Stars Season Opener Game Thread: 8PM Mountain Time

Just to be clear wasn't TH ill before the game, and tried to play anyway? Not sure you can judge anything he did in this one. The g league pace is nuts if you're feeling well, I can't imagine being sick and playing at that speed.
 
I think the most frustrating part about the Hendricks pick is it was the safest pick we could have made. 9th player on our board with the 9th pick. Why didn’t we move up and get someone we really wanted? Cost couldn’t have been that much.
Maybe we tried to move up and no one wanted to move down or the price was too high. Kid is 19years old and didn't play in summer league and he is sick in his first game. Lots of guys have struggled out of theI gate. Walker isn't even getting off the Bench in Indy. I guess he sucks and is a bust. I didn't think the Jazz were going to get a star at 9. The kid may never pan out but geez how about if we give him a year or two before we start thrashing him as a bust or complain about why we didn't move up.

No one knows what the cost was to move up or if anyone was willing to do so.
 
Wat too early for a re-draft, but it's fun anyway.

Out of all the guys in the late lottery only Lively, Wallace, and Dick are really doing anything in the NBA right now.

I guess we would probably take Keyonte since he was 10th on the Jazz's big board. If that's the case then we're talking about who we could have taken with 16. If that's the case then, I would go for Jaime.
Yeah, but it's a lot easier after the fact and we're able to see what they can do on the big stage. Fact is, it's a crap shoot and aside from Wemby, there wasn't a lead pipe cinch to be found. But people saying we should have traded up are missing the whole point that three bites at the apple are better than one. We'd really be hating life right now if we'd traded up for Black following through on the pre-draft hype and missed out on Hendricks George and Sensabaugh. Jarace ain't doing squat and Bilal is undersized and not going to squeeze past Washington anyways. The Thompson Twins and Miller weren't gonna be going anywhere. And nobody but Miami had the foresight to bet on Jaquez and that was at 19.
 
Crazy how if you dont participate in group think you get called a douche.

Again, would anyone draft Hendricks in a redraft based off what we have seen thus far?
Lol.
I noted how you gave a like to soberashotrods posts a couple down. That said things like "
It was pretty ugly, lol, but again the offense doesn't need to be more than catch and shoot corner 3s for now. Once he gets to about 50 3pt fga, and if he isn't starting to hit those, then I'll start worrying about his offense.

Mostly I just want to see him start to feel comfortable and get great at defense. It unfortunately looks like it is going to take some time."
and "I think I still would, but would agree it's getting harder to feel that way. I also try not to overreact to small sample sizes. He still looks big and long and fast and his shooting stroke looks nice. Most of this things you can't teach. A lot of the things he struggles with can be taught and also find with time."

Thats how you be critical without being a douche. Huge difference in how you criticize this one certain player and how others criticize him.
 
Cy has been consistent on Hendricks from the beginning. I wasn’t even as high on him as everyone on here but multiple people who’s opinions I respect convinced me otherwise. If you go back and look at some of my early analysis of Hendricks I wasn’t a fan and had him 13/14 on my big board. Hendricks was hyped by literally 99% of people on here. You got attacked for saying anything bad about him.

Cy is also right if we had to redraft based what we know at this very moment we don’t take him again at 9. We would try to trade up or take someone else.
Ya no one is saying cy has been or is wrong about hendricks. People just saying he is acting like a douche when it come to hendricks.
 
I wanted Whitmore originally and still want him but I think you are going seriously overboard with the Hendricks hate. You need to dial it down.

I notice there are zero "I can't wait for Hendricks to prove you wrong" posts directed at Cy. Strange, since people love to dunk on him for being wrong all the time. You guys should be so confident that Hendricks will turn out well and Cy will take the L.

He didn't want to pick they guy, and he's been very disappointing so far, albeit very early on. So yea, he's hyper critical. No one is arguing his against his actual basketball takes or saying why Hendricks will figure it out though. Just yelling at Cy for being mean.

Idk that seems kinda telling to me.

Exactly. Like i posted a bit back. No one is saying he wrong. Just saying maybe dont be such a douche when you are right. Like you say in your post. He is being mean and hyper critical and that is what is being called out. Looks like you are also on that same page.
