    I am grateful he carries the team for once but that should be automatic because he was the 2nd Overall Pick.

    It is more that Sengün sucks right now, these threads are popping up....

    I hope Gün finds himself and the team is better for it.

    I do not want to see Dillon Brooks shooting fadeaways ever again.

    @Mathloom has been right the whole way. Buddy is writing prophetic Quatrains as far as Im concerned.

    Alpe last year, he is a draft classmate.

    And 5 months younger.

    OK, well in that case the next chapter after a nova is a neutron star or a black hole, which can have negative connotations

    Cade, but he plays for one of the worst franchises in the NBA.

    Rockets may end up with the two best players from that draft.

    Let's roll with a magnetar so there are positive and negative connotations.

    (When I was not inventing the cell phone, I was kicking bad guys in the face... and learning about magnetars.)

    Is it his Afro hair preventing you from giving him credit rather than it just being a slight to Sengun? Asking for a friend...

    It's not Cade's fault the Pistons are trash. The guy has always been a fearless warrior. We are just now seeing that from Jalen and I hope it continues.

    his path to stardom was always relatively simple. just shoot over 35% from 3pt. that is going to pressure everyone to play him tight where he will use his devastating speed to blow-by to the basket.

    look for his assist numbers to start to rise as teams will try to stop him from shooting the 3. previously the game plan was to let Green chuck from deep... so that may not viable anymore if he keeps up the new and improved form.

    exciting stuff!

    Yep but they could end up with Bailey, Harper or Nolan Traore.

    Jalen (when he's on) is significantly harder to defend than Cade is. Cade is point-forward Zach Lavine/Bradley Beal. He's a turnover machine right now and it's costing them games. Won't see that on the stat sheets because people look at the W/Ls then at Cade's averages and stop there.
