    nice! and when I put forward strong proofs that tanking doesnt work and that non lottery guys are equally talented, we get rebuttals like but so and so % of loterry picks are hofers or got whatever accolades....

    its mostly because of the bias that lottery guys are better so they get more opportunities, second chances and more accolades and not because they are more talented indeed...

    and develop!
    you cant tell me with a straight face this dude would be hitting all these shots if john lucas were his shooting coach...

    i am told warriors just got lucky(really?) drafting dynasty at
    picks no 7, 11 and 35

    and now they draft another splash brother at 28?!

    top picks where you at?

    meanwhile rockets hold to john lucas who never really taught anyone to shoot, especially not in the last decade, just because he overcome addiction 40 years ago and have surrendered all their youth to clueless silas just because its fair to give him another chance...

    my god this is business not a charity organization!

    GSW is a great system with a good culture, good hc, and no nonsense teammated like Steph and Dray.

    Just look at what they did for Wiggins and Kuminga. Poole is also a good player, but playing with Steph makes him look like a star.

    It's a mix of both. Look guys picked ahead of Steph it includes players like Johnny Flynn you think Flynn will be a splash brother if he was in GSW instead of Steph?

    How come Spurs crumbled as soon as Duncan retired? Spurs were the winningest team in all of professional sports in their heyday and everybody called Pops the goat coach and the Spurs were unanimously crowned the org with the best culture. As soon as TD steps down all their problems with Kawhi started.

    Imagine had they drafted Melo Ball instead of Wiseman. Smh…don’t even want to think about it.

    Lamelo is apparently a problemo in the locker room. I doubt it is anything serious, but there are rumblings out there.

    He's always given off selfish, immature, and arrogant vibes. I don't know if he'll ever grow out of that. He's been so entitled most of his life.

    Who's going to check him on a team like the Hornets though? Maybe a strong veteran group headed by Draymond Green could've beat some sense into his head. Maybe not.

    Can you imagine if they drafted LaMelo Ball over James Wiseman? Teams overthink this stuff too much.

    well of course, Poole was a top pick and Curry was only a 7th overall pick...

    you should learn statistics and analytic buddy...it will make your life a lot easier...

    Same scouting team that hits with Poole at 28 strikes out with Wiseman at 2. Shows that drafting is a very inexact science.

    Warriors got lucky, though. If they had drafted Ball, I don't see how Poole develops as he did.

    last time i checked, 7th pick is still in the lottery, but keep pushing your dumb anti tank stance @hakeem94
