Even Holmgren is close to putting it together, if his mind is where the scouts say it is then he could be special, he already compares well to KD, in a lower usage situation. We can’t assume Isaac will ever play again. WC is a fine second post option. He’s the kind of depth winning teams need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted February 1, 2022 NBA rookie ratings talking about Franz https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-rookie-rankings-scottie-barnes-comes-up-clutch-cade-cunningham-builds-on-rookie-of-the-year-case/ Quote Over 44 percent of his shots come at the rim, and he's making them at a 58 percent rate, which admittedly should be higher for someone of his size Where can i find "At the Rim" percentage across the league to compare this quote? I think almost 60% is pretty good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won’t come as a surprise to anyone in this forum that I disagree with the assessment that the main problem with this team over the past 10 years is that we just haven’t been losing enough.

Overall yes, but when it comes to this specific season, it is apparent that losing and getting the best chance at a number one pick is imperative, in management’s belief and anyone sensible. Loosing has not always been our priority in many of those ten years, but maybe should have been in a few of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the very worst won-loss record of any NBA team during the past ten years. How much more of a priority could it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both statements can be true at the same time. The main problem with this team over the past 10 years has been management. That is no longer the case and can sense a we’re getting close.

Isaac will be back this year or next for around 23 fantastic games before he gets injured again and misses another 100 games. Somebody will downvote this, because in today's world the truth is not acceptable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
