Re:. Wood Seku Grant

I think Jerami got some of Wood's $

Also think Wood wanted to leave

Reminded - (had to look it up) - Pistons got Isiah Stewart - and also DeLon Wright - (flipping Ariza for him) in the Wood sign and trade.

Had to give up a future 1 but its heavily protected

(Stewart was the 16th pick, I think - dang they could have had IQ - heh)

I think C. Wood wanted to get a nice payday.
DET did salvage something by making it a signandtrade.
But Pistoffs wound up paying a bunch more for Jer Grant, who is an equivalent player.  Odd.

IQ might prove to be a better player than #7 pick Killer Hayes.

Pritchard looked outmatched in the NYK game.  Though a bad game for all of BOS.  Pritch kept looking around for someone to screen or something to do.  But with the ball or defending he didn't look good.  That's all I've seen of him so far.

I liked Wanamaker for BOS last year.  Thought it a real good GS pickup.  The guy is gritty and makes plays.  Speaking of gritty and making plays, check out Bruce Brown for BKY.  I think he forced a pair 4Q jump balls v. MIL (or maybe the one he just ripped away cleanly from a Buck, I forget).  Scrappy hustle stuff.

I hadn't really seen Paschall before.  A partial game or two I saw GSW last year he was quiet/okay when I tuned in.  But he really was beasting Lakes down low on the boards and at the rim.  One play he got the ball for a corner 3, attacked the close out and hit a layup among bodies.  8 points in the first 4:30 of the 4Q was most welcome for the GSW helping them hang in.  His energy and physicality isn't easy to handle.  Quality backup. 

Burly guy, listed as 6'6" 250.  Had a very solid rook year as a #41 pick, on an injury ravaged GSW team.  But I wasn't sure if it was just good numbers on a bad team.  This year his shooting %'s are up across the board in 20 mins per.  53% FG; 38% on 3's in limited attempts and 81% FT.  Looks like a solid, bullying bench player.  Had a string of 8 straight games in double figures (and now 9 of 10), which is impressive in just 20 mins a night.  GSW doesn't get that LAL W without Paschall's 19 in 19 minutes.

Nice that RJB is making his FT's.

DeAndre Hunter Watch: 50% / 40% / 86% shooting splits.
And plays good defense.  17 / 6 / 2 on the year.
Has been ATL's most consistent and probably best player so far this year.

Knix close to an average FT shooting team this year.
Though Mitch is down to 44%; Nawlins 56%, Elf 68%, Rivers 50%, Franc 33%.
Quickly has been excellent at 96%.  DFraws a lot of fouls, but mostly of the before the shot variety
Really only Randle and RJB get to the line. So there 76% shooting is largely the team's average (74%).

Early, yes - but Quickley standing out among FT% leaders

JJ Redick has not missed (22 of 22)

Karl Anthony Towns, Chris Paul and Immanuel Quickley have each missed just one free throw

Jalen Brunson and Jimmy Butler - 2 each

(minimum 20 made)

The ten WORST list has some big names

In order

Rudy Gobert
Steven Adams
Precious Achiuwa
Andre Drummond
Giannis Antetekompo
Marvin Bagley III
Aaaron Gordon
Ben Simmons
Zion Williamson
Russell Westbrook

(Russ at .657, Rudy .467)

Julius and RJ at 74 and 84 respectively among 117 qualifiers

[kidcarter8]

By the way, leaders listed must be on pace for 125 made - in a regular year.  Not sure if this will be shortened with the 72 game season

This is why Payton and others are not listed and there are only 117 qualifiers

[lesterluv]

Watching everybody show up at the inaug — masked, spaced, so easy, so simple — really puts into stark relief Trump's criminal failure. With minimal competency an easy 250,000 additional Americans would still be alive...  ..well, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER for leadership in a pandemic!


*** and gotta give a shout to Cuomo & de Blasio, despite their sniping & backbiting & faux pas, the message, leadership, and health resources for NYS and NYC folks has largely been on point, and saved a ton of lives here.

Sure

And not sure he saw himself being a huge part of what Pistons were doing.

DET also had a new GM.

I think they are positioned pretty well to make some more deals - while losing this year helps them get the pick we thought we might.  (Knicks now not looking good for a Cade Cunningham type)

THE most bizarre aspect of Ball's game, is the paucity of free throws. 

Last season he averaged 32.1 minutes a game over 63 games.  That's 2025 minutes. 

LB was 43-76 over the course of the entire season.  That's 1.2 FTA per game. 

By contrast, on the other end of the evolutionary spectrum, Damian Lillard in 2474 minutes, went to the FT line 518 times and drained 460.  That's 7.8 FTA per Game. 

By contrast, our own puppy, IQ, in 11 games, as taken 24 FTs and drained 23.  This season, in 10 games, LB is 7-12. 

LB has great size and court vision, and is a solid defender.  But 'ya think that teams might lay off of him and dare him to drain his threes, secure in the knoweldge that he will not play downhill and attack the rack? 

Somehow, I do not believe Lonzo will be a FA target for the Knicks. 

[kidcarter8]

Exquisite playmeaker that is not a guy looking to score while guarded - gets the ball to others.

And thus not so many free throws.

But the game is changing as well - and he is off the ball a lot.  Weird.  Not sure its best for NOP.  But is what it is.

As for Knicks interest - seems like he might be Charlotte bound - if he wants to be with Bro.  Surely Brentwood Mitch will put forth the effort to pair the duo.

[kidcarter8]

Ball also wont take that step to stardom unless he can stay healthier.

[facilitatorn]

Kupchek can works something out with Atlanta to put the whole Chino Hills squad back together. Lilo is available in some GLeague program, I think. The whole thing could be cheaper than signing Gordy and lead to just as many wins.

Still, if it put Rozier on the market cheap, I’m all for it.

[lesterluv]

Kyrie back.
Nets open game 10 for 10 from field.
Every bucket a highlight.
Need some work on defense, but....OOF

** then they miss next ten..lol
*** WE Got BurkS and maybe Frankie coming back tomorrow.....BRING THE SHOOTERS!
