If the 2021 draft could be redone with todays knowledge, who should be the Top-5 picks? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Top 3 is interchangeable imo with Sengun Scottie and Franz. Ill go Sengun cause I like his offensive ceiling the most

Mobley at 4

Then whichever one of Jalen Green or Cade Cunningham can become consistent and efficient. Cade is the better all around player but Green has the better tools and is also in a way better situation to develop

Cade Cunningham has played 17 games this season. He has yet to shoot over 50% from the field in a single game (alien.top)
 

He has 1 game where he shot exactly 50%. That was a 26 point effort on 12/24 shooting against the Suns. He also has only 1 game above 60% TS and that was a few nights ago against Denver where he put up 27/9. He shot 11/11 from the line that game

The last time he had a game where he shot over 50% from the field was on October 28th 2022. The time before that was March 2022 in his rookie season

Chet Holmgren tonight: 18/13/2 with 4 blocks on 5-11 FG and 8-11 FT in c/nba@nba.space

This honestly feels like a bit of a down game which is crazy for a rookie. Shows how good he's been

Rockets vs Magic young cores (alien.top)
 

Two of the most electric young teams in the league that started rebuilding around the same time. Who would you rather have moving forward?

Rockets: Sengun/Green/Smith/Eason/Thompson/Whitmore

Magic: Banchero/Wagner/Carter/Suggs/Black/Anthony

Jimmy Butler’s Agent Bernard Lee on LaMelo Ball: “his team is 1-6 in the last 7 games with the 1 win coming against the AAU team from Washington. Our definition of superstar is somewhat skewed” in c/nba@nba.space

Have yall looked at Lamelo's team lol

The only teams in NBA history with a higher TS% than OKC (.618) through the first 14 games of a season: 2017-18 Warriors, 2018-19 Warriors in c/nba@nba.space

Chet is shooting 57/46/91 or 70% TS. Absolute insanity

Forget ROTY, when are we gonna talk about getting this dude as an all star

[StatMuse] The only rookies in NBA history with 35+ PTS | 10+ REB | 5+ AST | 2+ STL | 1+ BLK | 2+ 3P in a game: Chet Holmgren and Michael Jordan in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's the ROTY and a better prospect than Wemby. Yall just don't want to admit it

1
Its time to admit Chet is a better prospect than Wemby (alien.top)
 

Not only is Chet better right now imo but he's gonna be the better player moving forward. Chet is a far better offensive player and shooter. Wemby has more potential defensively but Chet is good there too

​

James Harden this season: 16.5/5.2/4.7 on 51/38/96 splits in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's been efficient but also its being boosted by shooting 96% from the line and only taking 10 shots a game. Overall his volume will go up and his efficiency down to last years levels

Rank these 3 players long term: Shaedon Sharpe, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Green (alien.top)
 

3 athletic combo guards who each have shown flashes of stardom. Sharpe is 20 while Ivey and Green are 21. Which of these guys are you taking to build a team around?

2023-24 season stats

Green: 19/4/3 with 2.3 TOV on 40/37/79 splits (54% TS)

Sharpe: 19/6/4 with 3.5 TOV on 41/33/82 splits (53.4% TS)

Ivey: 11/2/3 with 2.2 TOV on 52/39/80 splits (63% TS). He is coming off the bench this year but averaged 16/4/5 on 53% TS last year as a rookie

1
Which one of these 3 do you believe will be the best defender long term? Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren, Evan Mobley (alien.top)
 

These 3 are each generational defensive prospects which is why its crazy that they all came into the league within a year of each other. Who would you take long term?

Overall Wemby is my answer due to his sheer length but Chet is also a monster and Mobley was a DPOY candidate at 20 so its hard to say

Cade is not good

Despite the loss, Ausar Thompson does it all: 21 PTS, 8 REB, 5 AST, 3 STL, 2 BLK on 75% shooting (9-12 FG) in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Only hope for Detroit to contend is if he becomes a superstar

1
What is Alperen Sengun's ceiling? (alien.top)
 

His potential is obviously very high but do you think he can become a superstar player and the guy for the Rockets? Similar to how Shai is for OKC, Paolo for Orlando, Wemby for SA etc. Coming into the season, the Rockets didn't really have that type of alpha player but Sengun has seperated himself from guys like Jalen Green and Jabari Smith who, while good players, don't really have that ceiling that Sengun might have

1
Has Jokic peaked at a top 10 level? (alien.top)
 

Obviously he doesn't have the accolades or longevity yet to be a top 10 player ever but just as a player is his peak in that conversation with guys like Curry, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem etc? His defense has gotten alot better and its enough to not hurt how ridiculously dominant he is on offense. Dude just makes the game look so easy and I haven't seen offensive dominance like this since prime Shaq

Which Thompson Twin Will End Up Being Better? Amen or Ausar? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was just talking about this yesterday lol

Ausar is a better shooter and is a wing, Amen is a better athlete and playmaker and is a PG

Imo Ausar has the higher floor and Amen has the higher ceiling. I'll take the ceiling guy usually since Amen's floor is pretty good also
