    Pascal only wants to play in Toronto. Bridges would require a haul, if he were available at all.
    I don't know the story on OG, but seems like his price was probably ridiculous.

    Tim Duncan also had a season of 80+ games and 40+ minutes per game.
    82 games played at 40.6 mpg.

    I'm just going to be really surprised if Wemby is able to have a long career. I hope I'm wrong. He's insanely fun to watch because dudes that tall don't do the things that he does.

    Wemby will be as bulletproof as Stockton and Malone

    He'll have to develop that "knee in the defenders chest" that Malone used for years.

    Side note: Love how Scoot just picks players and puts them in random ass positions

    At one point he had 3 players out of position

    My favorite was Kuzma at the 2 lol

    I say this as the father of a 15 year old who just threw a PR of 91 at a tournament last weekend...wtf does the disaster that is travel baseball have to do with a French basketball player?

    The article isn't just about baseball. They use Tommy John surgery as an example.

    "Each year, we see younger and younger kids specializing in one sport, spending more than eight or nine months playing one sport, focusing on it year-round, five or six years in a row,” said Dr. Zachary Schepart, who specializes in pediatrics and sports medicine at RiverBend Medical Group.
    Indeed, a 2015 survey in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that 60{06cf2b9696b159f874511d23dbc893eb1ac83014175ed30550cfff22781411e5} of all Tommy John surgeries in the U.S. are for patients ages 15 to 19. “That’s amazing — or appalling,” Schepart said. “That’s a significant injury that results from repetitive use over time.”"

    Again, you are comparing a repetitive use sport like baseball with basketball. They are NOT comparable. You can play basketball every day if you're not injured. Even healthy pitchers can't throw every day. Go to MLBPitchSmart.com to educate yourself.

    You use different muscles in different sports. Baseball, football, basketball, etc. and the constant wear and tear that kids are putting on their bodies is taking a toll. Basketball is really hard on the knees, just like baseball is hard on the arm. Kids didn’t used to play full on competitive ball year round.

    Anyone want to give a synopsis? Too long and its bedtime (for this old guy at least).

    • Richman thinks Sharpe is likely to average over 20ppg, making him the 27th second year player since 2000 to do so
    • Richman thinks Grant will average 20ppg for the 2nd consecutive season, making him one of just five forwards to score over 20ppg in back to back seasons
    • Richman thinks Scoot will average over 8 assists per game, making him 5th rookie to do so since 2023
    • Richman thinks the best comp for Scoot is John Wall
