2017-2018 Official Season Discussion Thread

AG learned how to shoot. His percentages will fall a little bit but I wouldn't be surprised to see him shoot around 40% from 3 for the remainder of his career

And I'm usually pessimistic

Gordon needs to be given the opportunity to be our star. That’ll never happen when he plays in the same lineup as Fournier and Vucevic

Not having a go at you obviously but wishing him to have a slump at all don't make sense. But cool. Each to their own 

You're perceiving it incorrectly. It isn't "I want to see him suck." It's "I want to see him diversify how he gets points when the 3 ball isn't falling so he can be a more all around, consistent scorer."

Thanks. Eventually we will see how well he does with that. I expect him to still find a way to score 20 ppg even when his shot isn't falling. 

I would like to see it sooner rather than when we could potentially be fighting for a playoff spot. Get it out of his system and confidence that he can score however he wants.

Not sure if this was mentioned but after the 8 out of 10 games on the road, we come home to play the Thunder and the Warriors. That should be games 22 and 23, safe to say by then we'll know our teams grit

Kinda wishing we were players to get Julius Randle. Love his upside as a high energy scoring big off the bench

[Soul Bro 1,419]

Thoughts on Ball's early play? Anyone see his percentages?

Terrible to say the least. But he’s being asked to do a lot. He’s handling the pressure just fine too. He’s one cool cat.

I get it now mate. Nice one. :-)

Eh.  Not sure he fits with our minute situation unless we legitimately think he can be a full time center.  

If so, he'd be an interesting piece

Playing one of the most hardest positions in the game...He's got some learning/work to do.

Yeah, plus he'll be restricted this summer, along with EP and AG. That's a lot of money to consider.
