Och is the best and I can't believe I am saying that after the last 3 years.

CB might be the best at the rim, but he lacks that first step to get there in the first place.

Agreed. CB just needs to finish better. He has gotten there a lot but has missed an unreal amount of make-able shots at the rim. Next year, I suspect he will have a wide range of floaters and finishing skills.

Are you referencing some of last season? CB is 61% from 2 this year--granted, you have to consider wide open transition dunks.

He's vastly improved at the rim this season and I think it all has to do with how much stronger he is.

And now here we are, defending Dajuan for his intangibles.

Lol, so true

Hopefully that's due to Remy's knee. But, I mean, to those saying that DaJuan is statistically bad - he's statistically better than his replacement.

That's great he is shooting such a high percentage this year. It just seems that this year he has had an inordinate number of close shots roll of the rim that had a chance to go in. Maybe it is just because he is driving so much more than last year that the volume of them is high enough to be memorable. Why things stick in my head is always a mystery to me.

I agree with you that he has improved from last year. I suspect he will get even better next year as he continues to get stronger, gets some NBA feedback after the season and puts in a summer similar to what Agbaji did this past offseason. At least that is my hope for him.

I have also noticed more rim-outs lately, especially on his one handed floating bank shot.

Most everyone's stats are going to take a dip in conference from non-con. Except NPOY Ochai Agbaji apparently.

So he did have a short leash, and he earned the long one he has now. I want to see the other guards do that.

Yeah, that candid comment was cool to hear.

But it sucks that the only bar Self has for one guard is “just don’t turn it over,” while for everybody else it’s “if you airball one open shot like Juan does you’re delegated to the watching-Teahan’s-mustache-grow end of the bench”

LA Melo plays for the Lakers.
My guess is not too many people on here know LaMelo's middle name is LaFrance.

This may seem an inane comment to some, but I really appreciate gutter responding to me. This board has a certain niche and it’s not always welcoming to new posters (or old ones too, maybe, as evidenced by this being gutters 7th profile?). Anyway, thanks.

As for Wiggins, I think it’s cool, dude is finally surrounded by enough talent that he can blossom.

I don't really notice who posts what unless the post is goofy. Welcome to the board, it is nice to have a fresh voice and new perspective amongst us. I look forward to your participation here; don't let any bickering and infighting slow you. Some here are like old married couples; they have been around each other for a long time now.

Neither has been exceptional.

But yeah, between his knee, and the short leash treatment, who knows.

I’d be curious to see what happened if Self buried Juan on the bench after a bonehead play, like he does to all the other guards.

Or if he let other guards play through mistakes
