Is it bad that I eat a whole watermelon every day?

Yup, if you're on a cut

[Superjudge]

What I miss.... was Jonas fat because of his diet?

Is he not eating like a rookie now?

Is he hitting the gym, getting bigger, but leaner and becoming a professional athlete?

*Everything JV*

Just to say that I'm 100% sure that JV will play more than 30 minutes this upcoming season. The only other guys that can play center on the team are the same age as JV, as Scola and Patterson cannot.

I just can't wait to see JV play this upcoming season. At least 14 and 9!!! And that is pessimist!

[Bonus Jonas]

If JV hits 30mpg he should be getting 10 boards. This year he averaged 9.96 per 30 minutes and he's improved his rebounding rate every year.

And I feel like he should be able to get more than 14 ppg, again if we extrapolate to 30 mpg he'd average 13.7.

If he's averaging 30 mpg and getting the touches he deserves I could very well see him getting 16&10. But that's a big if.

I think he'll play anywhere bewteen 28-30m and average about 14/10&2

To me that's not much of a ''big'' if! Let's agree for 15 and 10! Scola will essentially get Amir's role minus the minutes at the 5 spot and Biyombo will get Hansbrough's role.

Finally, Nogueira will play Hayes' minutes.

This means that JV will play more for suuuureeeeee!

I can very easily see Casey playing Scola at the 5 in small lineups. I almost expect it. And if he does, and everything else in your situation pans out, he ends up with the same amount of minutes as last year. Not to mention more minutes doesn't guarantee he gets the touches he deserves.

Heh, other than Jonas, the only bigs who got regular minutes last year were all 6'9". Casey doesn't feel the need to play any traditional C at the C for more than the 26-28 mpg Jonas gets from year to year.

Mike Malone on his defensive schemes:

That’s a good word — intuitive. What we’ve always done is, with our power forwards, be more aggressive, and with our centers, drop back a bit. You always have the blitzes in your pocket in case a guy really gets going.

Pretty simple stuff, Dwane.

Here's some more lol. Mike Malone on throwing his players under the bus:

I don’t believe in throwing players under the bus. Some coaches will coach through the media. I don’t believe in that. I’m gonna protect our guys.

Nah, man a 7 foot, slow center should be chasing guards on perimeter and closing out on corner threes
