    I hope Stone didn't just draft Killian Hayes.

    Agreed since it got sold to a corporation in Chicago.

    Brooklyn, Chicago and Portland are leveraging. Randle loud all around.


    Minnesota may be the dark horse here to switch up their hell.

    Get the minced onions instead of normal onions to elevate it

    Not really. Two completely different games. Simmons isn’t as explosive and uses his size a lot in the paint and on post up. Gets a lot of buckets on curls with a big or on the elbows. Simmons also isn’t as creative attacking the paint either.

    His NFL picks should be separated from his NBA guys. He's definitely more wrong about NFL prospects but he was all about Bryce and everyone here wanted bryce

    Replace mustard with mayo also.

    For some reason that McDonald's quarter pounder hits different especially with the mayo and ketchup.

    Ben Simmons is Low IQ in creating his own shot. Dribbling Skills is Below Average.

    Yes he just needs a 15-18 ft mid range not necessarily a 3 pt game. Several successful guards in the league including Fox aren’t great 3 pt shooters but have mastered that 15–18 ft shot. Amen also needs to improve that floater as well.

    Johnathan Givony is the One I trust the Most.

    He predicted Ben Simmons Perfectly as a Prospect, Difficult to Coach and Doesn't Listen.

    Givony has High Praise on Amen Thompson.

    I like players who can pass, score and rebound unlike our last 2 year's top draft picks. More excited for Amen, going to have a lot of funny headlines for the upcoming season. Amen.

    Aaron Gordon. Wasn’t much a shooter in college and terrible FT shooter 42%. He Shot 27% from 3 rookie year & 26% in overall jump shots. Most of his shots were dunks or layups in the paint or restricted area 5 ft or less. He is now about a 34% 3 pt shooter and overall jump shooter. FT improved to .680 in NBA career. He worked shooting coaches throughout the years and it worked for him.

    Prayed for Victor. Got an Amen. And as always the case, we left Whitmore.
