[Angstadt] Star players 6 games into their age 18 rookie seasons

Keep playing him at point guard for like half the games IMO.
KG?
Shooting 100% from the FT line is a great indicator of shooting upside. He is playing a completely new position and having to adjust to the speed of the NBA simultaneously, while other rookies get to play their true position right away.
Other rookies only have to get used to the speed, he has another layer of learning curve on top of that. This is why he is other-thinking whether to shoot or pass the ball.
Once he figures out where and when to pick his spots to score at, he will get into a rhythm and shoot the ball better.
Cooper is doing fine, he is a rookie so it’s a work in progress. Luka is doing awesome!
Minutes played? Would be cool to see as well.
This really shows what a freak force lebron was.
If by year 3 hes not blocking and doing windmill dunks on wemby then maybe he won’t be a goat, but I’d imagine he will be fine in a few years with more strength and hopefully a real pg
It says something about coop and Nico that even though his splits are horrible no one is concerned. Whenever he gets to play next to a real PG he is going to be fantastic, right now Nico is tossing him to the wolves
Trust the process.
Respectfully. No one is beating OKC or the Spurs for awhile. NOONE.
Let Flagg develop. We will need peak Flagg for when that time comes. And it will.
Luka won’t sniff post season success with those two teams healthy. They are both to good defensively, too big, deep. That is the reality!
E ain’t LeBron I guess 😔 /s
this is a great example of pointless info
PD: Cooper is totally fine its just 6 games
Mavs got white LeBron? 🤯
Kobe and tracy were not starters for their respective teams, pretty sure giannis wasnt either. Doesnt make sense to include them here for comparison
