    I actually thought Booker was 21, but anyway his defense was so bad that it made him an average NBA player. He's going to be a star though

    To further the point on hockey, Connor McDavid is coming off his second season in the NHL in which he was the league's leading scorer and MVP. He turned 20 in January.

    I agree and I think when this is an acknowledged fact, Lebron's gonna join him, if the Cavs don't win the title next season.

    That team could be absolutely stacked.

    Lonzo, Ingram, George, Lebron, Lopez with Clarkson, Caldwell-Pope, Randle and Kuzma off the bench.

    And then it'll have the LaVar circus lol

    Is he playing left back? If not probably has a lot to do with it. If you're versatile you get stuffed at left back a lot because there are so few natural ones. Then everyone thinks you're not very good while you're actually better than others and why you got put there to begin with. It's just not your best spot.

    LB, although he can play RB or either CM position, and maybe CB.

    Chelsea is great. Montreal will get more money than from anyone else. And Talba won't play neither for Canada nor USA anyway, so I don't particularly care about his future.

    FYP. No promising young players play for Chelsea. It's all 25-30 year old stars. It's how they compete year-in-year-out. Developing young talent is too much of a crapshoot for them.

    I figured. I also thought that it could be because you like another EPL team/dislike Russian Oil money, so I just wanted to be sure!

    Gressel has to be the most overrated player on Atlanta United.

    A sad has had a poor game, yet Tata won't bring Carleton on. Brought McCann in for Asad. BS

    Vazquez has done very well since being subbed on.

    If Carleton was from Uruguay, he'd have gotten like 1000 minutes or more by now this season. This is bordering on being a deliberate saboteur.

    There is no good argument that this McCann guy who's a defensive midfielder is more of a help to a team needing to score a goal.

    To be fair, McCann did come in and help stabilize the midfield, and ATL got the 3 points, without Martinez.

    Plus, it's hard to say that the coach is anti-US, as 18 year old Brandon Vasquez has been getting solid minutes off the bench even with Kewyne Jones in the squad.

    Tata likely has his reasons. He sees him train, and probably doesn't see him as quite there yet. ATL doesn't have a shortage of attacking options.

    His back was probably still hurt from carrying his DA team to the championship.

    Lets be real for a second here, McCann didn't hep them get 3 points more than anyone else who stood around and watched Villalba create something out of nothing. Thats on him, and no one else. And I still think Vazquez is under-used. Why does Julian Gressel play instead of him? Vazquez is five years younger and as effective, if not more. Why does MLS need German league rejects taking PT from young Americans? I don't think it does the league any good, but thats a completely different discussion.

    One thing I think we can conclude is that Carleton will not play any big role this season. If he's not going to be used when they need a goal and he's the only attacker left on the bench, why should anyone think he's gonna play the rest of the season?
