carsen might be a better defender than jj tho anyway

eh maybe that is his actual height
Edwards checked in as the shortest player at the combine at 5 feet, 10 3/4 inches without shoes, or 6-foot even in shoes. No surprise, as Edwards himself said he'll need to work on his point guard skills, since his future likely lies there at the next level.
However, Edwards' wingspan (6-6 1/4) and standing reach (7-11) are both impressive, relative to his height.

its funny that they finally started measuring guys w/o shoes but they kept doing it with shoes too, great everyone knows how thick the soles of his shoes were now
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 February 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
they didnt tell us if the standing reach and wingspan numbers were with shoes!!
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 February 2021 18:20 (three years ago) link
it's so funny, it reads like everyone got measured wearing the same shoes
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 6 February 2021 18:41 (three years ago) link
they should measure them with a variety of footwear: sandals, boots etc

looking at that last game... if jaylen's out i think i'll take kemba scoring 24 on pull-up jumpers from the foul line pretty much every time. he can help grant williams on his threes later!

“We’ll go back and look at some of [Kemba’s] drives and how we can space the floor better,” Stevens said. “I think we all can do a better job for him. That’s what we all will focus on. That’s what I’ll focus on, because I know he’s going to focus on himself.”

his mind moves slow, he is not a baller, he never just makes the obvious kick out after an offensive rebound

yeah i was hoping playing for a good team would rejuvenate him but he's such a stiff these days. i think he belongs on the second unit at best.

can't remember the timeline, did danny already know hayward was gonzo when he signed tristan? if so, inexcusable

thompson is deeply lead footed for sure, would really have loved to see steven adams on this team.

last nights game felt like a vision of a possible celtics future, with the offense being run through tatum and brown (9 and 10 assists respectively) kemba playing a secondary role and shooters spaced around the perimeter, obvs it was way on the end of the spectrum as far as the jays playmaking rather than scoring but if they can do that playmaking when the defense forces them to they become pretty unstoppable, and kemba will get much better opportunities playing off the ball whether thats catch and shoots or attacking a defense already in rotation

feel like every three nights or so an nba team just says hey let's not guard the corner three tonight and that was toronto in that game.

lagoon analysis otm and i really hope to see it. they just need some, um, actual shooters. it was such an unfamiliar feeling seeing a game where semi went off that i looked back through his game logs. he had an 18 pter earlier this yr vs the wiz but before that had never once scored 15 pts in an nba game. his 3FG% bounced up to 38% last yr so if he can keep that up maybe there are more games like this in his future
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 12 February 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link
i think semi can be a guy who hits open 3s his stroke looks much better this year, theis shooting is looking good too after being totally weirdly shook last year, i mean theyve got shooters tatum kemba brown and pritchard are all guys who can hit all the types of 3s, and then pretty much the rest of them except for centers and green can hit an open look probably at least enough of the time

an absolutely knock down guy whos always running around off screens and whatnot would be good tho, im sure thats what they picture nesmith doing but hes not ready yet
