Haha so now you’re reading facial expressions on the pictures of a Deadspin article and attempting to judge what a player is thinking? Good lord, that’s ridiculous.
So Stauskus would be happier sitting on the bench getting 10 minutes a game for the fifth worst team in the league and playing for a lame duck coach who is notorious for benching young players? Got it.
Stauskas is better off playing for the Kings? Seriously? They have Rondo, Ben McLemore, Marco Bellinelli and Darren Collison. How exactly is he supposed to crack that rotation? He averaged 15.4 minutes per game in one start there last season. This year, he’s started 13 games and is averaging 26.7 minutes with the…
Also how exactly would going to the Knicks be better for Okafor? So he can stand around and watch Carmelo go one on one with defenders while also getting an up close lesson on how not to hustle on defense? When was the last time Carmelo Anthony made any player around him better?
Haha you’re seriously comparing the Sixers to the Kings? They have a lame duck coach who is fueding with their best player and an incompetent owner who thinks he can make basketball decisions. The Sixers ownership group doesn’t sit in the draft room like the hot mess Kings.
How can you say they don’t draft well? They got both Okafor and Noel who look very good. They could have two top four picks this year and Dario saric hasn’t even played yet. Yes, the Embiid pick is not good, but the other ones are. Robert Covington is developing, Noel is continuing to develop and even younger guys…
Well you can’t say for sure that he or any stud won’t sign with us either. You’re speaking in absolutes like you can tell the future of the Sixers here. It depends on the player. Monroe didn’t like the situation so he left. Durant endured two seasons of less than 25 wins in SEA/OKC and decided to stay. Okafor is a 19…
Yeah of course there are positive situations for rookies, but the best rookies aren’t likely to land there because the best players always go to the bad teams. What do you think is better for Okafor’s future? To play 30+ minutes a night right away or languish on a bench somewhere?
Here are the top 10 NBA players in terms of PER this season:
So you think these rookies would rather be stuck on the bench behind Jordan Clarkson and Kobe and have Byron Scott as their coach? Or maybe they’d rather play 15 minutes a game like Mario Hezonja? Unless you’re Tim Duncan, the top few draft picks almost always go to shitty teams and lose a lot. That’s hardly a…
I prefer to take them with a grain of Adobo.
