I remember the night he got drafted and SAS bashed the pick (he covered the Sixers at the time IIRC). Like, it was a second round pick used on a kid right out of HS, what was he expecting...

Good on Williams for defying the odds.

Took them long enough to realize long-shot high schoolers shouldn't get taken in the lotto.

Should have drafted Larry Hughes in the 2nd round and taken Paul Pierce at #9.

A crazy stat with Lou Williams. He's scored the most points off the bench of any player in NBA history. He's like 2,000 points ahead of Jamal Crawford(#2) and then Dell Curry is #3.

Free Zion.

A dead cat bounce for a couple of years...best they can do is 3rd round...maybe. If Miami gets Lillard forget it....
On paper Lillard to Miami should be uber team level, but there's a part of me who thinks unless Lillard concedes A LOT to Jimmy there's going to be friction that will mess them up.

Jimmy's always had a huge ego and just pulled his team into a finals. I really don't think his ego has gotten any smaller after this year and unless Dame comes in with a "Oh yea. I'm ROBIN." mentality day-in and day-out it's going to lead to clashes.
 
Smoke is kinda pointing towards Zion to Portland for #3.
I caught some of ESP's podcast with Neubeck, who I usually agree with. Neubeck thinks Sixers should trade Tobi for Zion. I have no interest in a guy that misses more time than Embiid. He'll never be healthy unless he loses at least 50 lb.

I think it’s important to realize we all have types. I see this shit and my eyes go all googly. This is why I’ve been Amen > Scoot all year without it being a knock on the latter in any way. Look at these quotes from people who are in no way sensationalists:

The Pitch: What if Gerald Green was also Tyrese Haliburton?

One of, if not the single best basketball athlete I have ever seen. Absolute god tier burst, body control and raw vertical explosiveness. Moves with a suddenness that only smaller guys like Morant, Ivey and Fox have in recent drafts.

Amen moves like if you put Percy Harvin & Thierry Henry into the machine from The Fly.

That second writer also described his movement as “like a hovercraft”. He’s 6’7” with a 7’+ wingspan ffs. He can’t shoot yet. I don’t care.
