Probably what others are saying. When I put my win total plays together I’m looking for teams that have volatility so if I have an opinion on then I have a strong play. The Celtics are one of those teams who figure to have a narrow range as to where they will finish. I can’t do anything with teams like that. I am excited to put some effort into this again even though I seemingly always take it in the arse at the end one way or another.
I too hope Pritchard finished 4th in ROY, finishes 11th in MVP voting, makes a couple AS teams, wins 2 rings, and wins MVP of a finals series.
He started 140 games in the Pac-12, including plenty of time against NBA-level defenders. I’m not sure how much information an individual workout is going to add when it comes to the concerns about his quickness/athleticism.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's worked out and/or played pickup with some of the Blazers too. On draft night, Dame Lillard congratulated Pritchard on Twitter.
Let's hope the C's get more out of PP than the Red Sox did out of Eckstein.
There's a lot of exaggeration going on with this guy. He's not dribbling until his hands bleed every day either.
His work ethic was very strong, but his flashiness prevented commentators from calling his scrappy or lunch pail.
Every now and then you have an Oliver Miller or Mike Sweetney. That's more a love of food though.
Euros don’t count when we are evaluating racists tropes applied to white NBA players.
Thank you, there are five types of "white guys" in basketball:
I think Nick Caruso is transcending 1 and 2 these days.
Isiah Thomas certainly did. What was that quote, that Bird would be just another guy if he were black?
Given his post-playing career, I am almost willing to believe that this was not just sour grapes, but was in fact Isiah Thomas the talent evaluator scouting a player to the best of his abilities.
I think NH's own Matt Bonner could be a 2. 800 career 3-pointers at a 41% clip is nothing to sneeze at.
I think he’s a 1-2 hybrid. People in SA called him the “Red Rocket” due to his hair, which is pretty much an extension of his whiteness but he clearly was a very effective stretch 4 playing off TD. I’m actually quite impressed with Kliq’s groupings here. I think he got it pretty close.
Dennis Rodman is actually the man that spoke the words, and he didn’t say that Bird’d be a JAG (Bird used to torment Rodman, so the Worm’s hatred ran deep). The reporters ran to Thomas after, and he attempted to make a point about how reporters discussed white players in basketball and ended the long talk by echoing Rodman’s statement sarcastically. Unfortunately he was talking to a bunch of idiots.
Both Isiah Thomas and Bird have tried to correct the media record on these statements multiple times. Bird even said he agreed with Thomas.
If you are referring to Hayward's placement, I see I've somehow autocorrected his name to Haywood in my original post. Gordon is a 5; he's mainly seen first as a very good player and not as a token white guy limited to "white guy" skills like shooting.
Prichard grew up rough. Some of those houses in his hood have only two car garages
