OT: Teh Philadelphia Severty Sixers: Let’s Do This For JS’s Goodest and Bestest Boy

Pelle vs. Noel in the post in hilarious. On both ends.

When Al knows where he's supposed to be on the floor he shoots an excellent %.

Just noticing the glass around the guys with the TVs area thingy. Was it like that last game?

 

[Jack Straw]

Too long since I had an excuse for this

Thybulle's ultimate ceiling is something you can certainly debate, but he not only makes difficult, flashy defensive plays, he has a tendency to make them in clumps. That's so big on a team that needs the easy baskets and has issues with giving up runs.

Thybulle's athleticism north-south is excellent. His draft tape didnt do him justice in that regard.

Body control, handle, finishing are all ahead of where I'd thought they'd be....and that college steals %.
Home run potential? Maybe. Sixers basketball and optimism are as starcrossed as lovers can get.
What I like is that he's productive on the boxscore and solid on the eyetest. Very rare for young wing defenders.

Crazy to think this team was willing to burn a top 10 pick on Mikal Bridges only to get Thybulle who's probably better today with a higher ceiling just a year later at 20.

I really didn't like his finishing at the rim for the latter part of this year, but I agree that he's been better so far since resuming.

What do you most want to see from him offensively besides the 3 continuing to fall? Maybe the ability to beat closeouts off the dribble?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Is Bol Bol going to get some run with the Nuggets or? I hear everyone freaking out about his play but haven't been paying nearly close enough attention.

Sco Ducks.

Behind the back dribbles in traffic, crossbody cradles on drives little subtle on ball stuff that I did not see at UW.
His physical tools at this level are a continual surprise. He's big and lengthy for a guard but fluid with it and gets off the floor quickly.
Guys he was compared to (Roberson, Thabo) at no point in their careers were doing what he's doing athletically.
Hopefully as he recognizes the level of athlete he is his floor game will open up more.

Looks like it. Theyve tried him w Jokic and it didnt look too pretty imo.
Its gonna come down to whether the Nugs like his top end talent (floor spacing, rim protection) vs Plumlee's experience and versatility since he can play the 4 a little bit.

But i love BB. The hype is a little premature but when youre 7'2" and can move like that with ball skills its gonna come.
Nugs are gonna pray he can improve his footwork so he can play w Jokic but I think he's a 5 exclusively.
Wanted Hawks to take him at 10.
The fact that Wolves, Celtics, and the Magic all passed on him when he filled a need and had the highest ceiling is a travesty

 

[Jack Straw]

Strange days...

 

[Magua]

Woof.

Bleh ball movement and penetration not helping shot difficulty either.

 

[Jack Straw]

Lot of good tans on the white guys.

I hit the hell out of the UNDER on this game after it moved up 9 Points today.

Now the bad news is that I locked into the Clippers before they lost 3 players. Can't win them all.

 

[Lotusflower]

Al was a better signing than Conley. Conley vs JRich is probably a wash.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lol, extended through Halftime.

 

[Embiid]

Hate the Lakers........and LeBron. I hope they get ousted from the playoffs...

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol, extended through Halftime.
