Could not believe how much people were talking up a player I would normally love. He has great role player written all over him but the future all star stuff was insane. Don’t know if Lacob was the one who started it or he was buying into the koolaide….but way too many people believed it.

Could not believe how much people were talking up a player I would normally love. He has great role player written all over him but the future all star stuff was insane. Don’t know if Lacob was the one who started it or he was buying into the koolaide….but way too many people believed it.
Lacob said it on a radio call with a local radio station.
What I meant was I don’t know if people started saying because Lacob did first (idiots if true) or Lacob just echoed what the fans were already saying. Like he was getting extremely overhyped from fans around these parts but I don’t think people were saying that because Lacob said so.
I mean, I'm sure you can find some fans who said it the moment he was drafted (the same way we have a poster who called Filipowski the next Jokic after SL), but Lacob is the one who pushed it.

Last night the Bulls beat the Raptors in OT with THT and Ochai with 15 points each. Here's a blurb about two Jazz alums:
- Bryce Cotton hasn’t been on an NBA roster since 2016, but the 32-year-old guard has caught the attention of teams in the NBA, EuroLeague, and Asia with his recent play in Australia’s National Basketball League, sources tell Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews.com. As a member of the Perth Wildcats, Cotton is averaging a league-leading 27.8 points per game on .507/.464/.855 shooting. He has scored at least 40 points in each of his past four outings, including an NBL-record 59 on November 30 vs. the New Zealand Breakers. According to Urbonas, Perth has offered Cotton an extension that would make him the highest-paid player in NBL history, but he could test his options in free agency in February or March after the current season ends.
- Former NBA swingman Miye Oni has signed with Badalona for the rest of the 2024/25 season, the Spanish team announced in a press release. Oni appeared in 80 NBA regular season games for Utah from 2019-22 and was in camp this fall with the Grizzlies before being waived at the end of the preseason.
Who is anyone supposed to want? I know you have an irrational hatred of Dejounte but he’s the only player with name ID that isn’t just a total ****ing bum (Zion, Ingram) or washed (CJ).
I'm surprised by how much AJJ is bothering SGA.
Jalen Williams might be my favorite non Jazz player. I love his all around game.
Crazy to think how good OKC is going to be once Chet comes back and him and Hartenstien build chemistry
Really stupid that hte NBA wants to push this Cup thing and you cant even watch it on LP. And people wonder why ratings suck.
