Is Shai vs Booker a debate? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] AashyLarry@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Its close.

Im fine being in the minority here and saying Shai.

Everyone held it against Booker that he wasn’t doing it in the playoffs until he did. It’s fine to hold Shai to the same standard.

Even still, i never doubted Booker and I don’t doubt Shai either.

what’s the difference between a foul and a continuation? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] AashyLarry@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Continuation: Foul is on a shot attempt. 2 free throws (or 3 if on a 3 attempt). Continuation is a phrase usually used when someone makes the shot (and-1), they count the basket and get 1 free throw.

Foul on the floor: Foul occurred before a shot attempt. Will not be awarded free throws unless the fouled Team is in the bonus. Also, if the shot is made it will not count because the ref thinks the foul occurred before the shot attempt.

People argue over this all the time. When a player is fouled they will try to attempt a shot and the ref will sometimes call it a shooting foul or an and-1 (continuation) and other times they will say its on the floor. It’s up to the ref to decide if the player really was attempting a shot or not.

Some players try to game this to get more free throws but it doesn’t always work.

Things that stand out:

  • Jokic #1? He is good but best in the league good?

  • Steph #5

  • Haliburton #7

  • Mitchell #8

  • Doncic #14

  • Booker #15

All of these guys are extremely high. Not saying they are all “bad defenders” but definitely average or below average.

  • Players ranked below Trae Young: Bam, White, Butler, Suggs, Caruso, OG, Turner, Davis, McDaniels, Draymond, Gobert

  • Dort is not on here?

Like you said, the sample is still small, so I won’t write it off yet, but so far, I am not impressed with this stat.

Bilal Coulibaly being left out of every top 10 rookie prospects so far is extremely surprising to me in c/nba@nba.space

  • Wizards are trash so he gets little hype
  • Wizards have the worst coach in the league, so he doesn’t start and his minutes are inconsistent
Would you say the Top 5 most IN-FORM point guards right now are: Fox, Doncic, Haliburton, LaMelo and Brunson? in c/nba@nba.space

Shai clears all of them except maybe Luka

Is Jalen Green the worst of the 2021 top picks? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] AashyLarry@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Suggs is a good defender, and yeah Green is a chucker. Even still, I would say Green is better right now.
