My pick is Anthony Edwards. He's great, but people talking about MVP potential need to slow it down.

Bam Adebayo - how this dude at 25 years old has more All-Defense selections(4) than Smart (3), JJJ(2), Brook(2), Marc Gasol(1), Myles Turner(0), Sheed(0), Bynum(0), Jermaine O’Neal(0), and many more is beyond me… there’s only a handful of guys currently in the league that have 4+ selections (PG, Kawhi, CP3, Giannis, Gobert, Draymond, AD, and Jrue) like he has the same number of selections as AD, Jrue, and PG… he’s very good but i just find him overrated and that’s my subjective opinion

this one will sting to admit but Pacers fans very much overrate Andrew Nembhard right now - he’s got amazing potential and has stepped up for big moments but he’s only played one year for a bottom-10 Pacers team. fans really told me they wouldn’t trade him for Jrue when he was available from Portland and like sure timing wise i get it but Nembhard is our backup PG and competing against TJ McConnell who can just as well fill that role…if we can get a difference maker player who can start and fill a need for the Pacers I would definitely consider trading Nembhard to make that happen

Brunson - i’m here to ignite the rivalry between Indy and NYK again and Brunson got John Starks written all over him to me. Hope Haliburton can be our Reggie.

Bam is underrated. Forget the advanced metrics, just watch footage of him being POA defender on the other team's best player every single game, even shifty guards.

Other than both being Knicks, what do Brunson and Starks have in common?

[–] basher505@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think he is trying to say Brunson is going to choke in game 7 of the finials like Starks did and is hoping Hali retires ringless like Reggie did.
