    Bol Bol is the 7'2" son of Manute Bol. He's a fascinating prospect.

    Talking this early about Tanking in the Optimism thread, should never be considered Optimistic. (gulp)

    It was sarcasm. I even said it in my post.

    Both of them are fascinating. I also really like Cam Reddish and I love Nassir Little and Daniel Gafford. Rui Hachimura is interesting.

    I think Fox is playing very good basketball, and I don’t want to downplay anyone’s accomplishments, but I’m going to. Stats are insanely inflated this season. Guys are breaking records left and right, you can’t look at a guy wrong or they shoot free throws. The Kings scored 146 points last night, that is not normal, this is one of the strangest seasons I’ve ever seen, even this early on.

    I don't like it. Adam Silver is single handedly ruining the NBA. There I said it.

    I won't take that game from the kid. Lonzo put up a similar game a year ago with 29/11/9 which we all thought was the bee's knees. Fox did 35/15/10 with wild efficiency, it was the game of his life.

    But like I said: that was the first time Fox has had 31 points in a game, the first time he's had 15 assists in a game, and the first time he's had 10 rebounds in a game and he did it all on one night. That was the best game of basketball he's probably ever played!

    If Fox is able to sustain his 19/4.6/7.8 pace for the full season, I'll eat all my crow.

    I will say he's not garbage. Although in my defense I said that with purple and gold glasses on because I'm sick of people fawning over Fox and hating on Ball when Ball put up a pretty similar stat line over a year ago.

    I wanted to trade down for fox. Just sayin'.

    Wait. This is the optimism thread--we should have another late 1st this year, which aren't saddled with expectations.

    Nope.

    Didn't get me. After all the trade deadlines and free agencies I've been in I'm used to this kind of fake news.

    Be Better @sirronstuff haha
