specifically Jokic and Doncic. Will Jokic be the MVP again? The West is a crapshoot this year.

Anyways, it’s been a week since I’ve seen anyone around, hope everyone’s good…

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

RJ Barrett is another player looking more promising over the summer… the Brandon Ingram trade is going to turn out interesting.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Sengun has been playing really well… hope he can keep it up in the NBA.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Markkanen lead Finland beat the Joker today in Eurobasket…

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Apparently there’s been reports that Wemby”s been working out with the Dream!

[HitsterParticipant]

If the Dream is helping to mentor Wemby then that should be fun.

I always thought Wemby could look to learn the skyhook given it is probably the most prolific scoring shot by one player in NBA history. With his size Wemby would be unstoppable if he mastered that.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Germany is going to be tough to beat in Eurobasket.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

2PM Eastern time tomorrow… recommending the Eurobasket final between Germany and Turkey. Sengun might be the guy that’s played the best in Eurobasket play… but I think Germany is going to take it… they’re pretty deep of a team.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Germany just too much!!!

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

FVV out likely for the season… Reed Sheppard time!

[OhCanada-Participant]

We can finally settle our debate. I know you’ve been waiting for Reed to get FVV’s minutes.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

He won’t put up surface numbers better, especially with KD in the lineup… but I think he’ll be more efficient.

[HitsterParticipant]

Big blow to Houston as it makes a year out of the KD window. Will they still be sharing ball handling as FVV was under 6 apg last year. Segun averaged nearly 5 and Amen was 3.8, KD will contribute to that figure too. But Reed getting a run will be fun to see and he was drafted on his shooting as much as anything so the stage is set for him.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

Ouch! What a burner for Scoot… out 2 months with a pulled hammy. Not good for his development.

[OhCanada-Participant]

Is Hitser going to join our fantasy league this year? Theres always an invitation for you if you would like to join.

[HitsterParticipant]

I haven’t done fantasy leagues for a few years as I don’t always have time to regularly update line ups. Also the time difference between here in England and the bulk of the rest of you in the US is also an issue.

Is it a “stats padder” type Fantasy League or a more detailed one.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

categories league where you play someone else head to head each week. Fun stuff, competitive but not that serious… great group too!

[HitsterParticipant]

Sounds interesting I haven’t drafted a fantasy team for years.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

It would be pretty cool if you joined…

[OhCanada-Participant]

I dont really have time to set lineups either but its still fun. At this point our group has been doing this league for more than 10 years for sure with Norrin, Cynthia, Mooch, DMO etc. Last year I missed the draft. I’ts been about 3 years since I’ve made the playoffs. Its just an engaging way to keep up with all the players in the league I find.

[HitsterParticipant]

I’ve been trying to keep and eye on the rookies in preseason games to see who is getting game time and where in rotation they are. Good to see DaRon Holmes back and getting minutes for Denver, Fears came the the bench on his debut and the started the next game which I think is the perfect way to start off any highly touted rookie.

[NorrinRaddParticipant]

I’m rooting for DaRon Holmes big time!!! Loved the prospect in him… he’s got the GLeague likely ahead of him this year or minimum the end of the bench with the loaded depth up front for Denver though. I hope he sticks whether it’s in Denver or elsewhere… Fears looks like a small kid out there. Hope Brooklyn develops him into a special player.
