Doncic did 8 in his rookie season and look what plaudits he received.

Doncic came with real madrid pedigree and was pegged to play nba years ago. With apologies to 36 fans , 36s not in the same universe . Gidey was probably the most unknown top 10 draft pick . Had to earn his stripes at okc . Nba is not a team orientated league and when your at a weak side , others like to stuff the box score stats .If some of his team mates could have converted on his elite passes his assists would be higher.

See bk post above on doncic

but his usage and minutes per game would be impinged if he had more talented shooters in backcourt

True but he is making every post a winner and goes to all star weekend with a lot more interest from the us public and non okc media

Just feel like 3 straight triple doubles as a teenager, only rookie to do this besides the Big O… Probably deserves a mention.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Time to start mentioning Jo Lual-Acuil’s name in relation to upcoming Boomers squads?

a couple west games, den buzzer beater vs golden state, lakers beating jazz in last few minutes with davis getting a leg injury knicks losing to an undermanned nets after being up by 28 points and derozan beating a wilt record made the news

Aussie media's over the top coverage of Giddey is needed at the moment if the NBA are going to give no love.

Remember when the w***ers were saying "weakness basketball" in the scouting reports

Did Josh shit on the NBA media department's lawn or something? Nothing on instagram, youtube or twitter during the streak. It was a bit odd earlier in the season when some of his passes wouldn't even make the assists of week/month videos they release, but this is just weird now.

If LaMelo had done this...

NBA media don't give a shit about OKC, other popular twitter accounts/journos are giving props like statsmuse.

He has a lot of fans in NBA media,

The mismatch pod have done a few segments praising him, Bill Simmons is a big fan as well.

The ‘mainstream’ ESPN talking heads barely watch games, they just rehash Lebron talking points. Not worth paying attention to.

 

[JT_the_Man]

No idea if these will be broadcast anywhere, but really interested to see Proctor.

Remember when the w***ers were saying "weakness basketball" in the scouting reports

scouts and draft scouting need a 101 from Sam Hinki and John Nash

there is a reason the Euros dissect a game like chess on parquet at the old Boston Garden

Mark Cuban Steve Kerr Sam Hinki can see the soft-spots in the parquet and do an arbitrage exploiting , Alistair Clarkson like Bill Belichick knew liquidity in transfer market is much more valuable than indidual discrete 'wins' in individual trades , rip the band-aid off and be prepared to 'overpay' on Burgoyne* or Wingard , the measure and metric is not the individual discrete trade but over a decade and in the long run

may be a positive , no one apart from lebron reads opponent scouting report , j-gid still has three years to creep up , hope SGA is put behind the wheel when he returns

Dyson Daniels moved upto 11 on the Athletic Mock Draft

11. Washington Wizards​

Dyson Daniels | 6-6 wing | 18 years old | G League Ignite​

Dyson Daniels has emerged as the top G League Ignite prospect for most evaluators. The numbers aren’t elite, but Daniels has a skill package that figures to translate really well toward playing as a useful rotational player early in his career. He processes the game really well and makes high-level passing reads. He’s completely unselfish, almost to a fault at times as the chaos in the G League around him unfolds. On top of that, he has a case as the best defensive guard in the draft class, a 6-foot-6 player who can guard one through three across the perimeter, get through screens with ease and fly around in rotation to blow up actions. He’s going to have to prove he can shoot to reach his ceiling, but Daniels has the high level of basketball IQ that has translated well in recent years in the NBA.

Finally a good game from Patty!

Proust you need to assess in long-tun , 10 years , second_team_All_NBA as floor , see for example: Ben S was mishandled...

Bill Simmons (who despite being bit of a flog, is a very influential person in NBA media circles, and has been on the Giddey bandwagon even before he stared his amazing Triple Dub streak, least if you a regular listener to his podcasts, which I am)

Honestly, I know he plays for a predictably bad team right now, but he should be 3rd favourite for ROTY odds after Mobley and Barnes.

Marcel Proust

edit: I mean he should be developed correctly and not target the superficial short-term goals , his absolute floor he should be targeting is second-team_All-NBA and first-time ballot HoF'er , his development may be more comprehensive by playing off-the-ball like first 50 games in 2021/2022 with SGA lead guard

Marcel Proust your opinion MP?

Marcel Proust your opinion MP?

You are likely correct. I didn't think his development would be bettered by playing off ball but I see your point.

Being the youngest guy in the game there is no rush.

Hopefully okc land a Victor Wembanyama / Chet Holmgren type to put around him after overlooking talls so far

In another 15 years, Giddey will be old enough for LeBron to recruit him.
