This is over the top pessimistic. You always want to see a player make a huge leap from their first year at a new level.....not only was Nesmith making a huge leap but was on his way to being one of the best players in the college game.Or he had a hot streak then broke his foot before it evened out. Won't know until he gets to the NBA
Weird.Woj bomb:
The Clippers are trading Landry Shamet to the Nets for No. 19, source tells ESPN.
Nesmith seems a much better shooter, longer body too.Didn't stop people from thinking Edwards would successfully make the transition to spot up shooter. This is why I think Nesmith will succeed while I thought Edwards would not.
10 inches of standing reach should help too.Didn't stop people from thinking Edwards would successfully make the transition to spot up shooter. This is why I think Nesmith will succeed while I thought Edwards would not.
preseason games are in like 3 weeks literallyWell, we'll see how he does in Summer League. Oh wait...
If true, those are extremely dumb takes since a trade requires two willing parties - it’s not like the Celtics can just will themselves to a higher pick.Lots of tweets criticizing Danny for not trading up. View: https://twitter.com/stoolgreenie/status/1329253172175458305?s=21
Exactly. Edwards figured to struggle getting clean looks against bigger and longer NBA defenders. Nesmith has the physicals to translate to this level.Carsen’s entire promise was of pull- up 3s, Nesmith is a spot up shooter who’s great at navigating space to get open without the ball. Not close to the same guy.
A lot. Here's to health.10 inches of standing reach should help too.
Not bad. He's.... a lot like Landry Shamet honestly.Isnt Kennard good
He builds his own furniture? Let's hope he doesn't build with bricks! HEEYOOOOO.
Also Carsen is a non-entity on defense. Nesmith at least has the potential to be decent on D.Exactly. Edwards figured to struggle getting clean looks against bigger and longer NBA defenders. Nesmith has the physicals to translate to this level.
Yeah, that's why it's kind of weird. I guess the clips think kennard is better than shamet and the nets think shamet is better than kennard. Nets could have just done this without the clips.Not bad. He's.... a lot like Landry Shamet honestly.
Same. He was always projected around 12-15ish.If Nesmith didn’t have the foot problem what was his likely slot?
Why isn’t Carey considered a better prospect? Good size, decent athlete, and even able to step put and hit the three (38% on few attempts)?Euro-stash at 26 and Vernon Carey at 30. I got this straight from my 8-ball predictor
Shamet is a year younger, makes less than half as much money and has an extra year of control, the money in particular is likely key for the Nets who are chasing HardenYeah, that's why it's kind of weird. I guess the clips think kennard is better than shamet and the nets think shamet is better than kennard. Nets could have just done this without the clips.
Its weird. We know shooting can improve a lot over the course of a players career. But its really hard to tell who will do it just by looking at statistics.Khris MIddleton in college shot .324, .361, .260 from 3 for a career .321 on 287 attempts. He was also a 77 percent free throw shooter.
Isn't it lack of length?Why isn’t Carey considered a better prospect? Good size, decent athlete, and even able to step put and hit the three (38% on few attempts)?
Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.Khris MIddleton in college shot .324, .361, .260 from 3 for a career .321 on 287 attempts. He was also a 77 percent free throw shooter.
That's if Harris doesn't sign elsewhere. He's an UFA and will be getting tons of interest.Wow what a great move by Marks in adding Shamet to Harris on the wing to catch-and-shoot off Durant/Kyrie/Harden(?)
He's kind of a modern-day Greg Monroe. Ten years ago he night have been taken No. 1.Why isn’t Carey considered a better prospect? Good size, decent athlete, and even able to step put and hit the three (38% on few attempts)?
Short arms, below average athleticism, slow feet and couldn't defend the P&R in college.Why isn’t Carey considered a better prospect? Good size, decent athlete, and even able to step put and hit the three (38% on few attempts)?
Like this deal even more for the Pistons
That would be awesome.Not that the team needs another undersized PG, but I don't hate Terry if he makes it to 26...
