NBA

What do you think is more difficult for a college athlete?

To be a CFB player making the jump to the NFL and adjusting?

Or being a college basketball player and making the jump to the NBA and adjusting?

My friends and I need to settle a debate. They say the skill gap between college basketball to the NBA is much wider than the skill gap between CFB and NFL

Little loss tonight, main lineup did not cash but secondary lineup did end up getting into the cash. had mo wagner in both lineups so wasn't anything great lol. Finally getting back to normal slates. just keep in mind, teams hunting for seeding are going to start playing there main guys more and teams not in it are going to start trolling. Hope you all had a great night tonight.

If discord is something you are interested in, Will have a link below where i have in-depth content going over each slate, player pools for cash/gpps. cores and much more.

Edit: PP -

Edit: kuz and holmes out - deni/poole solid. i love kispert in gpps. we'll see what they do with lineup but baldwin looks v good. butler solid

Edit: RJ is OUT - need to see lineup they go with. olynyk and trent are solid but not stand outs. i do like dick.... JFL is a good value. As gross as it its temple is solid. nwora good contrarian value with a ceiling. kobi simmons large field dart. bruce meh if off bench

Edit: Vassell is OUT - you are def going to need spurs today. some of the best plays on the slate. i absolutely love wemby, love cedi, love branham, julian very good, tre jones very good, these are my favorites. you probably see sandro/graham/wesley/collins round out the rotation

Edit: maxey is OUT - payne is starting. i love cameron payne, love oubre, tobais is great, hield fair value, lowry very solid

Hear me out, does he actually have a chance to get on a team you think? He's 6'9 275 with touch and good footwork. Good personality but is already 23 years old. Do you think any team takes a chance on him due to his tournament success?

EDIT: Kenny Lofton is an easy comp I know, Kenny is currently 6'7 275 lbs averaging 23 and 10 in G league

Does he project more as a 1 or a 2?

Cause if he can be 1 guard that can start next to a primary creator, that kinda changes things

Every year, Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux perform an exercise trying to find the best "young cores" in the league. This is their criteria:

1. The player counts if they are 25 or younger

2. Players without team control are discounted (i.e. GTJ is <= 25, but is an UFA this offseason).

3. They don't care about draft picks. i.e. the Spurs have a ton of future draft picks, but that doesn't factor into this ranking -- since this ranking is about the players already on the team.

The general idea of the above is to answer the question "given this core of players, how do we think they will grow together over the next 5 years".

The full list is below:

1. Thunder

2. Grizzlies

3. Magic

4. Spurs

5. Rockets

6. Cavaliers

7. Mavericks

8. Wolves

9. Pacers

10. Pelicans

11. Celtics (only because Tatum is 25)

12. Raptors

13. Hornets

14. Hawks

15. Pistons

16. Trailblazers

17. Jazz

18. 76ers

19. Warriors

20. Heat

21. Kings

22. Nets

23. Bulls

24. Lakers

25. Nuggets

26. Wizards

27. Knicks

28. Bucks

29. Clippers

30. Suns

Not bad for year-1 of a rebuild imo. If they draft and develop well this year, we should hopefully see them climb into the top 8 next year.

If you're curious to hear them justify their choices, you can listen here: . I don't agree with everything they say, but it's interesting to see how folks outside of Raptors' discourse see the team.

I met this guy on a bar and started chatting with him (im from Brazil, hard to find any English speakers here), cool dude and wasn't enjoying the place, so I called him to an electronic party that I was going and he accepted, in the uber I asked more about him and he said he was a retired basketball player and then showed the ring, these tattoos are all the numbers he played for. he said he had a very short nba career, he got a 10 day contract from Houston in 95 (that's why the ring), im searching more but I can't find more information about it. he said he played in Europe too, does anyone know him? from what got, he lives in LA, about 6'7 / 6'8 and was a guard

After NBACentel fabricted a rumor regarding Kevin Durant’s relationship status, many were quick to believe it as truth.

KD responds to one user saying: I won’t call yall that one word, ima just say a lot of yall who believe nba centel is real just lack the mental capacity
