Cy might honestly be super unlucky on top of his terrible takes. His track record being as bad as it is over and over is truly incredible. You’d think he’d hit on something or more stuff just based purely on odds. He said getting George at 16 would be the worst possible scenario on draft night.

The only way you walk out of SL thinking Bilal is bad is if you hated on him pre-draft and just want your bias confirmed.

The dude has shown elite level defensive playmaking with some of his blocks, he has flashed his ball handling and PNR ability, he has shown advanced passing, and even hit a game clinching step back jumper!

No **** he is raw.

Even if all of that is true (which it isn’t) if he can’t shoot it won’t matter at all which was one of my many concerns with him.

It’s the same exact line of thinking that Kentucky guards may be undervalued due to the system.

What?

Kentucky has a consistent thing going on: Their Head Coach who runs a system that is known to make players not stand out as much as well as players playing alongside many other talented NBA prospects (less the case recently), leading to lesser stats.

What is the consistent of the French League over the past 10 years? How many French League games have you watched? Can you tell us anything objective about the French league compared to other domestic leagues?

Please, if you have the BS take in your head that from some reason the French League is unique in it's ability to create a mirage of a NBA talent, then what is that quality? If you can't actually make a reasoned argument, then it's just xenophobe BS.

I know you’re mad and you’ve lost the argument when you resort to either calling people racist or xenophobic. You have truly become a trash *** poster. I am done talking to you.

Nice retort because you have nothing other than xenophobia and you dont actually know anything about European competition.

How can I lose something that doesnt exist? You dont have any argument because you dont actually talk about anything.

All you have is these handful of french prospects from the french league werent good, so that must mean future prospects from the french league also arent good. It's lazy and xenophobic.


I'm plenty wrong about plenty of prospects, but I'm not lazy and I will back things up with actual takes, not just lazy reactionary garbage.

I can’t believe we are declaring a player incredible after 3 SL games where he’s shot 37.5% from the field and 10% from 3. Just mind blowing stuff. The bias is unreal.

You cant sit here and honestly call yourself a serious person and throw out basic box scores when judging SL.

Yeah, a top-7 pick averaging 10/5/2 on 37/10/50 shooting splits is incredible.

Do you think this is his real shooting ability or do you think those 2 games might just be too small of a sample?

Also... what's your take on his game as a whole, small sample shooting splits aside? How's his defense? How does his athleticism and length project to the league? etc...

It’s been 3 games and considering he shot 1/14 off the dribble this year and 1/15 from mid range in general in his French league coupled with shooting 5/21 from 3 in the playoffs I’d say it’s a problem.

I really REALLY don't like limiting samples, especially when the sample we have is already too small. If I want to judge his ability to shoot I'd probably be including everything I can get my hands on. And BTW, for the record I don't think he's a good shooter right now. He's a bit like... Dante coming into the league... maybe even more questionable shooter. And while shooting is indeed very important in the modern day NBA, there are other ways for prospects to make themselves useful early. That's why I added the additional questions to my response above ...
