If we lose Monk, this fanbase is gonna be rabid for him. I never thought I’d see an NBA player on the Kings that loved getting heated more than Monk. And this dude does it on defense

More likeable than draymond?

Pretty crazy you would have him over Miles Bridges.

NBA needs to come down hard on clown ass fools like Draymond and hype the new gen of players who play hard , good basketball - and are decent people.

How about Bona?

Excuse me? Lebron James still exists!

Blah. Oooh, gOd, so greaaat.

I know, it’s just annoyingly redundant and I’m not feeling particularly clever.

I REALLY wish Starting 5 would have focused on up and coming or mid-level guys.

That’s exactly what Drive to Survive did, the immensely successful one that started all of these sports docudrama type shows (not to mention exploding F1 in popularity). And it was brilliant for it – we got storylines that were much harder to follow because they weren’t the top 4 teams/drivers.

But they decided nah, we’ll just go with the stars and make it relatively pedestrian, boring, and not even bother with trying to capture the spectacle of the NBA. Such a disappointing show for so many reasons.

I can’t wait until Seattle get their team back

His Auburn front court mate Johni Broome was a monster counting stats wise in college. Broome just dropped 40+ in a g league game but he lacks in the role player winning areas Cardwell excels at like you mentioned.

Kinda similar to how Luka Garza and Drew Timme were monsters in college but didnt have the skillsets for the modern NBA. Funnily though, both those guys have actually broken into NBA rotations finally just this season. I actually think Garza can be like a regular rotation 7th or 8th man type while Timme is probably more 10th 11th 12th man.

Carlos Boozer’s son Cameron, freshman forward at Duke, who is the likely 3rd overall pick in this year’s draft, also kind of fits the mold of player as Garza/Timme. However, he definitely has way more potential then any of the aforementioned players, definitely will be a starter level player in the league if not all star. Absolutely dominating college right now as a freshman who’s younger then most other freshmen. His twin brother Cayden also projects to be a solid NBA player, I’m thinking Tyus/Tre Jones/Monte Morris/Cory Joseph back up PG type.

I’m not trying to be edgy reddit atheist here, but I always thought the concept of God in sports is so funny.

Like, if your team has God on your side, that’s some bullshit. Y’all are cheating.

All the talent in the world don’t mean shit without an opportunity and he doesn’t control that

Yeah, disappointed by that a little. But dudes fighting their way out of the G-league often have this mentality. God blessed them with the opportunity, even if they busted their ass for it.

He probably thinks otherwise but he just keeps it to himself, which is just fine.

God or luck or through the help of others, it’s called humility.

Either that or add two expansion teams. A lot of guys like him should be in the league currently

They should have foreign farm teams like an NBA Europe or Asia Super League. NBA really is lacking in player development and they could learn a lot from club professional soccer.

Grizzlies will still somehow only have 6 healthy players by december

Hali did

No, he’s still an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic
