My source who have been pretty legit in the past is giving me words that Lavine will be the pick at no9. And, yes we will keep the pick. Lavine supposedly blew the hat off MJ's head. Will be drafted as a PG.

 

I echo above Chuck haha.  I wouldn't be mad though..as Bill Simmons would call him, he could be our Zero Guard.  

 

I think him or Smart could be the pick.  Our Stauskas..or Young.  One of those 4 imo.

This kid could be a beast.  I only watched one of their NCAA tourney games and he looked freakish for an 18 year old. 

 

 

would not be mad

Dammit I still want Marcus Smart.  Dude is gonna be a steal if he drops out of the top 5, I just dont see any way he falls all the way to 9

 

On a side note, why is everyone so high on Exum?  I've only seen him on youtube vids (and hadnt even watched many of those before today), but man that guy looks raw.  His competition in Australia is straight up awful, it looks like hes been playing high school JV teams for the last year

Look what he did to Payton at 1:23.

Struggled vs. the more physical Smart.

A fan of Smart too. But, looked bad during Lakers workout (previous page: workout with Lavine and Vonleh). Not going to take that into consideration tho, but was pretty bad.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.

      Reminder: A team lead by Matt Rhule/Steve Wilks got us this result…..

      well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn.

      JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
