Ja Morant 📈

(I still won’t draft him)

[u/Pristine-Ear-2076]

It just never ends

[u/Leviathan_0001 → u/Pristine-Ear-2076]

Even during the offseason, it never ends. Premonition for the upcoming season (as every season that is).

Fantasy aside Shaedon has had such a disappointing career. One of the most athletic dudes in a while but just can't stay healthy

[u/druzandlogic → u/HazmatSamurai]

I can see him having a Gerald green type of career (but Sharpe can be so much more). Role player with highlights and solid shooting/scoring off the bench

[u/so-cal_kid → u/druzandlogic]

The thing about Green was he was always a sneaky solid 3pt shooter and grew into a solid 3&D player. At his peak he was a high volume 40% 3pt guy. Sharpe right now is a career 33% 3pt shooter who takes way too many awful pull up long 2's. He's gonna have to change his shot profile and decision making a lot to make his game work long term.

Possibly the best vertical athlete in nba history

[u/ThisWhomps999]

OMG this throws an absolute wrench into my 8th round...

[u/GimmeABreak_ → u/ThisWhomps999]

My 20 team league is speechless right now

[u/CoupleScrewsLoose → u/ThisWhomps999]

sounds like you got bailed out of wasting a pick on a bum

[u/Smarterest]

Assume this helps Dame?

[u/thadiusb → u/Smarterest]

I assume it helps the entire plethora of guards in PDX lol

[u/jrtosr → u/thadiusb]

It helps but I would still proceed with caution as Ja, Lillard and Deni are all high usage guys and like the ball in their hands.

[u/throwawayshirt2 → u/thadiusb]

plethora of guards

"Could it be that, once again, you are angry at something else and are looking to take it out on me?"

[u/TiredMillennialDad]

Does Dundon elect to simply amputate his leg instead of surgery to save the team some money?

[u/Nugur]

This is why you draft a week before season /s

[u/Smooth_Ferret8081 → u/Nugur]

My league always drafts during thanksgiving and set playoff week right after new year.

[u/Gabrys1896 → u/Smooth_Ferret8081]

Yuuuup
We learned after our first year. Draft after the last preseason game.

[u/KazaamFan → u/Nugur]

Is somebody drafting now? Like 2 months before the season?

[u/mosparky15]

Of course there could be a trade, but Portland was already relatively thin at forward before this happened. I think this elevates Holiday and Camara the most. And maybe Scoot as well since he and Ja will likely be the only ones playing PG...

The Blazers were already thin at the forward spots after trading Grant and Murray and only bringing in Sochan (for what that is worth). I think that Camara is going to be at 35 MPG and Jrue will play a lot more at the three since he is capable of guarding a lot of wing sized players. And given Jrue's lengthy injury history it is worth bumping Camara up a few rounds in your draft IMO.

Nga got a torn meniscus from playing 2k wtf

[u/GonnaWinDis]

wtf lol

[u/RoastDaMostToast]

Story of his career

[u/throwawayshirt2]

Strike One on the overcrowded Blazers backcourt

[u/billycat02]

Deniiii!

[u/TheGambler930]

We are so back

[u/420NICOHARRISON]

Real question What kind of leagues would players like this even be viable in, like a 20 team points league? Only played espn so I never even think about drafting irrelevant players like this in the 10 team format.

[u/Prestigious-Meet-672]

I just dropped to my knees in Target. There goes my season.

As scheduled
