my job is the same as cat barber's name... he also just legitimately SHOOK GPII and has looked the best player out there. May rise to the first if he can maintain this performance.

Cat Barber should gay marry Thon Maker and become Cat Maker. He's also very fast and fun to watch but that's less important

Is this draft deep enough that Toronto should keep both their picks if they're shut out of the top 3?

straight up brolic posted:I'm not convinced that late-lottery guys will be much different than early second rounders this year. There's some interesting guys, but not a lot of starter talent. So if somebody offers a quality starter for Pat Patterson, both firsts, and cap filler, Toronto should go for it?

Jay Bilas talking about how Ben Simmons might never learn how to shoot adequately. He's nineteen loving years old good lord. I hate draft talk sometimes.

There's five machines that produce five things in five minutes. Now consider a hundred machines. How long does it take them to produce 100 things? NBA execs are very tricksy

Everytime its said to be a bad draft outside of top 3, about 5 1st rders turn into legit players. I see that happening again. Not stars btw, just quality 4th or 5th best player types. Rooting for the cat barber. Anyone else have a name that can double as a nickname?

Rooting for the cat barber. No one thinks it's a good draft outside of 2 not 3. But that doesn't necessarily mean that people think it's all completely terrible players and that you can't find possible contributors, just that there arent a lot of sure things or potential stars beyond the top 2.

There are honestly a decent amount of intriguing guys from mid lottery onward, and then a few late first early second round guys. They all have big holes in their games, or they're raw, or they have arms as long as as oars and can't make a layup, but there seem to be some players.

Yeah there are lots of raw guys who could hypothetically be something with a lot of improvement (Skal) and some guys who seem like they could be rotation guys but not necessarily stars (Sabonis). But only two guys who seem like they have a halfway decent shot at being potential franchise guys, and even both of them have fairly significant holes

Yeah i just meant in general theyll say its a 2 player draft and the rest is awful, this is the worst draft since whatever. Not here so much, though sa isnt without hype sometimes. Basically just saying that it seems like drafts that people are q bit down on turn out the Milsap's and Thomas' seemingly more, maybe im wrong. Also, i just like picks 20-60 coming out and surprising.

I don't understand does it take the five machines collectively five minutes to produce five things so that each machine only makes one thing every five minutes or does each machine make five things every five minutes, and if they do make five things every five minutes are they producing at a constant rate or is it like at the end of five minutes five things pop out of one machine but before five minutes you have no things or does it accelerate or slow in thing production as the five minutes elapse? This question is worded poorly and I will not be joining your slipshod organization I'm joining Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü'nün basketbol instead edit: a thing was a machine EvanTH fucked around with this message at 05:42 on May 13, 2016 |

Crazy Ted posted:Huh? There's still plenty to talk about when it comes to who goes where, but it's just a lot harder to look at a prospective draft class and say "this group of draftees sucks" when some of them aren't even done growing yet. He's talking about raising epistemological concerns in the draft thread, there's no satisfying response to 'I don't want to judge them, yet.' They're being judged. They will be judged. This is how I see it all. 1. The main body of NBA success, we can say the trunk, is size and athleticism, can this be observed and measured? Yes 2. The second, we'll call it the arms, of NBA success is skill, can this be observed and measured? Yes observed, Measured only to some degree 3. The legs of success are desire, will, can they be measured? Only in little slices 4. The head of success is ability to work as part of a team, this is something observable but it cannot be measured 5. The brain of success is the ability to learn new skills/improve existing ones, this is in no way measurable, it can only be 'felt' or guessed at. So we have 2 very important factors which can be observed and measured, and 3 which are ephemeral. Scouts will measure what can be measured and feel what can be felt. As for calling drafts good/bad/whatever, it's a product of draft coverage. If a draft is supposed to hold multiple guaranteed all stars, it's called good, if the fates of the players are up in the air, or if there is potential but no promise, then it's not called a good draft. That's it. It's a way of managing fan expectations. Paul Millsap was a second round draft pick, and yet every year about 27 second round picks do nothing in the NBA. We're knowing what we know and we're not knowing what we do not know.
