Is Zach Lowe Mentally Challenged?

#4 is about Utah's bench and how much they have improved, but it really makes me question if he actually watches the games when he has quotes like this....

"Bradley is a dangerous lob-catcher with a soft touch on floaters and half-hooks. He has rebounded a preposterous 19.3% of Utah misses while on the floor, the highest offensive rebounding rate among all rotation players -- and another benefit of playing with so many ball handlers who draw help around the rim. (Only five players have ever hit the 19% mark over a full season: Moses Malone, Dennis Rodman, Jeff Foster, Jayson Williams, and Danny Fortson.)

Bradley settled into his role on defense as a rim deterrent. He is not Rudy Gobert, but he improved his timing challenging shots."


Uhhhh, what? Bradley has improved, but he might be the least dangerous lob threat in the NBA and he does not deter any shots. How does someone as smart as Zach even say this?

I agree with you cy. He is a good rebounder and has good hands. That's about it.

To Lowe's credit, maybe he just meant he's good at catching passes, not the classic lob-threat we think about catching alley-oops.

Just such a weird thing to say about TB.

 

[Archie Moses]

Pretty sure it hasn't been cool to call someone mentally challenged in a derogatory way since the early 2000s.


The irony.

Why not?

He's good at throwing lobs to himself

Players really go at him though. I just cant wrap my head around him as a deterrent in any sense of the word.

Agreed kid has good hands and is on his way to being an elite rebounder, that is his one genuine NBA level talent right now. His D is still pretty **** but he seems to enjoy putting a body on people.

Who doesn't enjoy putting a body on people every now and then?

It's wishful thinking and overraction to the super small sample from last game in which he had couple of good defensive plays.

Your victims?

Tony can definitely catch the ball better than Rudy.
