Are they showing the draft on NBA TV? I have no idea where to catch it in Europe otherwise.

So much wrong in this post. And it's not easier to show in person. I already know. Dipping the ball is completely unnecessary.

Then (no offense) you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why do all great shooters dip the ball?

It's likely at least one of them is.

I wish I was wrong about Connaughton but Olshey is too predictable.

And the vets might not all come in FA so technically you could be right. Wouldn’t change the numbers though.

CHRIST ALMIGHTY! @BonesJones can you seriously not go one fucking day without overtaking a thread (or the whole damn board) with a petty, pointless argument?

This isn't a contest. You don't win anything by always having the last word. You're entitled to your own opinion, so is Dviss, but what the hell does this have to do with the NBA draft and why does it need an entire page worth of posts about it?!?

JUST LET SOME OF THESE THINGS GO DUDE. PLEASE!

I don't understand his need to patronize everyone about everything in every thread. Must be a real joy to be around in person.

He said "So much wrong with this post".. so I responded in kind? Maybe I was more blunt but he basically implied I didn't know what I was talking about since there was so much wrong in my post. Sorry...

I know Stomp or someone called me out on this but this is why indont consider Durant a good/ great playmaker for his team mates. The entire point of hitting a guy in his shooting pocket is to prevent any unneeded movements in the shooters motion. You hit them in their “shooting pocket”, like Lebron is really good at and it makes it much easier and faster to get off a good shot. Now Durant’s gotten better.
The point is the shooting motion should be a smooth ride up. Now I would argue many NBA players have unique shooting motions, and having some unnecessary movement doesn’t mean a guy won’t be able to get his shot off, but it does make it harder to get off his shot, needs more space than others, may have to change the release of the ball more often when defenders close out things like that.

Curry’s shot is lightning quick, if there’s a “dip” it’s only really noticeable in slow motion.

But if you look at almost all great shooters the motion to shoot almost never has a dip, and when it does, that means they need a lot of space to shoot.

This is why Meyers Leonard has always had problems at 7 feet tall getting the shot off his motion has way to much unnecessary stuff AND it’s slow.

So I basically agree with @dviss1 on this.

So if players catch the ball at shoulder height or close to it the ball should only travel straight up? Just trying to understand what you're talking about.

If a player catches the ball at shoulder height it wasn’t a good pass to begin with, very few guys shooting motions starts that high, shooting pocket for most guys is chest.

Huh? By shooting pocket do you mean set point?
 
What's funny is, I've heard Dviss say that as much as anyone. Nobody says anything. The moment I say it (in a respectful manner), I get bashed.

THE moment? I could give 2 shits about your stupid argument about dips in shooting. I'm talking about you as a poster. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY you get into some stupid petty argument about some banal, trivial bullshit that derails entire threads. I tried to address it with you in private and you clearly ignored everything I had to say, so here we are. You're certainly not the only one who engages in it, but you're the most frequently guilty of it. It literally affects my enjoyment of reading this board. I come here less, and participate less because I don't want to have to sift through your stupid argument(s) de jour.
 
Back on track here,



This has to be a good sign for our draft. Get rid of all the curses before the big day.

You only quoted part of that second post, if you can get 4 strictly for taking Parsons you do it and hopefully Doncic is there and you have that 3 guard lineup. If the asking price becomes CJ for the opportunity to draft Doncic then you give up CJ. More clear?
 
Starting to like the idea of Huerter if we can't get someone better. Seems to have that killer instinct on releasing threes and decent skills to go with it. Would love to have someone next to Dame or CJ, or manning the SF spot with both who everyone knows you absolutely can't leave open.

I haven't gotten in a serious argument in about a month, actually.

I literally use a phrase that Dviss uses constantly without having argued with anyone in a month, and I have multiple people freak out at me. It's unfair and it's absolute BS that you freak out at THAT dude. A phrase that many people use constantly. I could go a year and treat everybody better than anyone else on this board, and the second I say something that's common-place, I get BS like this. So why even try? The moment anybody acts wrongly towards me, I still get the same 5 to 7 dudes that sit here and are always ready to make a snide ass remark, insult, and/or to completely blow things out of proportion.

You came in here and made it 10 times worse bud. I don't understand people escalating drama by complaining about drama. If you don't want to sift through it, ignore me.
 
My worst nightmare of Draft Night: "With the 24th pick, Portland selects Grayson Allen". Might be followed closely by picking Simons in the first round.
