What does highest average speed mean? Averaged over what?

Even verajoa made some plays in earlier games, but everyone jumps on him for earning some minutes due to his earlier hustle plays.

Pretty much. The Warriors have won 140 regular season games and 1 title over the past two season, yet all of this is now meaningless because they lost the finals, after seven games, by a total of 4 points? Kerr is bad, Curry shook, Klay's a bitch, Dray is, well, Dray, and so, in conclusion: shut it down. Shut it all down. Lots of incredible hot takes out there right now.

It's too soon now, but I'm really curious to see how this team is viewed in like 10 or 20 years, especially if they don't end up winning another title with the Splash Brothers there. It's very possible nobody will come close to their records except maybe the home win streak.

Yep. Ezeli played 10 minutes and Varejao 8. Cleveland was looking to back down any defender they had advantage on. Trying to play more Brandon Rush or whatever would have been even worse.

http://www.basslinespin.com/nbadraftreport.htm

quote:

Steve Francis - Maryland. 6'3" 200. Explosive off the dribble! Plays with a Van Exel-like offensive aggression. He isn't a pure point but he is all-basketball player. In college, he got to the basket with ease, penetrating at will. He averaged nearly five free throw attempts per game at Maryland, and converted at a 78% clip. When a defense lies off him, he can hit the deep shot (39% last season from 3pt-range). He doesn't always finish plays because his shot selection is still a bit suspect. He showboats. He has great quickness, and outstanding leaping ability. He is willing to D up. He will excite the crowd with flashy passes and plays, and he will dunk on many. His crossover dribble is a certified ankle-buster. Shooting and shot selection will be the issues for Francis - but with his ability and strong will, he'll more than make up for a couple questionable plays per game.

He's pretty accurate about all the top prospects

quote:

Jonathan Bender. High School. Mobile, agile and quick. Young, and raw. A gifted athlete. He shot 85% from the free throw line in high school. Goes to the offensive glass with natural instinct. Nice outside shooting touch to go with slender 6'11" 200 lb. Frame. He's a 6'11" small forward with deep range and the kind of leaping ability that allows him to jump over people! Might take a while to develop but should be well worth the wait.
Was Jonathan Bender like A good Skal Labissiere? I have no memory of him

quote:

Ron Artest - St. John's. 6'6" 235. A versatile performer, who at 6'6" 235 can run a team with his leadership skills, and unselfish play. He'll stuff a stat sheet like Danny Manning. Passing, scoring, and hitting the boards. He plays with perfect basketball posture, and with passion. He is not a great shooter. He hits threes at a 38% clip. What he does best is get his teammates involved. He averaged 4.3 assists last season (St. John's point guard Erick Barkley averaged 4.5 assists). I see him as a team-guy that in the near future will be a valuable asset to any squad.
