I haven't seen anyone call him a bust. I think he'll be a good player, but his lack of any mid-range game makes him more predictable. College defenses didn't really take advantage, but NBA defenses will. He'll need to find a way to counteract it. But if Ball's team plays a transition game, then is ...

Just had a look at Ball vs Fultz shooting %'s: Ball 2pt% = .731% (109 / 149) Ball 3pt% = .412% (80 / 194) Ball FG% = .551% (189 / 343) Ball TS% = .683% Fultz 2pt% = .502 ( 157 / 313) Fultz 3pt% = .413% (52 / 126) Fultz FG% = .476% (209 / 439) Fultz TS% = .558% - Ball 2pt% is spectacular because he's...

Chriss was better than bender from the get go. I would have liked to see bender get more minutes, but he didn't deserve them over chriss Idk, there were quite a few times where Bender was outplaying Chriss on both sides of the ball early in the season and it led to extended benching of Bender and m...

From a guy who still get boners thinking about SSOL, Carmelo is the last guy I want anywhere near my team. Star name is something NYK seems to crave, although they need to rebuild. My point is that with Melo still onboard, they can have both things, as although he's been one of the best players of ...

It's certainly an unorthodox release, and it looks like it would be slow. It's not slow though, he gets it out quick af. People look at it and think its slow but just watch his highlights, he gets that shot off with very little space. Part of that is because he is not a faker. He makes one quick de...

I wonder if it's even necessary - he's at .412% for 3's and .732% for 2's....even with .673% FT he's still got a TS% of a whopping .673%.

Jackson just said "I think the direction with our team is that he would be better off somewhere else". https://twitter.com/Mike_Vorkunov/status/852954591700410369 If I am Carmelo Anthony I tell them to pay my contract and I am gone. The Knicks have wasted so much money over the years and ...

Ball has no midrange, in-between game. It's 3s or layups and if he's being guarded by NBA athletes, those 3s might not drop as often. Really? If they guy can take step back threes, I think getting that same kind of shot a bit closer to the rim would be possible too. But even if he doesn't, that's b...

Sir, I respectfully disagree. He looked like a kid, with no strength trying to fit in to a team with no direction. He went out, defended, took open shots, made the right pass and showed a very solid bbiq. If his shot were falling all year, people would be slobbering all over this guy. Pretty much m...

I think Ball/Booker/Bender/Chriss is a good core, but I think it's missing one piece. Probably a defensive stud, cuz those 4 arent exactly goint to scare anyone defensively. Bender sucks bro - everything is pointing to him being a bust unless he can learn to hit the three (which he hasn't been able...

Bender has played a grand total of 36 minutes since the All-Star Game. So I don;t think any of us really know how good he's going to be. He certainly does have some impressive tools for being as big as he is. Largely agree but if you're a betting man and you're looking at those numbers you're not e...

You're right, bender looks bad statistically, but I'm withholding judgement. He's the youngest player in the league, he got very spotty minutes, and I don't think we played to his strengths. Bender profiles as a role player. He's not a primary ball handler like ulis and he's not going to give you f...

I didn't originate these stats by the way, ripped them off ASFN, and just to be clear this isn't proof he's gonna suck it's just a balance of probabilities for me; he's probably gonna suck unless he can improve his 3pt shooting, and the PER stats suggest he's swimming against a vast ocean of garbage...

The guy might pass the eye test, as I thought he does - he looks agile enough, is long, can shoot the three can pass etc etc but.... he's stiff as a board on offense and that's never going to change no matter how much time he's given. So he can really only be a 3 and D guy, as far as I can tell, and...

Lol, bro - this one's worth a wager if you care to, my good man?

*Everything being defined as statistics, as opposed to the eye test where he might not look like a bust yet, as I thought... but the stats are so heavily against him at this point you'd be crazy to ignore them.

I've paid scant attention to US politics over the years but the healthcare bill and now Gorsuch have me watching like car crash television - how in the actual fuck does that right wing sicko deserve that seat...

Lol, some things never die.

SS thanks for the clarity anyways as I hadn't quite absorbed that part (I thought it might have been a pro-suns version of events).

I guess that tilts things more in favour of McD, so yeah - go Ryan.
