Funny how you put "learn" and "HS" in the same sentence. Good joke, Indy!Indy wrote:That is interesting. I thought it was a common thing you learn in HS. But I asked my wife and she didn't know it either. I like the analogy, but, like cap, not sure it really fits.Superbone wrote:I had to look up Krebs cycle. I had never heard of it.
Yeah, can we have 4 picks in the 2015 draft, please?Shabazz wrote:Great find, thanks.
I really like Myles Turner. The 2015 draft was really something.
Yup , I am constantly checking this site - more often than not there are some good articles/storiesCap wrote:I'm Home, by Jared Dudley

Phoenix Suns head coach Earl Watson and his family are hoping to land justice Thursday to help them begin healing after suffering two years of heartache over his brother’s murder.
Jenkins seemingly fits Watson’s style of play and there’s no question that he provides value when on the court. Last year, he led Phoenix in three-point percentage (40.6 percent) and elbow shooting percentage (50 percent). This skill set is a perfect fit for today’s NBA with the way shooting and spacing are valued, especially on a team like the Suns that likes to shoot from long distance – ranking 10th in the NBA in made threes per game last season.
Jenkins is also efficient, ranking second on the Suns in True Shooting Percentage (56.4) behind only Chandler, who obviously does his damage at the basket. Jenkins’ career True Shooting Percentage is an impressive 56.2 percent. He also ranked second on the Suns in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.13) last season, which likely helped earned Coach Watson’s trust down the stretch of the campaign.

Haha. You know what? Westphal was fired by the Kings. Add him to the staff instead of Corbin (no offense), for instance.LazarusLong wrote:Cotton couldn't have said it better ...Ring_Wanted wrote:You can never have too many shooters, right?
Good read. I've been a fan of Jenkie's game since we got him, but I wanted us to send him somewhere where he could play. Now I like him even more. Can we send Knight somewhere so we can play this guy, please?carey wrote:http://www.basketballinsiders.com/john- ... direction/
Nice little story about John Jenkins as mentor.

14. Phoenix Suns
Proj. record: 26-56
Last season: 23-59
The Suns walked away from the 2016 NBA draft with two of the top eight picks in power forwards Dragan Bender (fourth overall) and Marquese Chriss (eighth overall). Throw in the 13th overall pick from 2015 in Devin Booker and the Suns have a trio of players who will be no older than 20 by season's end. The youthful talent is intriguing, and our panel expects improvement from Phoenix, but it also knows that inexperience doesn't lead to wins in the NBA.
I guess they expect Bledsoe and Knight to miss most of the season again? If Vegas has the same odds, that's an easy bet on the over. My best guess is our win total will be in the 30s.Cap wrote:ESPN's take on the West: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/17131 ... -standings

In fairness, Bledsoe's injuries are the kind that may continue to be a problem.Superbone wrote:I guess they expect Bledsoe and Knight to miss most of the season again?

Yeah, but it's going to be the BASE we've never seen before.

As for AASE, who cares? He doesn't help that much. We had a better record without him.
