  1. Offensive spacing would be brutal with both Sanders and Withey out there... Sanders doesn't have much of a mid-range game, does he? Not currently but he is working on developing one, they appeared to give the freedom to shoot from 10-12ish feet this year (though obviously freedom doesn't equal ability) but I take that as evidence they are working on his mid-range game. If Sanders could develop a jumper from FT-line extended he could be a monster. Also I agree on the spacing issue if he can't develop a mid-range game/they give up on it.
  2. I think Withey has one of the safest/most attainable floors in the draft though his ceiling is almost the lowest of top 20ish guys. I think he would be a solid option for the Bucks, pairing him with Sanders in the middle would give them a really good interior defense.
  3. Sporting a 10% walk rate (admittedly only 70 PA). Hopefully he's made an adjustment and trying to take more walks/be more selective and it's not just sss.
  4. Mike Trout/The Angels appear to be getting into a grove
  5. He can't run with a shooter and if he stays on the block, Bosh has a wide open look. Still better than overplaying LeBron and watching him lay it up on you, but that's the logic. Exactly. And Miami was not running a play to have LeBron drive. In fact, it's not sure if the ball was always intended to go to LeBron at all (they had a Allen/Bosh screen that would have spelled trouble for Hibbert if he had been in the game). It's just too bad that George overplayed so badly which gave LeBron that huge lane. The play before was the much more questionable one. To take Hibbert out and then to just let Miami switch Hill onto LeBron so easily was a bad set of moves. That was one of the worst switches of all time, especially knowing Hibbert wasn't in the lane. Norris [expletive] Cole set the screen, you're telling me George can't get through a Cole screen and he needs to switch with Hill on that? That's just laziness
  6. Is that some weird picture/tv distortion going on? Or else he appears to be even bigger than Vogelbach. WANT
  7. I often wonder about how great Shaq's career could have been if he was 6'9"
  8. Sooooo..... we have a game that starts in 30 minutes and no GT, just use this one?
  9. I know, the questions with him have to be relative to expectations. It's more realizing he might be settling into more of a good playe,r like you said, and being a 3ish WAR player for the next decade and not the 4-5+ WAR player that many have expectations for.
  10. At least if we are operating under negative variance the right pieces are operting well and could be traded for something at the deadline (Feldman, Wood, Dejesus)? That's all I got. But the long term pieces (specifically Castro) are opening up more questions than answers, imo.
  11. I know, right. Play off him there and force him to take a jumper or at least a floater from outside the lane. Also the Hibbert thing is only explained by Stern calling in a implementing a No Hibbert Rule the last 1 minute of games.
  12. Sergio, douche? Or biggest douche?
  13. Our rotation has been so awesome, too bad the bullpen, defense and most of the offense has been average-awful Seems weird to lump average and awful together like that. the bulpen has been awful, the defense has been average and the offense has been mostly awful
  14. Our rotation has been so awesome, too bad the bullpen, defense and most of the offense has been average-awful
  15. why wouldn't we pick him before that? I meant to type "one of their 3, late, first round picks." Typing too fast at work...
  16. I could see the Yankees using one of their late 3rd round picks on Manaea if it's not a bad injury
  17. Vogelsong broke his hand last night, out for some time. Do the Giants have any interesting prospects that they'd give up for Feldman/Wood?
  18. Patrick Corbin is kinda good
  19. What is the factor(s) that one of those sites takes into account/doesn't and/or weighs more or less that they are so different?
  20. The playoff scheduling has been complete [expletive]
  21. Profar called up with Kinsler going to the DL
