Game #38 Toronto Raptors 114 - Brooklyn Nets 113

Barring injury, I don't see the point of making an incremental-type trade for the playoffs. The team's playing as well as it possibly can. The overall rotation's solid. And, super flexible - we can play basically any style we want. I suppose that a shooting big off the bench is the one thing we lack - but if we get one and we play them, we're taking minutes from Yak and Siakam, and there'd be a drop in the defence and energy, so you might be looking at a net loss there."Stop eating your sushi."

Hotshot wrote: View PostLately I have been just fascinated with the way Delon been handling the rock. When he gets the ball at the top of the key it's hard to guess what exactly he is going to do with it.Either attack the basket with his jerky slow but quick pace which make the defender dumbfounded how he got by him. Pass it to the open man who is cutting to the basket or hit a 3. Wright hasn't played much in this league and he is just scratching the surface. He is often being compared to Livinston but I think Wright will be better then he was."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Is it crazy to think that Wright is a lot like Rondo was pre-ACL injury? Rondo got to play with HOFers and in an era when 3pt shooting isn't as important as it is now. But they play the game the same way.
I am hopeful that Wright learns to shooter better than Rondo, but they are both quick, smart, and exceptionally good on defense. Delon is bigger (6'5 instead of 6'1) but has a shorter wingspan (6'6 instead of 6'9). But if we need a similarity I like this one more than Livingston.

If he can become an above average shooter(flirt with 40% from deep) he could be a top 10 starting guard in the nba just as lowry did in his late 20s. What delon lacks of Lowry's bball iq he makes up for in size and length. Seems like he's got the similiar will to win and right attitude9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

He missed basically a whole year with injury with Raps and was never healthy. Noone was going to take that contract with that injury history.

Everybody talks about injuries and shooting, Carroll's ball handling made me cringe. Everytime it was more than 2 dribbles and he'd build up a head of steam he looked like this
