Basketball nerd, runner, got any suggestions for fantasy books to read?
Portland is another good fit if they jump to 4th pick- already have some onball guys- Scoot, Shaedon, Deni and need spacing.

Allows them to go jumbo lineups with Scoot, Toumani, Deni, Ace, Clingan

I don’t know what happened..but I tried to auto option and Flagg went 5th. I’m pretty sure I have some weird input accidentally but it was funny

The Wendell Carter comp in this draft is Thomas Sorber for me. I don’t know what Queen is but I know he is good. The skills at that size is something

Not watching this live but do you think there is a world in which Queen gets in shape and end up as a 4 in the nba? He seem to move well considering his bulk and has elite hands

@motorcityhoops.bsky.social whoops ..forgot to tag Bryce

This one definitely does NOT work but how Moses Brown end up with his current shooting mechanics flummox me

I don’t think the league is going to care about Jerami Grants and Anfernee Simons sitting out a few games with a headache
March 15, 2025 at 2:59 AM
Give me one of Cooper/CMB….wanna see Toumani, Deni, Cooper/CMB, Clingan play defense
March 14, 2025 at 7:23 AM
As a Portland fan, I haven’t paid too close attention any small guards for obvious reasons. But….VJ’s shot(I understand not everyone is sold on that) and defense gives him a safe floor.

There is a world in which Fears just washes out with the iffy shot, high tovs for a lead guard, not as good on D
March 14, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Is he? He is the anti blazer from the Dame years. We didn’t play anyone over 6’6 who could defend.

The current team? Yeah SURE. Toumani kinda does similar things though

As someone with some FO experience, how do you evaluate prospects with strength deficiencies? Saw Jon Butler Jr’s name today and started thinking. These guys tend to take way more time than expected - makes me wonder about Will Riley and Markovic. Guess there are successes like Anfernee
March 7, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Markovic and Ruzic(esp Ruzic since he missed a lot of the season with an injury) are super interesting
March 7, 2025 at 5:58 PM
What’s going to be one big thing he will be focusing on this offseason?
March 6, 2025 at 6:17 PM
lol. It’s nuts. Portland aren’t a good 3 pt shooting team but they got doubled from 3…22-46 vs 11-32.
Also Prichard went off last year at Moda center too if I remember.
March 6, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Do they …always shoot like this?😅
March 6, 2025 at 1:42 AM
Good data! Eye test says restricted area attempts hve reduced I.e., he has stopped taking attempts he was missing last year. Is the total number of attempts in restricted area around the same?
March 5, 2025 at 4:16 PM
I quite like Riley. The stock numbers are scary low though even though eye tests says he claws and scraps
March 5, 2025 at 6:06 AM
Yeah..slim pickings there.

1. What do you make of Will Riley’s season? Off to a hot start, struggled and bouncing back now but mostly by improving as a creator and scoring inside vs a hot shooting stretch

2. What was Carter Bryant’s pre college game like? Any pull up scoring upside?
March 5, 2025 at 5:54 AM
Best bets to be pull up scorers with forward size outside of Cooper/Ace?
March 5, 2025 at 5:23 AM
That’s where I’m at too. Sneak in at 10- win first, lost 2nd, pick 13. Would suck not to add a decent pick this year though
March 4, 2025 at 7:37 PM
Out of curiosity - what’s your tentative order of preference on Essengue, CMB, Asa, Carter Bryant, McNeely, Kon
March 4, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Where I’m hopeful vis a vis other defense first guys like Ryan Dunn who had absolutely no offensive skills is CMB can do a bunch of stuff. He is a decent ball handler for a 4, he is an above average passer fora. 4, he can definitely punish a mismatch…it’s the shot
March 3, 2025 at 4:55 PM
I get that. For me, I’m always wary of undersized inside out guys in college. But the more I watch, the more I’m hooked…esp the defense. Legit think it’s special- saw him defend bigs to wings to guards no problem while quarterbacking the defense. It’s a bet that the shot gets to okay on offense
