Ferguson ain't a shooter

"On offense, Ferguson is very raw. He will likely not be able to contribute right away for any team in a large role, even the Brooklyn Nets. Ferguson can score, but at an NBA level, Ferguson will have to spend time developing these skills in the G-League. However, if there is anything positive about Ferguson’s offensive game right now is his catch and shoot ability.

Ferguson may lack consistency, but he can still catch and shoot fairly well. For the 36ers, Ferguson lacked a great playmaker who could set him up with catch and shoot opportunities. In the few instances that he was given catch and shoots, he converted them, shooting 38.7 percent on catch and shoot 3’s according to DraftExpress."

The Lakers are still willing to trade down for the Kings' two picks and use one of those to trade for George. It's not 100% that they'll stay and take Ball, but they probably will

MADe a couple changes with the recent trades and did a better job proofreading. Will probably make a couple more changes tonight (Ntilikina is moving up and Jackson is moving down for example. I'm working on a big board right now.

If I was the Lakers, I'd either screw the Celtics and take Jackson (who they obviously want) or screw the Kings and take DeAaron Fox (who they obviously want).

They only want Fox because Ball would be gone by 5. They'd s*** a brick if Ball lasted to 5

Spurs looking to trade Aldridge for a top 10 pick.

They've played moneyball better than anyone, but signing him to a max seemed crazy to me. What's weird is by today's standard, his $21M contract is modest for a "star" and they are still trying to move him.

They already have $30M in cap space, too, with another $15M coming off next year when Parker is done.

The spurs are trying to move him bc he is opting out after this season.

Not sure I buy that. Who is going to pay more than $22M for a 32 YO who is averaging 17 and 7 and is on the decline? I don't think anybody is. It's almost a certainty he won't find a better situation, either.

2017/2018 Brooklyn picks, Marcus Smart, Tyler Zeller, and 2019 Memphis pick for Porzingis.

That's what I'd demand if I Phil.

Also If the Phoenix Suns trade #4 for LaMarcus Aldridge I'm filing an official junction to the NBA.

That would be insane.

Paul Pierce said that if he were Doc, he "wouldn't even trade me for Aldridge".

Smith
Jackson
Monk


My personal top ten

Steal of the lottery will be Zach Collins, IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the reason why the Spurs are trying to trade into the top 10.
