@bayimports dunno yet
certainly looks like it. But then watching Zion Williamson in college it looked like he would dominate too, and he can't stay on the court. Will that lanky streak of piss stay healthy? Can he handle being bodied by other freak NBA athletes?
That length and those ball skills does look like another Kevin Durant. And KD is really fucking good.
Like that guy OKC drafted this year. Looks like he'd blow away in a decent wind and already succumbed to a season ending injury in preseason
-
Here is a good summary from my favourite basketball YouTube on Victor.
-
@bayimports I think a season in pro ball in France will be good for him (and probably better than playing college, given his prospects for next years draft).
I watched that game and I don’t think he is like KD. When KD was playing for Uni of Texas, he had that edge in his game and mentality. Bought that to his first season with Seattle and the rest is history. The kid has talent but so many dudes do. It will be his mentality and so let’s see what happens in the French league.
-
And Draymond
-
I'm pretty high on the kid having not seen much footage. He looks like he moves really well. Of that shot is genuine he could be KD-like, but he also looks like he runs like Giannis - if he fills out he could be anything.
Playing against grown men will be a step up for sure, but wow, what physical gifts

Wiggins, Warriors agree to 4-year, $109M deal
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has agreed to a four-year, $109 million extension, his agents told ESPN.
Should have been an easy decision for Wiggins. After his Minny experience, I'm sure he must love being a contributor as their third option on a perennial championship contender who play a fun style
-
and the season is now basically upon us
As usual, the West will be a bloodbath. The Warriors already exist, and should be actually getting better. The Clippers are back. Denver get two important players back. The younger teams from last year's playoffs will go again. The Suns you would think drop away this year, too much to deal with.
In the East Boston will want to go a step further, The Bucks will be at the pointy end. How do the Sixers hold up all year? Can Brooklyn make it work?
All i know is the Spurs are a lottery team. Expect some hard tanks this year.

The Lakers look like they'll be as much of a clown show as last year. Amazing to think how hard and unnecessarily they blew up the bubble championship team.

@TeWaio and loving every moment of it
I was a big Michigan fan during the Glen Rice era and Rob Pelinka was a good role player and tenacious, but he has cooked the golden goose at the Lakers.

if (and it's a massive if) LBJ and Davis can play 60 games each they'll make the playoffs.

I agree. Pat Bev for all his fuckwitness is a good addition too. Can shoot, defend, and plays hard.
And he takes minutes off Russ....

If Schroeder can be solid, that will be good too. But in reality AD is made of glass

Yeah, a lot depends on old peaheart AD. He could be such a weapon, at his best he's top 3 in the league at both ends. But he's mentally weak and notnthebvpdybis a bit fragile too. Shit combo
-
@voodoo Darvin Ham wants to play him at the 5 and AD wants to be a 4. I'd say he's more chance of packing the sads than playing 60 games...
I do like the Pat Bev addition. He's an old school baller with a bit of toughness. But him, LBJ and Russ on the court together is not going to work!

He’s out for 3-4 weeks to start the season.

Yeah. I guess he shares minutes with Pat Bev when he gets fit

opening day sees last years finalists get Ws to open the year
Laker fans have written this team off after 48 minutes. Some cracking social media spite (if you need evidence LBJ can still hustle, watch a Lakers fast break). Box scores okay for their big 3, but apparently defense and effort at zero.
Interesting today. The Spurs are getting flogged at home by a Hornets team without LaMelo, operation super tank is off to a flier. The Pelicans are smoking the Nets. Thus far everything else seems to be going to script.
let the loooong narrative-ridden odyssey begin

The Suns v Mavs game almost had a playoff feel to it and it was opening night.
Enjoyed the Knicks and Grizzlies game. Knicks played a mix of excellent and very frustrating ball. But I think there is more upside if they have that right mix of shooters and slashers on the court.
And that Banchero dunk
