In those cases there are smoking guns though, I think Bamba just is uncoordinated and too big or else theoretically you can argue that everyone who failed to become who people thought they were are NBA busts, and that would probably be most of the league because you only have a certain percent of starters/all-stars.

But is there a specific incident of this player doing something that matches this opinion or statement, or is this some random reddit user, where if so, who cares? :lol:


That i dunno... but i do know there are quite a few players who does not like playing bball but found out it pays them a lot of dough. So they just give the bare minimum ( tbf a lot of 9-5 workers are ike this lol )

I forgot which college/draft board it was that questioned Wares desire to play ball. Lol thats why in my initial post i was questioining it and if others here have sources to confirm or deny. Cuz he really is in our target...

It takes guards to long to mature. We should trade or sign a FO for immediate needs.

We don't. Address it via FA or trade and let Black/Jett settle in where they may, or include them for an elite guard.

Oh i dunno... same archetype. 6'8 SF with sweet shooting 3s. Not quick enough for the SG spot. Will let fly even with just a sliver of daylight.

Playing time is probably the difference. If Houstan doesnt play well we yank him out ASAP. While WAS... well....

Let’s be honest. Kispert would have played and now has much more experience than Houston. They aren’t even close to the same level.

If Ingles is not brought back, this is good value for that draft asset.

As someone who was frontrunning the TYUS ( because i followed him at Duke) and KISPERT ( because of his hot GF... ok because i followed him and Suggs in that GON run) before the rest here were even aware of it .. i can honestly say im not too sure about that with the addition of Jingles and the drsire of our FO to play Fultz.

I really don’t want to draft any injured players. We aren’t desperate for talent and or tanking. Taking fliers on injured players doesn’t map to our goals.

Fultz and Isaac "projects" made a lot of sense at the time. Isaac worked out but Fultz was worth a shot (at least initially)...we're not there anymore-no time or assets to waste.

Having said that, I don't know the severity or prognosis of Topic's injury.

Yves Missi is growing on me. He had a good combine too.
