PHO not ready for OKC's suffocating Defense.

It's either OKC or the Spurs, and the Spurs probably aren't playoff hardened enough yet. Of course, 7'4" and mobile can make up for a ton of inexperience.Originally Posted by Kingspoint

OKC has a 7.4% chance of getting a Top-4 pick in this draft. They'll also have two other 1st Round picks.

Dillom Brooks is an uber punk. How do players such as Draymond Green and he stay in the league? Does someone need to be seriously injured?

1st play of the game Wembyama takes out and injures Avdija with a full-flying body slam that any WWE member would be proud of. No call.
So, that's how the officiating is going to go for the rest of the playoffs. Expected this, but not so blatant. Try to steal game 2.

Kon Knueppel was named ROY. They got that wrong. There isn't a GM in the league that would trade Cooper Flagg for him, unless they were on drugs.

The people who cast the votes aren't qualified to make them.

Terry Cummings was named ROY in 1983, and deservingly so. He outperformed all rookies that season. Though Terry had a nice career - probably should be a Hall of Famer - no GM would have traded James Worthy or Dominique Wilkins for Cummings. This is a similar situation.

Yup. Kneuppel was the clear offensive performance outlier among rookies- posting up a whopping 60% shooting efficiency (that's near-peak Steph Curry efficiency). But I wouldn't trade either Flagg or Edgecombe for the guy.

Speaking of being on drugs - Spurs GM passed on both Edgecombe and Kon to draft Dylan Harper. Yikes dawg.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Is VORP basketball WAR? It stands for Value over Replacement Player. Knuppel was 3.1 to Flagg's 2.0 according to Basketball Reference.
Knuppel winning ROY has been a foregone conclusion for a while. Doesn't mean he'll have a better career than Flagg necessarily.
