If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostThey bring Giannis off the bench most of the time as well. All in all it's odd because they've been so bad all year with not much talent. And I thought Casey's rotations could be frustrating. It makes even less sense with Giannis because they really suck on the wing. At least at C/F they have Pachulia and Ilyasova as well, veterans who can be steady.I'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

He's 23 in his 2nd season, so there's still upside, but depending on how the Raps analytic dept feels about him, maybe is the Raps that don't make the deal.

But to play devil's advocate for a moment: Bill Simmons' brought up the idea of ruining your rookie with inflated ego and bad habits. He likened MCW's play this year to Antoine Walker's with Boston.

Don't mean to single you out, even Zach Lowe/Kevin Pelton were talking about how he thought Cousins was a poor defender, yet the RPM stat said otherwise. I believe Pelton pointed out that he talks to his NBA team contacts and a couple who would actually divulge (a tiny bit) of their teams analytics said their numbers show Cousins as a plus defender also.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong this season.
While they are in the same boat as Philly, they took a different route to get there.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
