Week 2 Random Thoughts

• The 3-headed center model in Golden is disappointing so far – Sharpe, CMB and Beringer is not good enough
• Ajay Mitchell surely can’t keep this up
• How about Yaxel? Can he be ROY?
• Sabonis has been amazing. But will any NBA team trade for that contract?  Sabonis once went for $76. This is a bargain price
• What’s up with Gobert? Atrocious start.
• Draymond is washed.
• Derik Queen is fun. Wish he played more.
• Kuminga off to a hot start. His ATO is 15:1?
• Josh Giddey is ice cold.
• Surely Okongwu, Reed, Buzelis, and Braun can be better than this
• Cooper is the real deal.
• Is this a high-water mark for Ham?
• Cedric Coward, hellooo. Not sure he’ll shoot 73% from deep though.
• Nice shooting Toumani
• Acuff’s shooting is something else
• Brussels found a gem in Trevon Brazile
• Boozer averaging 15 and 10 while shooting 28/26.  Watch out when the shots start to fall
• Brussels has LaMelo on his roster?  Doesn’t look right.
• Big Maple ramping up slowly
• Wemby being Wemby
• I loved Zubac coming into the auction. Injuries suck.
• Andrew Wiggins – what are you doing.
• Same for you Miles.
• And Rui, everyone’s deep sleeper, all you had to do was hit your shots. 26% and 31% is not what we had in mind
• Everything is rosy in the Wack
• The big 4 are all that and a bag of chips
• Timelord (and all Blazers) have been amazing
• My Precious – what a start.
• So Risacher is a stocks guy now?
• I’ve always been a big fan of Matisse. He just needed more minutes and to stay healthy
• Dayton off to a near perfect start
• Ty Jerome for All-NBA – can he keep it up
• Paul Reed and Jalen Smith – what a duo
• KAT’s been the only good Knick
• Poeltl is done.
• The Kawhi injury puts a dent in French’s momentum
• Love Kyshawn
• Desmond Bane? What are you doing? We know the shooting will come around
• Mikal Bridges – maybe take a night off – see if that helps. 5ppg and shooting 27/25
• Embiid is playing 36 minutes a night
• Vooch is washed
• PG13 rejuvenated in Boston
• Franz has yet another chance to be the guy in Orlando. Yet we know how this will go
• Auto-draft Juan working out as expected. But the names are good.
• Juan de Fuca Blazers is working out though (Avdija, Morant, Lillard)
• RJ and Walter are his usual Raptors
• James Harden off to a slow start shooting 33/29
• Tyler Herro and Zach LaVine can still play
• Ace Bailey is a pleasant surprise considering all the names in Utah
• Laura has been very disappointing so far
• Losing Antman is a crusher for the Doctor
• Has Wendell Carter ever played this well?
• Somehow, we still want more from SGA
• Kel’el Ware, that’s not good enough for your price tag (see CMB, Poeltl, and others)
• Trey Murphy where are you?
• OG?  Calling all Knicks not named KAT to step up their game
• The Moose and Jabari are fun
• So Zion is a shooting guard for rebounding, a steals monster, and shoots like a 7’0 center. Got it.
• Is the Mobley breakout happening? 18 and 8 is currently 20 and 10.

Final thought – injuries are a killer!
