Jokic would definitely go first, he’s the best player in the league and is potentially gonna remain so for the next few years. Embiid and Giannis would probably go soon enough after as players who are currently in their prime but not towards the end of it like Curry, Durant, LeBron, etc.

If teams are looking at their future as well as winning right now, Luka, SGA, Halliburton and Ant will go highly as well. Luka could probably go 2nd or 3rd.

People are not too dumb to understand the tournament concept, which actually isn’t that complex, they’re just either too lazy or too resistant to new things.

Probably not for us since we’re already paying a lot out for bigs, and the team needs a great backup point guard (preferably someone young to develop and eventually take over the reigns from Conley after this or next season) much more than a star PF (KAT already fills that role).

He’s an incredible player though, I think the Kings, Thunder or Pacers could be really fun with him on the team though. I think he’d fit really nicely with Tyrese.

So I don’t forget about this gem

It’s not like they’re on different planets, but until Shai has a couple good playoff runs I’ll have Book ahead. Both are incredible though.

Crazy game. Super sloppy from the warriors down the stretch.

Fox is fucking rapid

How many do the kings need to not lose by to clinch the group?

I feel like it’s impossible to say. Both have close playoff stats, but Murray has had more success since he’s on a better team.

Brunson puts up better regular season numbers, but he’s the #1 (or #1a vs Randle’s #1b) option on a worse team than Jamal, who’s the clear #2 on a better team.

Jamal has Jokic to feed him shots, though he can still create his own shot opportunities when he needs to. That probably isn’t tested as much as for Brunson, who has to create so many of his own shots.

Defence wise I honestly haven’t seen enough of either or paid enough attention to split the two. Jamal’s a better on ball defender, I think, but Brunson’s elite at some more niche things like drawing charges.

Keeping him in during the 4th was just bullying tbh
