The reason why Threads failed and this platform has potential is because we show our personalities and often our alter egos on here and sometimes we don’t want to associate our instagram with what we say on here

The spam is starting to get to me over there lol. Unfortunately using these platforms is like choosing between PS or Xbox, it only matters what your friends get

Has it produced results? No. He’s still bleeding points in the 1 percentile, but you can’t fault the Nets for trying.

This is what we’re going to see in the future if/when they replace CT, if you’re the weakest link, they’ll have assignments to guard

Cam Thomas is going thru a role change on defense this season

First 3 seasons, he was being hidden as β€œlow activity”, but now he’s a β€œchaser” meaning he’s actively guarding off-ball guards

His only positive skills on D are chasing shooters and screen nav, so I think it’s been good deployment

Dalton Knecht is a player but it rips my brains out when people bring the age discourse

He’s doing what made him special in college, but he also hasn’t addressed his concerns either, especially as a defender/connective passer

Until I see improvement, he’s still regular to me

Cam Thomas isn't getting traded because nobody will want him

Unfortunately, he's still not good and an impending FA. Why would any team want to trade any semblance of assets for that?

For the sake of putting out a product to sell to the fanbase, they should keep him (he's also good for the tank)

I will always love Ben Simmons until the day he’s dead

The Giants Offense with Tommy Devito starting: 29th in EPA/Play

Defense: 10th in EPA/Play

I'm confused as to why Devito is getting blamed for playing themselves out of a QB (They passed on Nix, McCarthy, and Penix by the way)

The offense was still atrocious under him. The defense won them games

It's a collective failure by the Giants FO on the margins but explained in detail. The fortunate part is they made out a really strong offseason with the tools they had. But they had limited tools for the hiccups they did in year's past

The Giants were right to let Saquon walk but that's a side effect b/c they had so much money tied to Daniel Jones and the OL

They had to pay the OL because guys like Evan Neal were a bust, they couldn't draft

So even if their decisions were warranted, it's a chain reaction

Also I think given Ladd’s strengths and weaknesses, the Chargers were smart to deploy him in the slot to make plays in MOF

With OTs, there’s nuance there too but as of late it’s just as simple as if you’re good or not

18.11.2024 04:58 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

With how easy it is to trade for a WR, and find gems like the Chargers did with Ladd in the 2nd round

That’s why I prefer drafting an OT > WR high and I’d pay them first too.

Lower supply means higher demand even though I think an elite OT and an elite WR both benefit an offense

Of course, they don't move the same, they're two distinct human beings. But if you were to read the scouting report on what make Ace Bailey awesome and his improvement areas, you'll find yourself in a similar spot to what Jabari did a few years ago. This was a guy who some people had over Chet/Paolo

Rightfully so, Jabari Smith in the league has scared a lot of people when it comes to watching Ace Bailey. It's not like Jabari was some scrub either, he was the leading scorer for a team that finished top 10 in the nation as an 18 year old. Shot 40% from 3

I think Bailey's a better shotmaker tho

any other scoring prospect I've ever evaluated.

He hasn't done any space creation buckets (at least not yet) but the lack of wasted movements and OTD shooting makes him a lethal offensive player

Lack of rim volume at the college level is always a red flag, it means you can't bend a college defense. But man Tre Johnson's scoring ability, especially off the dribble, is something I want to bet on

What is selling me his how tight and creative his handle is. He's the closest to DBook than

The only way you can get by this is having a historic shotmaking season. That's why I loved Sensabaugh as a prospect, and other than him, I've faded all the others who've followed. Nobody has done well in the league (at least offensively) with these concerns. It's a bad sign against college defenses

There's hardly any bigger red flags to me than the label "tough shot maker". Why do you think someone takes tough shots? It's either a skill concern (no handle), athleticism concern (can't get to the basket), or a shot selection concern (feel)

The worst thing about NBA Twitter is the aggregator accounts. They not only repurpose other people's work, they force the discourse to be about gossipy drivel like "Chandler Parsons says ____ about ____, do you agree?!?" I'm begging y'all, starve those accounts out. Do not support them.
