Does any fanbase that had Uncle Jeff on it not appreciate him? Seeing him yam on some random dude once a week last year was so fun, and it seems all his former teammates love him.

Steals + blocks. Because they are each such volatile stats some people roll them into a single thing, hence stocks.
One thing that's interesting, pretty sure he started the season slow then got a bunch right at the end. If he ramps it up later in the season again he might finally break 30 in a regular season.
Was curious what MPJ's career high in points was... 39 against the Rockets in 2021. Guess he wants to set a new career high against the same team.
MPJ forgot how to miss I guess. Well this should be fun.
The odds he stays healthy enough to ever win MVP if he stayed in NO is incredibly low. It isn't like the idea of AD being day-to-day was new to his time on the Lakers. It was a risk they were willing to take on because the upside if he could stay healthy for a playoff run was a title in their eyes (which was clearly correct, even if they needed specific conditions to make it easier to stay healthy, and to be clear this isn't shitting on the Lakers every title has some favorable conditions of if nothing else health of traditionally healthy players [See: GSW's last year with KD where they couldn't win because of injuries]).
I'm so curious what this does to our bench rotation. I'm not sure DAJ is currently ready to play backup minutes every night, but after that performance he deserves to play some with the bench unit once everyone is healthy, and specifically him and Reggie should get more time together to PnR opposing benches to death.
Sengun is at a minimum on the short list and I could certainly see it. Will be curious.
Yeah but most of them aren't doing it on this efficiency....
I never understood the hype. I dunno who should have gone #1 even looking back (Maybe Barnes now that he's starting to turn a corner again after a bad sophomore season) but I always felt like Cade didn't look the part of a top pick.
They might be able to make the playin but I'd be surprised at any better then that, and even with Ja back with such a limited front court I don't see them contending with any of the top end teams in the west, which leaves them at a first round exit.
I know this is crazy to say with Ja still being so young but it sorta feels like they should tank and hope for a legit draft pick since Ja ensured their shit season (even before the Adams injury's seriousness came to light)
Plus side for you Luka still hasn't hit his prime, he can still make another significant jump in overall ability.
