battle of the NBA’s next point gods

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

lol

hali last two games combined 43 points 43 assists 2 turnovers

fucking hell

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

point god shit

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

PBKR gotta be responsible for making the official ILH take maxey > ja

Completely sentimental one for Maxey because I love this hooper so much.

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

These shows are a complete waste of time lol

Malika Andrews: "Is Tyrese Maxey the best PG in the East?"

Brian Windhorst: "I think he could make a strong case…"

Kendrick Perkins: "…You know who I'm going with…Jalen Brunson!…proven in the big moments…"

Malika: "No one's taking Tyrese Haliburton?…"

Perk: "…excellent… pic.twitter.com/5RvJz4ElqB

brucie B ring night tonight

oops wrong thread

pacers are 14th in d rating, 4th in net rating, and 7-2 in the 9 games since carlisle said that "even dating a pretty girl gets boring after a while if she can't guard anyone"

carlisles war on pretty girls paying off bigtime

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...

good for cade hopefully he we get to play on a good team sooner than later

monty’s contract has to be up soon (checks the internet)

today is as good a day as ever to remember that ant edwards is 3 years younger than shai

so fuckin crazy

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

tho tbf re shai is proven neither of them have really played in the playoffs which is interesting

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

Before shai turns 28 the 3ball will be solidly in his repertoire.

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

couple years old but i think its about the same now

Need to add Coby White to this list I guess :)

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

I victory lapped one game too early

he does not belong in this convo
