I've been to multiple NBA arenas that don't put last names up on the scoreboard. At a lot it's only jersey number and then points/rebounds/assists/fouls.
Marquese Chriss has come on strong since the ASB, his rebounding is a bit 
but I would guess that will get better as he gets stronger.
13ppg, 5rpg, 2bpg, 54% from the field and 44% from three in 27mpg, definitely a new age PF.
@MooseMouthMthafuga @GoddamnyamanProf how is it yall continually get these hyper athletic PFs (McDyess, Amare).

I find it funny Kings pretty much gave him away and yet still got lucky enough that Skal is working out.
Still don't understand the rational of trading the pick though. I know guys didn't workout for them or some agents were straight up trying to avoid them, but still.
They got two players for 1 which is why I think they did it, they probably liked Papagiannis a lot and they don't seem too high on WCS so it makes sense from that standpoint. They got lucky with Skal falling so far, I bet they didn't expect him to be the 28th pick.
The Celtics passing up on Skal twice is just more Danny being Danny

The Takeover
He got the whole board thinking Spurs fans are retarded dikkheads
IF @Brooklynzson ban @Mr210 I'll slap that CAC in front of the Alamo

Furthermore, I don't know why talented big men continue going to Kentucky. I know the reputation there, but I swear Cal does most bigs a disservice with his inability to show their actual offensive skills or even develop any offensive skills for them. A lot of people thought Davis's offense was going to be weak coming out and he definitely underutilized Towns as well(hell everyone was underutilized while the Harrisons were there as they got far too many touches/shots off).
Skal was a shytshow in college, but I don't think Cal nor the Kentucky situation helped.
Eh, I think Cal does a good job of teaching bigs how to use their size as shotblockers and learn to play big, Skal was just his first real big miss, mainly because Skal actually hadn't played any real HS ball prior to going to UK.
Cal actually helped KAT a lot, there's a reason why KAT wasn't the number 1 recruit going into college and it's cause his post game was weak as fukk. He learned to play like a big at Kentucky and the Dominican national team under Cal. He was a soft jumpshooter that thought of himself as a SF or some shyt
Cal put him on the block and made him work on that weak part of his game, now he's a beast in the league. Cal has far more success stories with his big men than he does stories like Skals.
@Malta is 100% right about Towns. Forcing him to play in the post was a godsend
He also won a title with AD, so you cant really complain about the results there

I know Skal was a bust in college but literally weeks before the season started he was beasting overseas and scouts said he could be the 1st pick
In a league all about upside and potential and drafting raw players how the hell did he last till 28?

The Suns have always been a "running" team for as long as I can remember.
Just a perfect match like flies & shyt.
I guess it's a good consolation for never being able to strike on a Center
I was a lil iffy about Chriss at the start of the year, but I'm beginning to think he has All Star potential.
Unlike Amare, he actually shows flashes of developing into a monster on defense.
Amare never gave that kind of effort on D.
It was a godsend and I might be discrediting him a bit about his development, but his actual gameplans are trash and I refuse to hear otherwise. He has the best recruiting class every year and he's won once there with a guy that was a generational talent. Nah, you don't say "you can't complain about the results" when you can easily look at other teams he's lost with, particularly the 2010 and 2014 teams.

No Danny slander there, cause Zizic will be better than Skal
