a week bummer
I remember a lot of HH’s GLeague reports at how he’d get benched late in games because his defense was bad. Hopefully that was because he wasn’t as motivated because it’s the GLeague, but then again thinking he struggled to be motivated even if it’s just the GLeague isn’t good either.It's hard to get a good feel for his defense because we are getting completely wiped every game....but physically he looks good on the perimeter and I think he's been better in the NBA than he was in the G-League at getting loose balls/making hustle plays.
You mean @homeytennis … HH does not watch g league.I remember a lot of HH’s GLeague reports at how he’d get benched late in games because his defense was bad.

Also I told y’all he was gonna be good and yall needed to be patient. Not that Bilal sucks but the amount of hand wringing that we didn’t get this guy or that guy was so dumb. Let’s all remember to be just a little more patient next year TIA.

It wasn’t even about that. It’s preseason everyone declaring Taylor a bust and slobbering over ever dumb thing Bilal or any other prospect did.OK but that confidence that Bilal wasn’t even an option for us at 9…..was actually 100% right. It was an impossibility to get Bilal at 9. You and Eliza were on top of that one![]()
We haven’t gotten a Bilal update lately. How is the French Scottie Pippen/Penny Hardaway phenom doing?OK but that confidence that Bilal wasn’t even an option for us at 9…..was actually 100% right. It was an impossibility to get Bilal at 9. You and Eliza were on top of that one![]()

Slobber over whoever you want but they would simultaneously cream themselves over a Bilal while saying “I can’t believe in this amazing draft with all these great players we got stuck with this bum”. I mean Dick was shooting like 12% and people were like “yeah but he looks the part”. It was a bit much.Preseason seems early, but some would say there was a ton of slobbering over Taylor before the draft even started. Even now when things are looking better for TH, some of the pre draft analysis on him is still crazy to me. For example, I could not believe people were comparing him to JJJ and specifically the thing that JJJ was the best in the entire league at.
People are going to slobber over the guys they wanted. It is what it is. People wanted Bilal, and some responded to that notion saying that he can’t even be considered an option at #9. If someone can feel that strongly about a player before the draft, it seems to follow that people can also feel strongly about players during the preseason.

And yes Taylor is not JJJ but McDaniels seems pretty reachable. I joke about Bilal Pippen but I think he’s a good prospect. Outside of his first couple summer league games he’s showed great promise. Just felt like people decided he was a bust right away while simultaneously declaring other dudes Him even when actual production was meh.
Ya, sorryYou mean @homeytennis … HH does not watch g league.
Hope he keeps it up and doesn’t turn into AK47 after he got paid.I can’t claim to watch as much as Homey….but there were some seriously odd plays that made me question some things. Loose balls would float right past his face and he was either too slow to react/uninterested in going for them. I’m pleasantly surprised the opposite is true in the NBA. What I saw in the Gleague had me concerned about his effort level, but I’d say that’s been a huge plus in the actual league.
