Bilal needs a real good development system which ISNT the Wizards. He will be available in about 2 to 3 years as a reclamation project. Like I said before he is half the time Einstein on some plays, and the other times he is having seizures when he has the ball.

He's looked really good defensively so far. Had like 3 blocks and 2 steals the other day. He just needs to develop his in-between game.

Chef's kiss footwork? That's a travel lmao. He takes 4 steps there. 100% a travel

Steph Curry and James Harden normally get away with that little shuffle-step on step-backs. I guess JHS thinks he can do it too.

How come this play is a travel.

and JHS isn't?

Because he grabs the ball and JHS let's it hang before grabbing it.

All greats blur the lines

Imagine how good all the players could be if they could jump backwards twice to get separation without dribbling

I haven’t even used that word or mentioned OTE. So I have no idea what you’re trying to do here.

You got me though! Good one man.

French leagues have produced busts for a long time. That reality is all that is being discussed. Some people think that might be some kind of indicator, and others are saying it’s xenophobia.

And to reiterate a point I already made, the issue is not that there is a high bust to hit rate in the last ten years, it’s that it’s practically 100% (depending on where you start the clock, you’ll get Gobert or Wemby).

That and on top of it... the history of these low production/low minute international prospects from any league is uhhhhh... no good. There is some Saric's and some Bogdanovic's but a lot of Bender's, Hezonja's, Ntilikina's, Dombouya's, etc.

The tools, workouts, etc. would have to be so overwhelming for me to take one of those guys top 10.

I wonder if Matthew Mayer has already signed a 2 way contract with the rockets. If not then we should jump on it.

Hezonja wouldn't qualify as low production.

So why did you feel the need to quote my post and say something completely different? Never mentioned xenophobia and if the issue is historical success, OTE is legitimately one of the most irrelevant leagues to this conversation because they don't have a history. Those are two things I never even mentioned so I don't know what to respond to lol. I guess you can take that up with someone else.

The post you quoted said that you should be able to distinguish different players between players from the same league. For example, you should be able to distinguish Wemby from Bilal. I think that's important because French League players were good, until they weren't. If you relied on the league they came from too much, well that might have been the thing that led you to overrating someone like Frank.

Hezonja wouldn't qualify as low production.

15 minutes a game and 6 points per game... call it whatever you want I guess. Really doesn't change the point.

Sarah Todd said on ESPN700 that the Jazz really like Luka and she expects him to be on the roster this season. Said he's worked really hard this offseason and even spent a week working out with Lauri before he went back to Finland.

Hezonja wouldn't qualify as low production.
