  1. Yeah that's pretty funny. http://thecomeback.com/nba/atlanta-hawks-first-round-picks-paul-george.html
  2. I thought so but it wouldn't be the first time I was missing something. Lol. Appreciate the help.
  3. So if Gelon leaves and we bank it how many open sports would we have? I've seen 5 and 6 throw around and I'm far too lazy to look it up. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  4. Whiteside not on one but DeAndre Jordan is? That's hilarious. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  5. Great offers, good size, and looks like a solid football player. Hopefully we throw him an offer after making his top 11. Once again, great find Luce. Keep'em coming.
  6. On May 17, 2017, Cornell died suddenly in Detroit after performing at a show with Soundgarden according to his representative, Brian Bumbery. The cause of death is currently unknown,[128][129] though Detroit Police confirmed they are investigating Cornell's death as a possible suicide.[130][131]
  7. I see your Reds and I raise you the Phillies. But hopefully with a new GM things will continue to improve.
  8. They had Travis Diener who spent 5 seasons in the NBA too.
  9. Thats why I'm optimistic. Our defense carried us last season while our offense was the drizzling s***s, I'm hoping another year under Allen's system and our relatively weak schedule can get us there. 6-7 wouldnt shock me either.
  10. 8-9 wins this next season is very attainable IMO
  11. From Bloomington to LA. Hope he can make the team out of training camp. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  12. Ainge wasn't even the best GM the Celtics had. Billy King was. Lol (Hopefully people understand the joke and don't really think I think Billy King was the C's GM) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  13. A reporter said his dad confirmed he was returning and then Rojo denied it so some people here decided that means he threw his dad under the bus and they are having issues.
  14. NBA Comparison: Tony Mitchell/Noah Vonleh Strengths: Excellent wingspan (7’2.5”) for his size ... Possesses the body control to get to and finish at the rim ... Very capable of making an impact off of straight-line drives ... Has an NBA-ready frame ... Surprising lateral speed for a player with as much muscle mass as he shows ... Defensive potential is his calling card ... Already shows the signs of being a high-level defender ... Can guard multiple positions on the court ... Length could allow him to develop into a small-ball big in the future ... Light on his feet on the perimeter ... Disruptive defender, jumps passing lanes whenever he sees the opportunity ... Was an interior presence defensively, especially as the weak side defender ... Able to stay on the floor and block shots as a perimeter defender due to excellent reach ... Possesses nice defensive instincts ... Closes out well and under control on shooters ... Flashed solid footwork understanding on the offensive end ... Will make open or uncontested threes ... Shot has a nice rotation and backspin on it, hits the rim softly ... Sees and makes the extra pass ... Monster on the offensive boards ... Can keep possessions alive with rebounds and will convert second-chance opportunities into baskets ...Very good cutter off the ball ... Good at cutting back door. Looks for defender to turn head and then makes his baseline move to the lane ... Ally oop threat, likely to make plenty of highlight plays on lob passes ... His offensive numbers are misleading as he actually has very good potential as a shooter, if he can hone his ability in using deception to create looks ... Weaknesses: No real defined role offensively yet ... A little bit stiff in his movements and running the floor ... Thick legs ... Doesn't always exhibit an ideal level of intensity ... Needs to work on his ability to create shots ... Shot mechanics need some fine tuning as he has a bit of a slow release and seems to telegraph his shot too often ... His motion gets sped up if a defender is too close to him ... Shoots with minimal arc and not much rotation ... Only shot 52 percent from the free throw line ... Is not a strong ball handler, dribbles high and away from body ... Can be very loose with the ball, especially with his off hand ... Does not create his own offense ... Won’t be an instant facilitator at the next level ... Has trouble recognizing the open player as a playmaker … His effort was very up-and-down during his stint at Indiana ... While he has the tools to become a quality defender, was slow at times reacting on defense ... Late-bloomer so his basketball IQ needs some catching up ... Post skills are extremely raw and in need of refinement ... While he shows solid attributes and potential as a rebounder, remains extremely unproven having averaged 2.6 and 5.4 rebounds per game over his FR and SO seasons ... Is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in late January, which could cloud his draft stock ... Outlook: Hoping to capitalize on the substantial internet hype that he had generated, Anunoby entered the 2017 draft and signed with an agent, despite a disappointing season in which he suffered a torn ACL ... After shutting down Kentucky freshman Jamal Murray in the Round of 32 in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, Anunoby became a hot name and one to watch for in the 2017 draft class ... His numbers saw an uptick, but with his struggles in getting clean looks, his game didn’t change much before he ultimately went down with an injury ... Had Tom Crean kept his job at IU, Anunoby likely would be back in Bloomington, IN ... However, with him being young for his class (won’t turn 20 until September) and possessing the body and athletic profile that he does, he certainly possesses a lot of intrigue to teams ... A bit of a tweener as he lacks a polished skill set, especially offensively at either forward position ... At this point he's a project, coming off a major injury ... With proper development, Anunoby could become a valued asset in the modern NBA game ... Notes: Averaged 25 mpg, 11.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 56.3 FT%, 31.1 3P%, 55.7 FG% in 16 games as a sophomore ... Measured 6'6.5 without shoes, 243 lbs, 7'2.5 wingspan, and a 8'10.5 standing reach in the summer of 2016 ... Brandon Jefferson 5/8/17 http://www.nbadraft.net/players/og-anunoby

  18. Nice find Luce. Updated the first post with all his links
  19. I think DeRon will end up being our best player next season. If he puts in the work this offseason and buys in the sky is the limit
  20. Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein Robert Johnson is withdrawing from the 2017 NBA Draft and plans to finish his senior year at Indiana, per a source. #iubb Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  21. Olivia I mean this with all due respect but you're making yourself look bad. Fair weather and Bandwagon fans are the worst. Just root for Duke as far as I'm concerned.
  22. RBB89 just dropped the mic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  23. I'll take a kid like that over a kid that is an unquestionable superstar but has no heart every time.
  24. Agreed. Most loved his passion when we were winning but after a bad season people want to do nothing but talk bad about the kid. Seems to be a trend on here and other IU sites with players that are leaving lately.
  25. That's not true at all. As someone who went to more than a few Rockets games and someone that's around Rockets fans in general everyday he hasn't changed defensively. Just one case I watched him get picked clean by Stephen curry and while the rest of his teammates got back Harden never even got close to half court instead he stead down on the other end crying that it should have been a foul.
