his offensive playmaking ability game is raw, but he's a great teammate and an even better DEFENDER


and while his playmaking ability game is raw, what i mean when i say he's a great teammate is that he knows how to get open, makes cuts to the rim, and crashes the boards for rebounds.

He was fatigued and hurt in the latter half of the season, so his shooting numbers dropped. His ability to play as a great teammate and impact the game on the defensive end did not diminish.



positive real plus-minus on both the offensive end and defensive end


he's been interviewed on why he skipped playing for the latvian olympics team and stated that this offseason is huge for him. he intends to workout, get big and become an even better athlete. he realizes that the game is transitioning to one which favors modern stretch fours (draymond green, even anthony davis to a degree)

He won't hit his prime, but he's going to be an all-star year after next IMO. probably borderline all-star next year, but we'll see. I was too a bit worried about picking Kristaps because I know how much this forum loves to hate on NY.

Not hating on New York. I'm just saying I'm going with production vs in two years he might be an all star if x and y occur.

I'm not hating on th pick. I just said I considered it. Just depends a lot on improvement. i just think in a 3 year window I'm not going with a guy who isn't there yet. Just my preference and I've already said that when players like KAT, Wiggins, etc. went

considering he's a guy that already knows how to alter shots, cut to the rim, crashes the boards, and shoot 3s....as the #4 option as a 7'3 guy who can run the floor on the team he's a great addition to my team.


especially when you have guys like Damian/CJ/PG13 facilitating.

Furthermore, he has the potential to become one of the top 10 players in the game. People thought he was a raw rookie project coming in to the league and he quickly turned those thoughts around as he proved he belonged in the league very clearly. He's already a starter on almost all teams already, and im sure hes going to surprise people on how quickly he develops into a star too.

Did you pm winlaw

Yes, man.

Also for voting why dont we just hold onto these teams for the season and vote at the end of the season


Seen forums like realgm do that. Or have one voting session now and another mid year and another end of the year. End of the year votes hold most weight.


Try that. Probably will not hold for 3 years. If it falls apart it falls apart, but itd be a cool thing to keep a track on on the side during yhe bball year

or we could do both, since people will forget about it

So when I was in high school, I went to a point guard camp. It was ran by some white former duke point guard. Old guy funny as shit.

So part of the camp was how to get recruited. He showed us a highlight tape of a random high school game. The game went into double overtime. A lot of talent on the court. In the highlight tape it showed player x rhroughout the game. Turnovers, missed jumpers, missed layup, etc. we watched 6 minutes of highlights from the game. Nearly everybody was like why is player x still in the game around overtime. The game ended and we all swore player y was the man.

player x: had like 30 that game
Player y: only had like 10 points just saw every good play he did

I believe 5 players went on to play d1 from that game
Player x was a McDonald's all-American
Player y was not one of them

And this post is irrelevant because krisptaps will be a star in this league and if you say otherwise youre just hating.
