And Ben Simmons!!!!
The state of the NBA today, especially with free agency, truly deters spending much time on development. Why develop someone who will leave in two years and play for your rival? At this point, players have to develop themselves, it's just the way things are.
Right, but you draft these guys knowing what their weaknesses are. Coaching a top pick doesn't seem too ridiculous.
Oh, I completely agree. And there should be more done for player development. But...here we are.
Why does Embiid take 3's?
He is a league average 3 point shooter. He can take those. The real issue in Philly is Simmons. Honestly they need to trade him.
How about them Bucks though?
Don't think the Lakers are going to be making the playoffs. That's going to be fuel for the LeBron haters.
I'm not a Lebron hater, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit happy about the Lakers' struggles, if only because Laker fans were the most annoying, delusional fanbase this sports calendar year. And not just LA fans, the analysts were ridiculous in their expectations as well. I remember Stephen A, in typical Stephen A fashion, yelling about how "THE ONLY THING STOPPING A NEW CELTICS/LAKERS FINALS RIVALRY IS THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS! THAT'S IT, PERIOD!" I mean, I expected them to do better, and I did expect them to make the playoffs, but anybody who thought they were a good enough team to even come close to the WCF were kidding themselves.
Watching them, it's clear one of their biggest problems is 3-point shooting. To put it mildly, they have none. And if you can't shoot the three nowadays, you might as well reserve a golf course for the summer at the beginning of the year. This Lakers team is just not built to succeed in today's NBA.
