OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

But, as a rookie...is changing the shooting form better intervention than resting and treatment?

C'mon guys

I'm with you man, I'm not ruling out injury I'm just not seeing the logic in changing your form let alone playing

Dude is hiding his injury from an org that requires a redshirt year?

Yea zero chance KP keeps this up. Highly doubt he'll even average more than 25.

Like you said, I'm not ruling out injury for sure. It could be that.

However,

the 76ers see what the fans are seeing as far as his shooting. I have to believe that they've done their due diligence to make sure he's not being hindered by a shoulder injury.

 

[jsindaa]

We know that he DID have an injury to his shoulder this summer correct? Prior to said injury, his form was normal. It wasn't until after we saw this change. It's reasonable to believe he's not 100% because he's been completely avoiding shooting and even using his right much since then. Maybe he just won't admit to Philly the extent of his pain. Maybe he keeps lying saying he's fine. If they don't have any proof via x ray and he's insistent on playing... Maybe that's why he is at this point

OR maybe Sixers FO/coaching staff are incompetent and are still letting him play. Not a knock on them just a theory at this point.

He seems hurt. He doesnt want to shoot jumpers and hasnt attempted a 3pt shot yet. For a guy who did those things regularly in college, seems odd he would avoid them now unless somethings wrong physically.

New arena but having these kinds of issues

Mannny reasons for this. But the P*** Poor product is high on that list. We just have no players honestly. Bad contracts, no youth to look forward too, no stars or anyone that resembles a star. Until that Reggie and Andre need to get moved.

Parking and Traffic is horrible though. So even if you get off at 5 or so you will find it hard to park and make it to the game downtown on time by 7:00 pm.

It is an state of the art hockey arena. That a basketball team plays in.

Minimum 24 ppg is what I think. He was at 18 last year. He's getting more shots this year and should get to the line more so 25 is possible.
He took like 4 FTs per game last year. He should get AT LEAST 7 per game this year as the primary option and that'll help him in the scoring department.

[lovehateself]

welp, give him that red shirt already

 

[notoriousmj23]

'David Griffin admits Cavs F'd up drafting Anthony Bennett.' "The kid had no desire"

 

[100027]

Yeah no way in hell that's sustainable Kristaps is averaging 32 right now and I have serious doubts he'll keep it up.

Yea zero chance KP keeps this up. Highly doubt he'll even average more than 25.

Yeah, agree. With that said super proud of how Kristaps has stepped up so far this season.

 

[100027]

There you go. Rest him man, damn!

Shows heart to be out there but is also mad stupid.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Sixers lying.

 

[JD617]

Welp.

 

[notoriousmj23]

what sucks is, he probably could've not played any of these games this year; game outcomes be the same, and he could've got his rookie year back.

Going into summer league did he have the shoulder injury?

Welp looks like his agent is letting it be known officially

Fluid on your shoulder?

Never heard of that

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

So this goes back to the point as to why would you change your form instead of resting

Just dumb choices all around

 

[dacomeup]

NT Doctors still not convinced by his facial expressions.

First comment:

I don’t think he’s going to be that great. That’s why you don’t draft guys that haven’t played with other Alphas. We’ll see how Simmons does. At least Lonzo, Jackson & Tatum all had competition on a regular basis. Jackson & Tatum has to find out how to fit into their systems. This is the first time Fultz is experiencing it. Embiid & Simmons aren’t going anywhere. Maybe getting hurt again, hope not.

Ay I mentioned you in the fantasy football thread

How you feel about Tyler Kroft vs the Colts this weekend as a bye week fill-in?

Don't remember for sure if it was going into or during.

Same here I had to read that twice.

Yup rest the kid, don't ruin his future.

 

[Moheezy]

Ahh FINALLY some confirmation. This feels good. Now the Sixers should smarten up and rest him.
