Reed is really turning into Jimmer with a green light.

how can you have a second half like that ????

19 points
4/37 shooting
27 shots missed out of the last 28

that's crazy. and OK, Orlando is offensively really bad but still, they showed heart this serie, what happened to them in a half that could close out the serie for them ??

 

[STAT88]

even Ron Holland has been unplayable in the playoffs.

Sarr and Castle looking like the only 2 hits in the entire draft.

That is one of the worst classes in history. Are we sure it’s better than 2000?

Edey is good but doesn’t look like his body will hold up. Clingan is decent. Buzelis puts up nice numbers but seems like an empty calories/low efficiency guy. McCain is a good bench piece.

Not much else there.

Ware
George
Shannon Jr
Scheierman
Filipowski
Kolek
Mitchell
Wells
Ighodaro
Shead
Post
Spencer


A lot of very solid players with Mitchell, George, Ware, and maybe Wells having future All Star potential.

Between Risacher DNPs & Sheppard's brickfest, GMs gonna lose jobs down the roads for passing on Castle.

Spurs might have lucked into Wemby and Harper. But they did some damn good work with Castle. Even some fans on here wanted Sheppard or were mad we traded Dillingham instead of Castle lol.

never went for layups, strictly corner threes and floaters/long jumpers

I'm thinking the opposite, actually.. can't remember a second round this deep, maybe ever with a very deep line of late first rounders being useful.. The boom or bust prospects though, they were absolutely hilarious
(holland, buzelis, salaun, reed, knecht, dillingham) with only bustelis hitting and the others being absolutely world class bad.
