It's the passing/playmaking that separates Huerter from Svi, outside of the shooting. |
I think Svi has shown good playmaking instincts... it's just Huerter plays 26 minutes a game and Svi plays less than ten.
I'm not saying he'd be better than Huerter... but I don't see how we can make that assessment until he's getting regular minutes. |
He's been flashing it even when he had limited PT.
There are just certain angles that Huerter makes that Svi doesn't. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

AC joint separation and out indefinitely. He's more important to Duke's success than RJ Barrett, imo, and they have no adequate backup. _________________ Under New Management |

Mike, I'm an incognito Twitter follow, but wanted to reply here that my 1st concert was Pennywise and I attended with my friend and his mom who drove us. She made us wear earplugs, we stood in the back for 99% of the show, but she let us get closer to the stage for one song whereupon we of course immediately snuck into the mosh pit with grown adults. Well, my friend got knocked down after a minute or so and broke his wrist. He was the man, though, because he lied about it/didn't say anything until we were in the car after the show - I got dropped off at home and he went to the ER.
We remain friends to this day. _________________ Under New Management |

Sounds like a Pennywise day.
Dude behind me was like 6'4" and hipster-ish and was super inappropriate physically to the junior high girls in front of me (I was just 15 at the time), so he earned a busted lip and a kick out of the building. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I know nothing about HS basketball, so sorry if it’s a silly question, but why do we have a player from Washington in the East and players from Florida and N.Jersey in the West? Makes no sense to me _________________ .... |

If the season ended today, we would have the 15th pick of the NBA draft. |

Why 15th? We're currently out of the playoffs. We'd be in the lottery |

Is having a lottery pick this year the worst thing in the world? Asking for a friend...
(Also, this is the year the odds change among the lottery teams, no?) |

It isn't... we'd get a second agent plus LBJ, plus a lotto pick and the core.
The only thing stupid would be trading the core plus the picks for AD. |

yeah, those things never make sense....similar in college football to the Senior Bowl this weekend....it is North vs. South, but it is all mixed in a similar fashion....should just be something like American vs. National....or Red vs. Blue. |

nah that would be the smart thing. I dont believe in trading away young prospects and picks for the heck of it but if you have arguably the GOAT on your team and still in the prime and you have the opportunity to lock in multiple championship runs you do it 100 times out of 100. |

He was hyped to be the next Westbrook. I don't see him having the same athleticism in terms of speed but he might be a late bloomer. |

If we fell to 10... we'd have a 17% chance of getting a top four pick. |

i know but i dont want to raise my hopes so high, i just want us to be ready for
a player between 10-15 cause it seems that in the last draft we werent that ready. |

I wish.
I personally have him Top 5 in this draft. Had an eye on him last year, but he made a leap this season, much bigger than anticipated. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

not sold on Zion at all. I dont think he's a bust but think chances are he will be one of those players who will be more highlights and flash than substance. And he's one of those players who's already been through elite player development programs so even though he is young he may have already fleshed out a good amount of the skills he can reasonably develop. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |
