Very sad news. Caleb Swanigan dead at 25 yrs old.
Natural causes at 25 is pretty uncommon. Not impossible he could've had a stroke, undiagnosed heart condition, or other condition, but definitely something you don't see every day in a highly trained athlete, even near seven-footers.
Yea it was surprising and sad to hear that as a cause. He has had weight issues in the past, wonder if he ballooned since leaving the Blazers?
Curry's size and defensive liabilities are the biggest reason I can see leaving him outside (no pun intended) the top 10.. But I also think you can make an argument that offensively, because of the way the game is played today, he's as impactful as any player on this list with the exception of Jordan. And what makes him most unique among this particular group is he can score with the ball going 94 feet, off the dribble as well in the half-court, and off the ball running all day around screens. His endurance is remarkable and he also changes the geometry of the floor unlike these other guys. Because of his presence guys get much easier opportunities. No one can score on this list with the variety of shots or spots on the court like Curry. And he also has that sweet tommy-gun release and "you must be joking" range combined with a myriad of floaters. He's the most skilled overall offensive player I've ever seen and this "best shooter" narrative is frankly underselling his greatness.
The more I hear about Keegan Murray the more I'm thinking he will be a much better player than Davis. He may be the best player in this draft right now.
No. He should go 5-6 which is where he belongs. Will be a solid NBA player for a long time - maybe a comparable career to a guy like Al Horford.
He's really smooth Jockey. And can play multiple positions. I think he could be sort of like Mikail Bridges defensively. He also by all accounts is a tremendous young man off the floor. I'm not saying he has the highest upside in the draft but I think he's ready to play now. Holmgren clearly has the most upside but imo he's the greatest risk. I have really no idea what to make of Smith because I probably saw him twice.
Who are the Bucks targeting?
Joey Hauser
LOL.They could use a back-up PG and Allen was brutal vs Boston.
Whoever they draft will almost certainly make little to no impact
I would hope Liddell if he’s available- otherwise see Rico’s comment. I don’t wanna see some 19 year old project.
Actually, thats exactly who the Bucks should be looking at. They need an impact vet contributor in the offseason, but going into 23-23, Portis, Lopez, Connaughton, and Hill all come off the books. If they can get a decent young prospect (not another DJ Wilson), they can bring him along slower and have him be ready to contribute without the cap hit of a veteran. Thats what the Warriors did with Jordan Poole. Hell, they had 2 top 15 picks playing spot minutes this year, not including Wiseman.
That might be a good strategy for some teams ands has been successful for some, as well.But as long as Bud is coach, it's a bad idea for milwaukee. He likes vets and does not have a history of developing players.
Kyrie to the Bucks?
Says who? And for what?
t read a few silly rumors. I think it would be insane to offer either Holiday or Middleton for him. You can't trust that guy. Apparently in 2017 the Bucks offered Brogdan and Middleton for Kyrie.
It would be absurd. The Bucks would’ve repeated had Middleton stayed healthy. Stay the course, add a solid offensive wing or backup point guard with the MLE, and rely on the best player in the world putting you in a spot to win a title again.Only moves I’d make if I were the Bucks would be if you can package Grayson and 24 (and Hill if needed for salary purposes) to upgrade the starting 2/3. If you can package that for Harrison Barnes I’m all for it. But I see no trades you can make worth giving up Middleton or Jrue.
