claptondecheeks 1,028 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How many guys have you guys missed out on bc the hype didn’t pay off right away? Last year it happened to me with Wood. I added and dropped him a few times until someone was more patient than I was scooped him and rode him to a first place finish. The main thing keeping quickly from blowing up is Payton’s health, who has missed at least a month each of the last few seasons due to injury and who is playing like 36 minutes per game this season. You’re gonna drop quickly to stream some scrub that you don’t even need? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a lot more than the number of guys who actually pan out. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what you do during the season (assuming you're not fighting for a 6th spot for playoffs). We're not talking about infinite patience here, but no need to drop at the first flop when the potential is obvious. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stay_woke 1,305 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Imagine watching this kid play and saying he 'doesnt pass the eye test', dude is a straight up baller. Patience will pay off for holding him come the second half of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesBridgesBetterThanZion 288 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 What happened to fade for cade? Start this clearly talented rookie, fans want it. If they lose better chance at cade fans want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfut 37 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Should have 2 more assists right now (5). Missed lob flush by Noel and Randle fumbled an open backdoor pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zerthimon 30 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He won't be able to do this with just 24 mins every night (POR defense among the worst). Will Thibs unleash him soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He got 1 assist he didn't deserve too when he tried drawing contact and just threw the ball in the air and Mitch Robinson just dunked it as if it were an alley.

Nah, I was watching my FG% closely and it went down after that shot. Also looking at the play by play it shows as a missed driving floating jump shot, Mitch Rob offensive board and dunk. That is if you're talking about the one at 19 seconds, which it seems you are (he tried to draw a foul and chucked up an airball). As for the alley oop at 10 seconds, I heard the commentators call it an alley oop (my head was turned), so I'm guessing he did deserve credit for that assist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I stand corrected if you were scoreboard watching. Second connection was a legitimate alley. I was watching the game and I thought he got credit for an assist on the failed contact/air ball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkyume 941 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 31/3/4, with 5 3PTM, 8/8 FT in... exactly 24 minutes 😮 PT was a completely even split - Elf played entire Q1/Q3, IQ played entire Q2/Q4. Strong hold / pick up to see if he can build further on this 50/50 split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
