What do you think about Darius Bazley's future with the OKC Thunder?
I’m a massive Lauri Markkanen fan and would love to see the thunder trade for him. Great contract and would be an amazing fit/addition. Do you think this package gets it done?
Jazz receive: lu Dort, we give them their 2024 frp back and bazley.
Thunder receive: lauri markkanen
It all went downhill for bazley after his last baze time. It was a very non-thunder basketball sequence to say the least..
👆 – MY PRIVATE PHOTO HERE 💥👩z🥰
It’s so difficult projecting a very young player but there have to make hard decisions based on progress and shooting. Baze should have taken a big step by now but his shooting form is still poor and his position has many takers now with Poku, JRE and especially Ousmane who I think will be a star in two or three years. Even though he is tough and physical Eugene is another.
It’s obvious to me that Shai’s style and minutes is wearing him down but just as Josh is improving which was a concern. Mark has to get them to mesh more now. I would definitely give Tre more freedom as he seems hesitant as though he fears making a mistake.
Shot blocking teams give the Thunder style problems and JJackson is elite but I think soon the drivers will start to stop and pull up. And with Chet this team will be entirely different on both ends.
Did you catch Cam Whitmore last night? Second game in over 2 months and he dominated. I’m guessing he’s going two as his game, reflexes and big boy build translates into a superstar. Watch the video from last night. An extremely young squad with patience, tinkering and teaching required.
Skip college don't have the fundamentals and he can't shot.
After watching I think you nailed it. JWill will definitely fit in once he gets some real time.
I concur on Baze, as his shot is just not there, and they have a plethora at that position. Have to mesh Josh and Shai more as Josh is turning it up and Shai is wearing down. Memphis a very tough matchup with Ja, JJ, Brooks, SA and Tyus. I can see them in the finals.
I think Ousmane is going to better than Poku and when Chet returns everything will be different. Did you watch Cam Whitmore? Please do as I can see him being perhaps the best player in the draft. He is different. Thanks
