Problem is that the AI view is talking about early rotations, where Keldon and Vassell are both known for (and still do) ball watch in not only losing track of their man, but the entire opposition team other than the guy with the ball. Sochan's one on one defence is NOT good this year, not even...

Lots of credit to Wemby on that one too. Shai saw Wemby and had to do a pivot. Otherwise he would've shot that without doing the spin.

That ai view would’ve made sense if KJ and Vassell are not getting time as well but they are getting time and contributing. Both were arguably worse defenders and ball watched even worse last year but they’ve adapted. Like RC drunkford pointed out his defence has been ass this year as well...

I think (hope) this playbook won’t work anymore with Fox and the emergence of castle. Spurs were trying hard to force feed wemby earlier on because they can send doubles to him and not worry about others quickly taking advantage of that. Now fox and castle can create quick offence with single...

He’s baaaaaack!!! :st-praise: Please accept my apologies and thank you for the crow.

Until we win a title we will always be the kings/blazers of the lakers to OKC.

Did that guy try to talk critical thinking skills by arguing against three year trends with single game samples? It’s like a special kind of stupid.

Sochan has clearly taken a step back this year. All that confidence is gone. He is hesitant not just shooting basketball but every single thing. Gortat is pretty much spot on in that he can’t ride one thing. Sochans defense is good, his pick and roll game as a roller is good. He rebounds...

Kon is producing in his role more than Harper and should be ranked higher because of that. I would still say Harper, based on what I’ve seen, has a higher upside and kon is doing really well. Barnes is too high. I’d put Cade at 2 and jdub at 3. Ant goes down to 4.

The lakers are 17-7 now but their net rating has their expected record at 13-11. Last year 50-32 vs 44-38 Before that 47-35 vs 42-40 43-39 vs 42-40 The it’s the same record vs expected record the the two years prior. It’s rare for a team to outperform their expected record by 5 or 6 games...

My take is to build around Flagg like he’s a super Jalen Johnson. Surround him with long switchable defensive wings. They already have lively and gafford so that roller rim protector spot is fine. After they load up on the wings they can then look for a big guard like the Harper’s and the...

I’m very interested in how OKC would guard castle and Harper. Dort vs castle with that physicality would be a good test. Shai/JDub on Harper and Caruso on fox. It would great gauge on how far along our three guards are along.

Not necessarily. Both of their numbers are skewed when compared to each other. Reality is that Sengun is in year 5 at 23 years old, Sabonis Year 10 at 29 years old, so Sabonis is entering or already in his prime, while Sengun should be a few years away, but Sengun, other than rebounding, is...

Depends on what you mean by shoot better. Sabonis shoots a good number of shots from 3-10, while Sengun shoots quite a few from 10-16. By distance, so far this year (the numbers are always Sabonis then Sengun): - Saboins and Sengun are basically the same from 0-3 feet (.672 vs, .667) - Sengun...

come on man. Sengun is a much better offensive engine than Sabonis it’s now even close. Sabonis can rebound better and that’s it, he’s an even worse defender than sengun and sengun isn’t even that bad on defense. He’s just not great.
