Does watching shaky handle Tatum and Brown make you rethink the long term projections of guys that "just need to tighten up their handle"

Because they both improved a lot, but this league exposes all weakness over time

No because if any of these guys end up in Tatum or Browns tier than that is a fantastic number 1 pick.

Feels like the Knicks are giving up on the Ivey pursuit. It was a long shot anyway but with Indiana, Detroit and OKC hot on his trail it’s not happening.

I hope Griffin does fall.

The Knicks staying put after weeks of doing their "due diligence" and being the "shrewd" front office they are, "exploring all options", but ultimately being unable to find a move that "makes sense"?

I am shocked. Absolutely shocked.

What would the Wizards have to give to Sacramento to get that #4 pick?

Yup. This and shooting, although I'd say shooting is more difficult.

Playoff basketball exposes players who simply are not natural shooters or natural dribblers.

Players can work on their shooting if it wasn't really much of a strength and get it to the point where it looks somewhat reliable.

However, come playoff time, those are the players the other teams want to take shots vs the natural shooters.

It's exactly what the Warriors did to the Mavs: they let Bullock take those three pointers while blanketing Finney-Smith.
