I don't think they're going to be as bad as everyone thinks. Poole is going to be really, really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes those teams are grouped and maybe they sneak into four or five. But I am with you, fully expect it to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
