I know...it's one of those things. Like when people tells you so-and-so is an asshole. Then you meet them and you're like, I'm not seeing it, but everyone can't be wrong. Then you meet them like a dozen times and still think they are okay. That's what the Jody situation is like. Hell, I've fed into it. Without the reports of her not caring, I'd just think what I've now come to think: she loves the Blazers.
Do not be fooled by one draft day video.
I'm absolutely positive she can have whatever she wants for dinner every night of the year and never ever give a thought to the cost. Totally ridiculous
Haha. I tried to read them, and while they made me laugh, they also mortified me, so I had to stop. If I offended anyone, sorry (unless I insulted my archenemy @SlyPokerCat. Anything to that guy, I meant.).
Haha. Okay, fine. If I zinged you too, I'm sorry. The ceasefire remains in effect.I thought we ended last time in a civil place.
Poster Mote shared a evaluation from Blazer Assistant GM Mike Schmitz from back when he was with ESPN comparing SS to Paul George in post #379 of this thread
I have a feeling the kings and pacers are definitely gonna be living that in a few years.
Spurs must be ecstatic that they drafted Sochan!
If Mathurin makes a few All Star selections, they might be fine. But yeah Duarte last year, Mathurin this year. Very risk averse.
It was cool to see Chauncey and Joe getting their guy, when Jody joined it became awkward. She's cringe and awkward, but Aldo is right i guess, she is always at the games, shit she even sits in the war room on draft night and is celebrating the Sharpe pick
Yeah surprised no one have caught that till now
He said "seriously" and I thought he said 9th but I'm not positive on that. I definitely didn't take it to mean that he didn't play basketball in his earlier youth. I think an interesting followup question would have been at what age he was when he played on his first basketball team. When he was 15 he was on Canada's under 16 FIBA team. I don't think a year is enough time to be recognized as one of the best 12 people at that age in all of Canada. He had to be a known basketball player for years to be on that team.
From everything I've watched of him that is the comparison I keep coming back to the most. I think his ceiling is a Paul George with better offensive creation skills. I also think it's silly for anyone (looking at Marang) to say he can't play SF at some point in his career. Who cares about his height without shoes. His arm length, defensive instincts and the potential he has to still grow (just turned 19), I think it's a higher chance than most that he becomes a 3 than strictly a 2.

His lower body looks to me to have already gotten bigger since high school.
I'll let him know lmaoShould have given Durant #17
Disagree. Very few guys are still growing at 19, it's highly likely this is as tall and long as he gets. I think he could play SF just like he could play PG or PF, but size wise SG is where you ideally slot him on D as thats the size of NBA player he most resembles. In today's positionless game, there isn't much of a difference in the role that SGs and SFs play on offense. On D I'd love to see the team to have the ability to switch things as well as man up to mix their looks. As such, I want the SF to be able to reasonably be able to guard 4s and even 5s. At around 200 lbs thats not what I'd prefer to ask SS to do. I'd rather have his his length and quickness on the perimeter taking away passing lanes and 3 point looks from PGs-SFs.
