NBA One Guy (the East!), a Man City Punishment Primer, and Tom Cruise’s Bomb

BillNembhard on the Pacers Vassell, Kobe White, Zubats these are like proven really good I'm not one of the two best players on your team but I'm right underneath and they're paying him like that and as talented as he is

BillI don't know if he has it or not like I just don't I don't know yet and I think anyone who says oh we definitely know from that 19 game stretch I don't think you can say it I don't know how it's going to play out so where do you stand?

BillI mean he's definitely going to take a hit in terms of the organic, just cutting style of just flying around Jokic that comes with playing with him. It's a little bit different playing in such a heavy, heavy ball screen situation. And you're playing with two guys who are rough spacing bigs, I think you could argue at this point, Jared Allen and Mobley.

So that'll be different too. But I mean, the catch and shoot stuff with him, his shooting has really, really improved. He was almost 40, 45 % last year on his catch and shoots. So I think he'll be able to serve that role. It's just kind of, he's going to have to be hyper -efficient, I think, to justify the payment that he got for, you know, based on, he has a lot of kind of upside ambition.

I don't know if this is like a Jeremy Grant thing where he's going to pursue that and pursue that, and then we're just kind of, and then we're like, eh, I think you're probably better over in this box. We might be on that path. But it'll be interesting to see how he responds to being a little bit in tighter kind of parameters, I think, as opposed to whose spacing wise was he working around in Denver that was really somebody

Billto move around. I mean, Aaron Gordon, Aaron Gordon's become a pretty good shooter over time. So this will definitely be a much different space spacing challenge for him in Cleveland. I feel like it's either going to go awesome or it's going to be really rocky and awkward for the first month.

Billand you could give me either.
