I'm gonna be surprised when SGA scores less than 30 in a game, this is way too easy for him
 
This was a cool stat



Woj deleted the tweet, but he put up a stat saying Aaron Gordon was one of the few players in history to hit his first 8 threes in an NBA game.

There was maybe 4 other players on the list including Steph Curry. But Ben Gordon did it twice.

The highs of Ben’s career was just incredible.

some of these early season national TV games have looked like playoff games, Nuggets/Warriors was a great one

Thing I love is that Castle has so much room for growth. His FT shooting needs to get to 75-80%. That would have put him at 24-25 points this game. His 3PT shot looks better, but is still inconsistent. And oddly he fumbled the ball dribbling a bit in the second half for two(?) TOs I think. Two of those things are pretty fixable.

His passing is much better, he is also getting calls.

He shot 72% from the line last year. Seems like getting to 75% would be a pretty modest improvement--almost expected. 80% is going to be a tall task for anyone in one off-season.
 
All I’m sayin is we were on it early

From an AI Search I found this:

"Stephon Castle had a free throw percentage of 75.5% during his time at UConn."

Steph hasn’t been good tonight. Can’t be good always but sloppy with the ball and not shooting great. Some big TOs down the stretch

9 TOs is pretty ugly, but he's gotta learn to be a lead guard and I like the team letting him play through mistakes. The championship window is in 2-3 years with Wemby. Invest in his co-star now

Hawkins feels invisible out there. He's gotta start impacting games

Sure, and I think a couple were not really on him but he had some bad passes. Also as we said, gotta hit your free throws too. But, got some points at the end and they got the dub. Just yucky to see 14 TOs in 2 games, especially because he’s usually so sure with the ball.

This is his first time since HS where it’s all him running the show. Here he had Newton and Diarra, last year it was CP3 and then Fox came in.

There’s going to be growing pains but it’s necessary.

GOAT conversations in sports are usually very complicated and nuanced

If Wemby stays healthy consistently for 13-15 more years, he will be the GOAT. 0 doubt about it

And the chances of a 7'7" player in the NBA doing that are roughly 0%

The chances of a 7’7” guy being able to do a split was roughly 1% too.

Wemby was built in a lab specifically to play this sport.

No I don’t disagree. I just am used to him being so secure with the ball that its odd watching the looseness.

Is it looseness or better defenders than he’s experienced before?

Also just more responsibility.

Solo averaged the fewest amount of turnovers per game on the team last year per 40. If we gave him the responsibility of running the offense and making more decisions that number would probably go up a lot.

That’s what’s happening with Steph but it’s just an adjustment period.
 
Wemby averaging nearly 35 points and 13 rebounds a game over the first 2 games. I think he can maintain that production the entire year. Ridiculous numbers.
 
After watching Cedric Coward we should all be thankful he opted to stay in the draft and not go to Duke, he's the goods
