  1. Thought it was fine. Girl was hot. Probably no need to ever revisit it.
  2. To be clear, my post was justifying him going #1 overall in general in this class, not to Houston at #3 I don't love the Clingan and Sengun pairing. You need to be confident that Sengun can become a spacer from three and that Clingan is just too good/safe to pass on, or you need to feel that you can't win big with Sengun and are looking to trade him for a star (like the Sabonis trade), and view Clingan as his eventual replacement I'm usually "when in doubt, take a wing" since when they don't hit, they're at least holding their trade value better than bigs or guards that don't hit, and there should be a wide variety of flavors of wings at #3, although all of them have some sort of major flaw for picking at that spot. The swing for upside pick there might be Holland. Similar to Amen, if he learns to shoot, he might have all-NBA potential. Castle is in the same boat, although as a guard.
  3. I hate the fit with Sengun, unless you play on eventually trading one of them
  4. His role as something between Walker Kessler and Rudy Gobert is probably the highest floor in this draft. If you just want a bankable player, then he could make sense
  5. The Rockets beat writer mocks Clingan at #3
  6. Funny listening to Chiney talk about a “snub” after her sister got it last time around
  7. He's smaller in stature than FVV He’s got more length than FVV “He’ll get switched to death” What do you think teams will do to Knecht?
  8. The guards who made it are flat out better than her right now. She might be better in two years, but I think the merits argument is less convincing than an “interest” argument
  9. It was dumb from an interest/views perspective. It’s not necessarily a snub though. Nneka’s was worse. It’s similar to Kyrie and Brunson not making it because the men’s team is so loaded, but her probably having less of an argument than those two Funny thing is she would have only seen garbage time minutes.. which would have actually been considerable due to how much better they are than everyone else. So everyone would stay tuned through blowouts so they could catch all of her minutes
  10. I mean, it’s very possible. US women’s is loaded The more I think about it, the more it probably made sense to keep her off. She would have been buried on the bench, and everyone question from the media would have been about her
  11. The bigger snub was Nneka last time around
  12. Probably not
  13. I don’t think knecht is under consideration at #3. Maybe if Houston trades down with Memphis
  14. He’ll defend point in a similar fashion to FVV, while logging a lot of stocks On offense, he’ll play a similar role to White, and he potentially could be one of the best shooters in the league
  15. He’s three years older than Sheppard, and would be a sub par defender as a wing
  16. Watching the game last night, I was wondering if Derrick White could be the comp for Reed Sheppard, but looking at measurables, Reed just doesn't have nearly the wingspan It's more like "plays like Derrick White (but maybe an even better shooter), at a slightly larger than Fred VanVleet size" Is that archetype worth the #3 pick in this draft for Houston?
  17. The first case schedule means you really need to cake care of the divisional games, unless you're ready to beat the other returning #1s at a high clip That 3 game stretch at the end of the season is rough. Need to go into that stretch with a comfortable lead in the division to where going 2-2 over the last four still wins it for you

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    I think McKay is still heavily influential*, and while we'll never find out, I bet he was the primary voice that was instrumental in spiking Belichick * he's now overseeing all of Blank's sporting interests including the Falcons. He's Blank's Wormtongue https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-make-cosmetic-changes-to-rich-mckays-title-and-official-duties And while Atlanta ended up making a very strong head coaching hire, the personnel side is still entrenched and proceeded to make the most batshit crazy top ten pick we've seen
  19. I don't know where to start with this post
  20. I'm guessing that Ime is going to prefer Castle
  21. Yet, he's an extremely impactful player The issue is more about his awkward fit with Sengun than any sort of testing

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    I thought Rich McKay was the primary influence for everything there, including Belichick getting spiked
  23. If you take a straight average of Givony, Vecenie, and Hollinger, here's the rankings 1) Sarr 2) Clingan 3) Topic 4) Castle 5) Sheppard 6) Holland 7) Buzelis '8) Risacher 9) Dillingham (pretty big tier break) 10) Knecht 11) Williams 12) Filippowski 13) Collier 14) Carter
