We've got folks saying we need to go get an Edey as if that's a realistic goal. Besides the fact that people that size are so rare, teams almost always find a way to recruit them only to find out that they have a limited skill set and limited growth. I think we've done a good job so far of...

Considering that there's maybe 1000 people in the the entire world at his height, I don't feel that's realistic. Players 4" shorter than him are rare enough, and even those with better skills than Edey don't get his production.

You can look at his raw stats. He had one game with 4 TOs last year, two games with 3 TOs, more games with 0 TOs than any other number. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/4684682/jonas-aidoo

I read a draft projection recently pointing out that Knecht could be appealing for a team that was at risk of losing a starter to free agency, so they’re definitely reading him as a play-now choice. I don’t recall a player in recent memory who looked more like an NBA player playing against...

NBA, NHL, NFL all use Congressional exemptions to keep them from being classified as cartels, but the players also belong to a union that does collective bargaining, otherwise that wouldn't be enough. They also have agreements to split sport-related revenue (media contracts, ticket sales, etc)...

Even then they can’t have a salary cap without the players’ consent, so they would need the players organized into a union to do collective bargaining. Otherwise limiting their salaries would be collusion.

Isiah with his 30% shooting from distance wouldn’t last long in today’s NBA. Leaving him off the Dream Team roster was the right move, too. If nobody wants to play with you, you’re not really a good choice for point guard.

Here’s 9 minutes of his post ups from this year —scoring and assists. He doesn’t try to back his defender down a lot of the time and he doesn’t have to set up low in the post. He talked about his work at improving his post up numbers by abandoning parts of his game that weren’t productive...

If anyone gives us 1.3 points per post up (Porzingis's numbers from this year) we should be ecstatic.

One big difference is that pro contracts go to the end of the career, so you have players looking to extend their second contract to give them maximum value on year 5, when there's greater uncertainty about their performance. College athletes might look for longer contracts, though, given that...

We did. He might have been the only Indian in Division I.

What source are you using? Nbadraft.net lists his birthday as 4/20/04.

Baylor has Jeremy Sochan in the NBA, so they could point to that. Ultimately Igor will decide based on where he feels best.

I have no idea where I can buy that shirt.

He's just practicing his spin move.
