Love the college pics, ITP. Nice touch

Thunder Projected Lineup


PG – Theo Maledon
SG – Svi Mykhailiuk
SF – Aleksej Pokusevski
PF – Isaiah Roby
C – Moses Brown



if we dont win this game, blow it up. Blow it all the way up. Their entire starting lineup could be on "who he play for?" On inside the NBA

[MixxAOR]

Theo Maledon was 34th pick. Younger and Taller than Malachi. Kinda puzzling why Masai didn't pick him

Theo is too tall. Malachi is an FVV clone. That's the type of player we're looking for.

lol. Everybody has finally come around to tanking this season. "Blow it TF up" is the next stage of realization. That happens next year, hopefully, but probably 2 seasons from now.

Yeah jury still out on Flynn but there's some work to do there. You need to have at least 1 of these 3 things to survive in the nba:

--Length/physical bulk
--Speed
--High bbiq (court vision, positional awareness, distance shooting etc.)

The first 2 won't be there for him, and the 3rd looks like it's still a work in progress

Apparently his best skills are his defense and his p'n'r' quarterbacking...but he doesn't get run on many screen and rolls, and his defense hasn't really passed the eye test much yet to me

To develop young players, you have to force them play to their weaknesses and see what they're made of... is the philosophy? Who knows? Or maybe it's more simple... everybody just give the ball to Fred and Pascal and be ready to take the bail-out 3... just like the old Kyle/DD days.

Flynn's defense is pretty decent for a rookie and especially considering his size. He moves his feet and cuts off drives most of the time. Also fights over screens without getting bumped off as much as I would have expected, given his slight frame.

Lowry's out with foot issues. TANKAHOY

Uh oh, that is an imposingly shitty lineup

Yeah but what's his wingspan?
