I question now how much he really knows about intl basketball after he called Greece a middle of the pack team in Eurobasket. I guess their win today over Croatia should put that to rest.

Fran fell off. He's getting worse, I've noticed it for a few years now, for instance he thought Giannis should've been stashed... I don't care how much experience he has or how educated he is - he puts his name next to some ****ty takes, on national TV.


He's kind of a hater too, loves to talk about what players can't do. At the same time, he gets hung up on some odd prospects (wasn't he vouching for Pat Connaughton in the 20's during the draft?) I know he was high on Willy Hernangomez.


Fran's got the lexicon and the verbiage mastered, plus he's really got immense knowledge off the top of his head. He can recall a ****load of dated draft information. I just don't care for how he applies it these days.


Caboclo wasn't 2 years away from being 2 years away. that's a pretty ****ed up aspersion to cast on someone, especially when it's gonna prove to be way off.
 
I'd trade two firsts + for Caboclo.

I'd pay a premium for Caboclo as well, that's a steep asking price though. However, the Jazz have no one like him(Most teams don't). He might actually be able to defend some SG's better than you'd expect..

He's certainly a better prospect than the SF's in this next draft not named Jaylen Brown or Brandon Ingram, both of whom are locks to be top-10 picks.
 
Oh so that's what Kirkland is doing now, I didn't watch him a whole lot on channel 5 but hadn't seen him in quite some time.
 
Listen to this at 1.5 times and you'll save some time!

Edited to add: Thanks for posting Dal!
