Things that make you go hmm

[Section 101]

3 of the 4 guys drafted ahead of Fox have been traded. Only Tatum remains with his team.

Only Tatum remains with his team.

And they were ready to move him for Davis before the Lakers came over the top.

Of course, had that happened then Ball would still be a Laker and the number would still be 3 of 4. The point remains that two of the four drafted before Fox were absolute busts.

The talking heads are saying Michael Porter Jr is the X-factor in the playoffs.

Teams are extending would be restricted free agents on max deals

 

[NewArena]

And the teams that passed on him would love to have Fox at point guard right about now lol

With each passing season, I feel better and better about saying I would have taken Fox #1 in that draft. Every once in a while I get lucky with my opinions.

I was against drafting MPJ, but I could've been wrong.

No you weren't. Sans possibly Donovan Mitchell (arguable), the KINGS got the best player that was available to them at #5.

MPJ was drafted last year (Ayton, Bagley, Doncic class) not the year before.

 

[Cojc]

At the top of the draft their are players that are pretty sure to go 1 or 2 most years.

But picking 5 I was elated when Fox fell to us.

Which talking heads?

And you may ask yourself, where's my top-5 draft slot?
And you may ask yourself, where's my spot in the rotation?
And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful back brace
And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful bench

Letting the days go by (let the Nuggets sit me down)
Letting the days go by (teammates running all around)
Back to the bench again (until the playoffs start)
I'm the X-Factor! (let the Nuggets sit me down)

Destined to become a classic post. Nicely done.

The talking heads on The Jump, First Take, the NBA Channel, etc.

Ahhh. Sorry, they’re all melding together to me.

My bad. But still, Bagley and #77 were the better picks.

Kenny Smith: There's only 5 players in the world that can get in the paint after a made basket and get somebody a basket: Westbrook, Harden, LBJ, Curry, maybe Leonard.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
