Aminu tried to dribble the ball up the court and wasn’t aware of his limitations. hard pass. and his BBIQ was the equivalent of a fucktard
I thought we may be able to recover a 1st if things went south. I don't think we can even recover two seconds right - even on reputation....
Neil traded the pick that Detroit (via Hou) used on Stewart for RoCo. We could use some of that unhinged aggression from Stewart than whatever this is that RoCo is giving the team.
How, exactly, has that bum kept his starting job? He's had maybe 4 decent games this season, and he's a shot a TOTAL of 3 free throws. What exactly is he providing the starting 5.
There was a time I thought he brought great things to the team. Now he just exists. Doesn’t really do anything even on defense as of late. I can go without the streaky ass players on this team. Either bring it or collect DNP’s
The two picks ended up being: #16 in 2020, which could have netted us: 16. Isaiah Stewart 17. Aleksej Pokusevski 19. Saddiq Bey 20. Precious Achiuwa 21. Tyrese Maxey 22.Zeke Nnaji 24. RJ Hampton 25. Immanuel Quickley 26. Payton Pritchard 30. Desmond Bane And #23 in 2021, at which were available: 23. Usman Garuba 25. Quentin Grimes 26. "Bones" Hyland 27. Cameron Thomas 32. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl 35. Herbert Jones 38. Ayo Dosunmu If you want to torture yourself, pick the best two player we could've got. It's got to be Saddiq Bey/Tyrese Maxey/Desmond Bane and Herb Jones, I reckon.
Most likely, Covington has experienced age-related collapse. Not every player experiences a nice, gradual decline through their mid-30s. Some players just fall off a cliff, sometimes earlier than you might expect. I don't think he suddenly stopped caring, especially since he's still being counted on for major minutes.
I don't buy it. Tim Duncan was a great defender right up to the end, when he was hobbling around on one leg. PJ Tucker is one of the oldest players in the league and still a great defender. It would be different if RoCo's defense was "athletic man-to-man" style, but it isn't - he's always been known as an average man-to-man, elite help defender. So my guess is that it's more to do with Chauncey using him wrong.
That would be great proof if every player were a clone of each other and they all experienced their declines identically at identical ages. That's not the case, though.
So you're saying RoCo has the NBA version of progeria? Otherwise, can you name anyone similar who dropped off a cliff at age 30?
