the last time carlisle coached a top half of the league defense was the 2016-2017 season
the last time he coached a top 12 defense was 2011-2012

I just feel like SGA has proven enough at this point and is playing well enough to annoint him as the winner here. and it truly pains me to point this out but I did vote for him a month ago as documented above
― truly humbled underdog (k3vin k.), Sunday, 31 December 2023 01:21 (five months ago) link
SGA in december: 32.6/5.5/6.7 with 3.3 steals and 0.8 blocks on .648 true shooting, despite having a weirdly bad 3 point shooting month (.256), just feels like he’s already arrived and planted his flag. hard to see now he ends up out of the top 5 of the MVP discussion at this point
― truly humbled underdog (k3vin k.), Sunday, 31 December 2023 01:29 (five months ago) link
he’s done enough in the last month to definitively say he’s the best of all these guys?
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 31 December 2023 01:48 (five months ago) link
sga was the easy vote just because hes already really good, and also cool, most or maybe all of the other guys will never be as good as he is now
― lag∞n, Sunday, 31 December 2023 06:12 (five months ago) link
i’m not gonna tell anyone who voted for shai that they’re wrong. but it’s worth keeping in mind that ant edwards is 3 years younger than shai and the gap between them right now is definitely real but i wouldn’t say it’s massive or anything
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 31 December 2023 06:30 (five months ago) link
I definitely wouldn’t fault anyone for choosing edwards either, but picking shai just feels like a bird in the hand situation to me. he’s doing it night in and night out, seems like he’s a playoff series win away from breaking into the luka/tatum tier
― truly humbled underdog (k3vin k.), Sunday, 31 December 2023 12:37 (five months ago) link
yeah its not hard to imagine ant maxxing out as better than shai, hes obvs got the stuff to do it just gotta put it all together
― lag∞n, Sunday, 31 December 2023 13:38 (five months ago) link
btw just started listening to the thinking basketball podcast best players under 25, they chose luka then ant 1-2 (shai doesn’t qualify), I recently watched the youtube for the channel for the first time and found the voices attached to the faces very upsetting, it seems like they should be reversed and someone should look into it

this video makes the observation that haliburton tends to avoid defenders rather than challenge them, which is an interesting approach, kinda seems like it wouldnt work cause the defense wouldnt be compromised enough but i guess when you see the court as well as him its ok

sadly for cade cunningham his career ended when a guy from the ringer wrote an article three weeks into the season about how he can't score at the rim. that being said, nice to see him finishing the month of february w/ a 22/5/7 line on 50/45/83 shooting. his TS% on the season is now up to 55% ... was 50% and 49% the last two years. FG% from 0-3 feet up to 61% on the season, up from 56% and 58% the last two seasons. while fighting god's toughest battle (being coached by monty williams) every single day...

not easy to get to where shai is now ant can def do it but were also just a few games removed from him taking a 2 down 3 with 3 seconds left, ants ceiling is prob higher but shai is proven, think we had this exact discussion upthread tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 16:34 (three months ago) link
tho tbf re shai is proven neither of them have really played in the playoffs which is interesting
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 16:36 (three months ago) link
shai basically putting up kd numbers and he plays d, tho one weird thing he hardly takes any threes, which i guess is kd like too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 16:45 (three months ago) link
Before shai turns 28 the 3ball will be solidly in his repertoire.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Wednesday, 13 March 2024 17:32 (three months ago) link
one would hope, his 3pt shot is pretty weird it starts really low i think he needs to tighten it up a bit to be able to get it off in more spots
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 18:12 (three months ago) link
couple years old but i think its about the same now

he looked like such a strong, controlled finisher last night. i can't say i watched too many bulls games this season and i know he's had a great year, but at least in this instance the hawks purported "defense" seemed to be a not insignificant factor
