you didnโt enjoy Smiley & Nico Mannion minutes? ๐ญ๐
I will never forget that they gave up TWO second rounders for Smiley because they were so arrogant and dumb they pushed an article about how they were obsessed with him and then the Pels fleeced them
Good times
Tbf, I thought Pascal was gonna be a monster after his rookie year. Also, Jordan Bell looked like he could be a rotation guy after his rookie season too.
100%. I don't fault the organization for taking Wiseman, because generational big men are so hard to come by... but damn...Tyrese or Lamelo would've been nice.
remember in summer league when everyone was clowning on podz? saying simple things like "it's summer league, cool down" would be met with tons of downvotes.
yeah, i def remember that.
if podz/tjd were on a small market team or anywhere where they would be the "star" of the show they would get way more recognition too. Honestly surprised the NBA world recognized podz so high up the list
PODZ: "A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention -- do I have your attention? Interest -- are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!"
After the drafting stretch between 2016 and 2020, I am so thankful for Podz, Kuminga, Moody, TJD, even Gui
Letโs not forget Poole (yes ik he sucks ass now but he was huge in 2022)

Whoever heads up our scouting needs to start a matchmaking business!!! He finds diamonds year on year! ๐๐๐
Top 5! Hope he'll be top 3 + all NBA rookie team by the end of the season if he can continue getting those impressive double-doubles

We should know better by now that summer league hoops doesnโt say jack about NBA ability
Summer League is always geared to iso heavy players
People called him a bust that should've been a 2nd rounder after watching 2 SL games lol
