Big games coming up in regards to lottery odds.

Nets vs Hornets tonight
Wizards vs Raps playing twice

Jazz come to Philadelphia tomorrow night with
The Sixers on a back to back

Pels on back to back with Rockets and Memphis

Toronto are putting in their best effort to get into the play in. Brooklyn need to rest Cam Thomas because he keeps trying to win games.

Yesterday the Hornets lost by one point to the Cavs

With 21 wins they are 6th right now. Hope we lose the rest of the games this season.

Cooper plays in 30mins

Flagg injured and in a wheelchair.

Raps beat the Sixers last night and fall to the 5th worst record in the league meaning they are likely to keep their pick

March Madness becomes March Sadness.

This guy is way more advanced offensively than I assumed based on how people talked about him after the summer. He's clearly good NBA starter level offensively already. It's crazy to think most of his hype was based on defense.

He got off to a slow start with his jumper. He also was pretty turnover prone early on. Once his jumper started falling it became obvious he would be the top pick.

Just won the Oscar Robinson NPOY. He's the fourth (KD, AD, Zion) freshman to win the award. He's the youngest of them and did it in a much tougher college playing environment with NIL, the portal transfer, and super seniors due to COVID.

Still have the AP and Naismith NPOY awards to go.

Tougher college environment? That’s a stretch.

I don't see superstar. He's not good enough with the ball in his hands and he's never going to be an off ball 3 pt assassin like Curry.

I also think his defense as it relates to the NBA level is way overrated. He's not a generational perimeter/interior defender combo at all.

#2 guy on a title team most likely. Still great to have.

Thats what I see at this point too. Altho Id qualify it by saying hes still years away from his prime. So he could still be due for significant improvement on where he is now. His natural combination of tools/instincts will be pretty good by NBA standards, but they dont feel historic. As Ive said all along, I see a Franz Wagner type, borderline allstar who can be a net plus on a good team. But not a perennial MVP candidate most likely.

seems like the very typical jock in high school who was a complete meat head

I think his mentality is something being overlooked quite a bit here. He's an absolute warrior and competitor of the highest level already, and the improvements he's made to his game just this year alone suggest to me that he's not done growing on offense in the slightest. He's stronger and more of a dog than Franz, albeit not as smooth. At least not yet.

I see kind of a Pippen level player. Never a true MVP guy but perhaps a top 5-10 guy in the league in his best years and potentially an enormous contributor on a team that wins titles.

Ultimate glue guy.

Ultimate glue guy.

if mentality is a factor, he's more or less a mix of Andre Iguodala and Scottie Barnes.

I’ll take that on the Sixers
