Although if he plays another 10 seasons (he's still only 26), he's going to end up Top 25 scoring in NBA history.
He is one of the most durable players in the league, maybe even league history.

Just wonder if that mileage racks ever racks up. Benefit of having elite genetics.

His elite genetics is exactly why I think he can play another 800-900 career games while averaging around 18.5 (maybe more) over those games. 27,000+ career points seems possible if he stays healthy. Long ways to go, obviously

Staying on a winning team will go a long way towards hitting those numbers. His energy/effort/focus is so much better on GS.

The scout in the article says he cant be your third player.

Say what you want about his career in Minny--its clear he cant be your 1 or 1B - but hes either GSs 2nd or 3rd player right now and they are maybe the best team in the NBA.

I think they're going to win a championship this year unless Kyrie gets vaccinated and can play in home games. Even then. GS might be too much. Klay looks like he's full speed and is just being cautious. We will find out Saturday. I think they said his return will be at home.

Once Klay is back Wiggins is an insanely good 4th player. I struggle to rank him ahead of Dray. And Jordan Poole is averaging 18/3/3 as their 5th best. He's having a great year too. Hell he's got 4 30pt games this season....it's unheard of for your 4th and 5th best player to have 6 (combined) games scoring 30pts or more.

Well I'd hurry up and do it before Rudy Gobert and Hassan Whiteside get healthy. Otherwise you will be watching Dok sit on the bench.

I wasn't being a dick, just didn't seem like he realized the situation with the Jazz roster currently.

Like keeping up with Jayhawks in the NBA so i know who is starting and why?

My god. What a weird thing to freak out about. I was trying to be nice so you didn't wait 3 weeks to buy a ticket and then wonder why Dok wasn't starting anymore.

I think we were all aware that Dok likely did not displace perennial DPoY Gobert in the starting lineup.

Illy knew too.
He just wanted to point out that Dok's start didn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

I am sorry you guys feel that way, but you're wrong.

I was the 1st to rush here and post that Dok was starting because I was excited for him and wanted people to be able to watch since he was on TV.

Trad said he was going to look into Jazz tickets after seeing Dok started. I was simply letting him know he should keep an eye on if Dok was his main reason for wanting to go.

I follow our NBA Jayhawks closely and always try to share quick links and updates.

Trad was clearly not aware. He'd probably admit it, as he has said before he's not a big NBA watcher iirc.
