The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

This list is bogus… I don’t see THT.

I see where you're confused. It's the top of the list, not the bottom.

It’s too bad we didn’t draft Hawkins at 9 and then Key. Hawkins is looking like the 2nd coming of Ray Allen. 1-3 of Key, Hawkins, and Lauri > the crap we have now.

Hawkins struggled at first, but has had a couple of good games now and obviously broke out in a big way tonight. I'm still a little down on him overall, since I'm not sure he does a lot of the other things that help you win, but to have a game like he did tonight is pretty incredible.

If you love basketball with defense, Minny-Boston was one of the best game i have seen in years. From both teams. Won't be surprised if Boston make it this year, they are impressive. Minny will be a top 4 at West but probably not good enough to be a contender this year.

Celtics have and amazing starting lineup, they just have next to no depth. If they are healthy I think they are the favorites to win.

Yes i agree. Bench is really light compare to Denver or even Minny.

he looks like himself again

He still looks like the post prime Rudy, the Wolves are just better around him and they don't try and overuse him like they did last year

Ea obviously better than Hendricks though. Bring back DL for drafting just give him a rule he can't draft centers

Also Julian Strawther. Can't believe we took Brice over him as well

Rudy +24 in the Boston win. He's back. 2-11 FT though.

That was a mistake.

You can say our guys haven't played yet, etc,etc but it was clear even before the draft that Strawther was a modern day wing that was going to have a successful NBA career.

Come on... you of all people should know we were trying to hit home runs not singles. You also were trying to sell some nonsense that Brice might end up being our best rookie. I didn't love the pick as I wanted Leonard Miller but it is so early and Brice was a ceiling play.

Yeah, I'm a glass half full guy mostly. Just frustrating that we are one of the worst teams in the NBA and we got 3 rookie first round picks. This should be a kind of fun season of being bad but instead we drafted two rookies who are so behind they can't play for a bad team.
