“I think Filipowski has a long career as an eighth or ninth guy,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “If he starts firing threes and knocking them down like Kelly Olynyk, I think that makes him more intriguing. Otherwise, if he’s a lone five that can’t shoot, has to play in the drop, and isn’t athletic, he’s going to be out of the league pretty fast.” “Filipowski and Olynyk are both near 7-footers and have various skills,” another NBA executed said. “Even though they’re bigs, they can pass and dribble a little bit and can shoot.”

“Clingan can potentially be a player like Ivica Zubac where if he puts on a lot of strength and muscle, it’ll be hard to score at the rim on him,” another NBA executive told HoopsHype. “You see a little bit of it with Walker Kessler, who’s a more athletic specimen. Clingan can still be somewhat of a lob threat and put pressure on the rim. There’s stuff there with him on both ends that can be impactful. He moves relatively well going north to south. If he puts a hand out there on defense, I think... Читать дальше...

Eventually, Markelle Fultz began to wonder if he would get back to the same level of performance again. “There was definitely days where I thought, ‘Am I ever going to be able to shoot the same?’” Fultz says. “But my mindset wasn’t to quit. My mindset was like, ‘What can I do?’ I actually had moments of thinking, like, ‘All right, if this happens, I would just play left-handed. I’d work on my left hand extremely hard to make it the way I wanted it to be, but it was never an option of quitting. Читать дальше...

LeBron James on Jayson Tatum: “He’s 25 years old, and I believe he has been to the conference finals four times and to the NBA finals once. He’s 25. I didn’t win my first one until I was 28. I think Nikola Jokic won his first one at 27. I think Michael Jordan was 28 as well… I think we have a lot of expectations on JT, but he’s experienced a lot of winning in his career so far. And obviously, everyone wants to see him get over the hump, but four conference finals and a finals appearance before the age of 26 is elite.”

Reporter: “Obviously, you hold yourself to a super high standard. I would imagine you’d probably want to play better these last few games, but how much do you look internal when it comes to these types of things? And also at the totality of just overall team performance?” Haliburton: “I play better, we win, so I’m just trying to figure it out right now. Obviously it’s frustrating, I never went through a slump like this in my life. But it’s all part of it, figuring it out. It sucks, everybody’s got the answer... Читать дальше...
