Mba is a really good stretch 4 defender but puts up some horrible shots. Doc should tell him not to take any shots except open layup and dunks
He's been hitting some midrangers. But this is the preseason. Anyway a good alternative to have to put on bigger small forwards, shooting guards. Surprising lenght as well.
I'm sure you might have a good shot at it, if when we play in the regular season the Warriors again choose to rest the regular season MVP as well as the finals MVP. Oh, and Bogut too. But nice win.
Ha, I did some digning and found out his wingspan is 7'0. So yeah, surprising lenght. Anyway, here are some of my predictions for the upcoming season. Individual: MVP: Durant - contract year, basically had a ''year off'', though his beef with Stephen A Smith could make the media members turn on him MIP: Antetokounmpo - this must be the year he explodes. That Milwakuee team added Monroe and Jabari is back. Middleton made leaps last year and I think they will likely be the first team behind the Bulls and Miami (and probably Wizards, though considering their health I'll leave it open), with the Greek freak leading the charge COY: I think it's Kidd. That team in Milwakuee just sounds like so much fun and with a real bigman and Jabari back, they'll likely be the team that has improved the most out in the East. ROY: I'ma go with Karl Anthony Towns. I like D'Angello more, but he's not likely to start in LA, meanwhile with Towns, he's basically their guaranteed starting center. I think Okafor might put up a fight, but Philly will likely have the worst record yet again, that's why I'm giving it to Towns. DPOY: Kawhi - is this really a question? Green can give him a run for his money, but Kawhi is from another planet. I'm not sure about 6th man, since I don't know how teams are going to look like 2 months from now. Team awards: I have Golden State winning the West regular season and Cleveland winning the East. Most improved team in the East will be the Bucks and in the West I think it goes without saying that it's OKC.
Mvp - durant Roy - okafor Dpoty - whiteside Mip - smart Wcc - okc Ecc - cavs Champs - okc Finals Mvp - westbrook Coty - kidd (good call)
Why I didn't get notified of this thread despite being tagged is beyond me. Sigh. Well, I'm here now.
Mudiay will be going against the best of the best with the likes of Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Parker on a weekly basis. Is he really going to prosper against those players? I think Towns has a better shot.

Houston will have a regular season record similar to those of GSW, OKC, Clippers and SAS. Ain't no way they're falling behind Memphis and especially not New Orleans. How do you expect Atlanta to have another year like they just had, when they lost one of their better performers in Carroll? And Cleveland 3rd... Really? Good pick for Davis. I tottally forgot him in DPOY. I think it's time he started picking up some individual awards.
As much as I want to believe in the Spurs as Champions, they are still relying on some old dudes and Clippers and GSWs are going to be really tough outs for them, and that's just ignoring the looming OKC Thunder. As usual, the West is an absolute war.
I can't remember the new thunder or bulls coaches names but both will be up for Coty as the Bulls offence looks amazing in terms of pnr sets and okc have a stupidly good squad
Apparently Pop is taking over from Krzyzewski in 2017 and will lead the USA men basketball team until 2020. That man is just amazing. At this point of his career, he still has the energy to take on a project like that. Amazing. Though what's interesting is the format for qualifying for the WC. Apparently qualification games will be held DURING the NBA season. That would mean ''international breaks'' in the NBA. Can't wait to see how that USAB team looks like.
Ofcourse he will.. Mudiay will have the ball 24/7 and has the most experience out of any of the rookies in a professional setting with all the "be the man now" skills. He's going to be what MCW was at 76ers the year he won.
