Braves really need to pursue Dylan Cease, from Georgia and WhiteSox would trade him if AA would let go of the prospects...

Tyler Glasnow is on the trading block also...

4 years old(?)

Their PPA have been equal. The referenced stats are because MJ attempted 15% more shots/game...volume. MJ also began his NBA career after 3 years of college vs right out of HS for LBJ. That helps ofc.

On the balance, since he took fewer shots, LBJ, during the same # of years, had 2,500 more assists. 33% more than MJ.

The argument is nose to nose and while the global competitiveness factor could very well make it black and white in favor of LBJ...I still give it to MJ due to his peak years. Career-wise, LBJ probably takes it, but MJ is the GOAT. I can't knock his abilities for retiring prematurely. Though I'll give LBJ the nod as old men 😅 Old LBJ is better than old MJ for sure.

I do think when Knecht, Vescovi, and Zeigler figure out a rythym this team will be unstoppable. What knecht adds is transcendent. Just look at what he did at UNC down a million...

If we can get back to elite, elite Barnes D, this could be the best team we've seen.

Not sure we'll get there, but if we can...

Vescovi returned to form and Mashak did the dirty work in the second half.

This team has so much more upside for when tourney time rolls around. Need Awaka to get in sync and the scoring droughts to be shorter.

Solid W over a good team.

This team is such a unicorn when looking at Barnes history. Not saying we don't play good defense, but offense was more or less secondary with him. He goes out and grabs 2 offensive weapons in the portal and we're fun to watch. Where did that come from? He's also going deep on his bench and not wearing these guys down before the holidays. We've already got 3 losses early so we're obviously not playing our best ball in November. Kinda makes me have crazy thoughts about March. Yeah, I know....

it’s not a bad question….. a better question…. is he the type of recruited that can get us to the top and keep us there?

It's an unknown and hypothetical for all but 2 or 3 HCs.

We've been to the top...with a ~top 20 talent team.

Keep pulling in top quality classes, averages of 91+, then we'll see. Still a couple years from that as a full team and yet Heuepel's already taken us to the top, so I have no doubt of doing it again and again once the talent hits the roster and matures.

Not getting BOTH Smith-Shawver and Waldrep…or Waldrep whatsoever. That’s the apparent price. Don’t care how awesome his mustache would pair with Strider’s.
