NBA November Thread

Flagg & Knueppel (who is crushing it), are the current betting favorites to win NBA ROY. Crazy how much talent that Duke team had on it last year. Wide margin on the third place candidate.

listening to Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe's pod going through all 30 NBA teams and their league pass rankings and their last parting shot of the Pelicans:

Lowe: "you know what's one small thing I wish for the Pelicans, I wish alleged shooting guard Jordan Hawkins could make more shots"

I heard that too. Simmons has been high on Hawkins for 2 years waiting for him to get consistent.

Tough to blame a train wreck org on a shooter not being able to shoot - that’s kinda on him.

McNeeley is back, Andre got extended run last night, almost 29 min, 6 pts, 5 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl. Cam was the Griz second leading scorer off the bench, 17 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast in a win over the Mavs

Saw AJX made a 3 last night - form looks much improved, Curry like with a little bit of a push shot. Not nearly as weird as it used to look.

Timberwolves could sign 26.7 PPG free agent to make up for declining Mike Conley | Sporting News

Minnesota could use some more explosiveness.

Sounds like it’s just a speculation or even a suggestion by the writer, but I love to see some buzz around Tristen getting another real look in the league.

Nice title

The Wolves was always going to be tough for Newton. They had a LOT of guards. Ant, aging-but-veteran Conley, Donte, with TSJ and Dillingham looking to make a step up. Newton didn’t do great in the summer league and got put back in the G League

Fast forward and Conely/TSJ/Dillingham have regressed (TSJ has battled injuries to be fair), and the Wolves are not that good. Meanwhile Newton has worked hard and is averaging 27/9/4 on great splits.

Maybe, just maybe…the stars aligned. I really hope he gets this opportunity and makes the most of it!!
