Multiple reports now have Rockets seriously interested in a backcourt of Green and Ivey. Absolute win win with either Jaden or Paolo, but happy to see Ivey being seriously considered. Heard that Green really likes Ivey and when asked a month ago on who he’d like to see join the team, he listed Ivey first and didn’t mention Paolo. Going to get very interesting very soon!!!
My prediction- there is going to be some sort of a surprise at the top of this draft (some team trades up that we weren't expecting, one of the top teams takes a player that we haven't really talked about, etc). I might be wrong, of course, but that's my gut feeling. Let me know if I should go make a new thread for this. I don't think we have enough yet for this draft
Leftover pizza. Still taste Ok and satisfies hunger. But it's not a Jabari/Chet gormet meal. Nothing we can do unless Stone cook up something unexpected.
Ivey and Banchero are the only two players this season with over 600 points...175 rebounds....100 assists...30 steals...20 blocks -- sorry can't post article per CF's request -- Some are infatuated with a "Big" getting Assists; where I'm happy with a combo guard getting rebounds and blocks. Works well with possible 3-guard lineups of: Ivey-Green-Porter or J Christopher-Mathews-Porter or J Christopher- Green- Porter or Ivey-Mathews-Porter or Ivey-J Christopher-Porter Tandems of: Ivey-Green or Porter- J Christopher or J Christopher-Green or Ivey- J Christopher or Ivey- Mathews Green-Mathews Porter-Mathews ---------------------- Also liked the part (in article) where Ivey played his best against ranked opponents averaging 19.1 pts...5.1 rebs...4.4 Ast in those 9 games.
nothing new here. I'd be happy with either. both have concerns defensively. I like the jalen/paolo 2-man game potential, but I also like jalen/ivey being a matchup nightmare.
While we're at it, how about we take the only guy with at least 800 points, 300 rebounds, 50 assists, 40 steals, and 60 blocks?
I've been binging highlights on all 3 players and Jabari seriously looks a cut above both Chet and Paolo. Paolo will be a solid player though in the league, likely a future all star.
