Dunking is fan candy and worth two points just like a lay up 🤣

I think the key with Ayo is that he struggled with getting his layups and finishes at the rim blocked by the defender at the Pro level quite a bit. He even struggled with this in college. But he has much more lift off the ground and has improved his vertical greatly in the last 5 years alot. So his layups off penetration are way more successful. And he will only continue to improve year after year.

Barring any major injuries or weird slumps hitting, Ayo will have a very long pro career and will make massive FAT DADDY bucks in the process.

Could not be more happier!!

Still some Clipper fans screaming for Acuff. They are the equivalent of people who read a headline and run for the comment section.

A decent G-League player would score 15 a game if he chucked it as much as Acuff’s allowed to do.

Worried about Wil Riley. Cast aside by the Wizards? He was pretty promising at the end of last year.
Should the Bulls trade Pat Williams for him? Or Buddy Hield?

Very alarming. He’s only in his 2nd year after being a OAD. Needs a lot of development.

Timberwolves absolutely hammering Dallas.

Ayo with another solid game. 12 pots, 5-10 FG, 2-4 3pt. A +23 which leads the team.

TSJ with only 6 minutes. It’s been sad to see his minutes go down, game by game. Hopefully he gets traded and can find his footing.

The same problem as last year. Finch plays a short bench. When Ant gets back it'll be even worse.

He plays the same position as the guy they picked #1. They’ll end up trading him. He has a lot of value for the right team.

TSJ picked up 2 fouls in about a minute which sat him down. He has been playing quite a bit (21 minutes) but a lot of subs with a 40 point Timberwolves lead.
