    If he can focus on rebounding and defense, his offensive inconsistency becomes more tolerable. He's athletic enough to be an effective individual and team defender.

    He's just dumb in the main brain , left a 3pt shooter open , commited a TO then fouled 80 feet away from his basket when WASH was in the penalty

    I doubt Magic would hesitate to trade Ball if it meant getting a legit superstar and franchise player like Paul George.

    Yeah or we don't end up with Paul George. If he makes one of those All NBA teams he's eligible for that max extension. You think he's passing up all that money? Doubt it.

    Didn't watch the game because they've been awful and I don't like wasting my time, but his stat line is another stinker. Trade filler. etc etc

    Alright I rewatched part of the game. What I'm seeing is an oval peg in a round round. He's juuuust starting to do the offensive things that Draymond can do: space a little, move the ball well, and get his shot occasionally. BUT Draymond makes his name on the other side of the floor and Julius can't even write his name on that side of the floor. Julius, just like every other kid, is still learning, but I wonder (*cough*doubt*cough*) if he ever learns fast enough to be what we need.

    For the fifty-leventh time: Indiana and Myles Turner look like such a great fit.

    So I need to correct an earlier post of mine.

    "I understand having an occasional night off, but it shouldn't be that if he explodes one game I EXPECT 2-7 for the next two nights."

    Randle in one stretch late in the game last night did the following:

    1) Mishandled a pass from Russell where had he caught it was right next to the hoop
    2) Because he mishandled the pass it led to a turnover
    3) But instead of a turnover, JC got the ball back and gave it back to Randle for the basket
    4) Randle missed the hook shot
    5) Wizards got the rebound and Randle fouled the guy trying to make up for his mishaps
    6) Wizards where in the Bonus so the foul by Randle costs us two pts because they made both FTs

    My goodness (shake my head).

    I vote that juggernaut should be removed from the title or spelled correctly. Jugger-not.
