Ah, yes, the fallacy of slowing down the clock.

538 had a piece about the points per possession differential with offenses that attack in the first 10 seconds of the possession versus teams that milk the clock. It was along the lines of 1.25 to 1.1.

 

[Jarate]

KAMINSKY HOLY SHIT

 

[Cloudy]

Honestly they seem better with Okafor on the bench

 

[Sulik2]

Kamisky is eating okafor alive

 

[shem935]

All dem fouls.

 

[TraBuch]

Duke's offense runs better when Okafor's on the bench.

 

[Kevtones]

Such a bad call.

 

[Sgt.EntryEnass]

Top pick looking good

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Dirty spin move layup

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Honestly they seem better with Okafor on the bench

I was going to say the same thing.

 

[RellyRell28]

Kaminsky

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Is he humanly capable of showing emotion? His face always looks like a Picasso painting...

 

[JJDinomite]

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I played against Kaminsky in HS once. Technically I was a manager, but still.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Okafor doesn't even look like he belongs on the same floor as Kaminsky.

Duke's guards gonna have to take it.

 

[M.W.]

Dukan is straight trash. All he does is foul.

 

[Cloudy]

Winslow bailed out cos refs don't want 4 on him too lol

 

[Jarate]

Thats another questionable call

Duke is literally just running into the lane and getting all the calls

 

[Sgt.EntryEnass]

Terrible game saving call

 

[UnObtainium17]

Damn okafor that was an obvious foul


edit Wow that cant be on wisconsin..

 

[RoKKeR]

So Duke can just bash Wisco in the face and get calls for it now I guess.

 

[El_Chino]

This game has some sketchy as fuck referring.

 

[sooperkool]

Okafor is getting clowned out there

 

[RellyRell28]

Wow these refs are keeping Duke in it

 

[Slurmer]

I played against Kaminsky in HS once. Technically I was a manager, but still.

Who won?

 

[JJDinomite]

HOLY

FUCKING

SHIT

 

[Sephzilla]

That was a charge

 

[DarkFlow]

This game has some sketchy as fuck referring.

Welcome to College Basketball.

 

[DominoKid]

that's a charge like a mug lmao.

 

[TheZink]

I played against Kaminsky in HS once. Technically I was a manager, but still.

That counts

 

[NaturalHigh]

You haven't been watching.

Okafor, Winslow, Karl Anthony-Towns, and D'Angelo Russell will be contributors right away. Okafor is ridiculously skilled offensively. Winslow is very intriguing - there are times when he looks like a monster and when he looks ordinary. Karl Anthony-Towns is a pretty special offensive player in the style of LMA - he just wasn't used at Kentucky on the perimeter Think his ceiling is the highest of that group. And Russell's the best guard in this class outside of Mudiay - who played overseas.

WCS is a stud athlete, but we'll see if he can contribute enough on the other side of the ball.

I have watched most of these guys play plenty. I do not watch enough NBA to be an NBA scout or anything. You may be right that Towns, Okafor and (maybe) Russell will contribute significantly to the shitty teams they get drafted too. So I will concede that you may be right. Towns and Okafor have pretty high ceilings and as for the others; depending on their desire to work on the weak part of their game; will decide if they become top players at their position.

I guess I just don't see any of them being Top 10 players at their position in the next 5 years.

Edit:

I don't think you guys choked, I think you just got beat by the better team.

Did you see us sputter out on offense at the end of the game with shot clock violations and shoddy offense? I call that choking. Yeah, we got beat by a team that wanted to win more when it counted but you can't say any team is better than another just because they beat them once, lol.

 

[Sgt.EntryEnass]

Why shoot three's?????
The TOP NBA PICK IS ON THE BENCH

 

[BTM]

Jackson is having issues

 

[Jarate]

Jackson is so bad with the ball, turnover machine

 

[Cloudy]

Put Allen back in

 

[TraBuch]

Put Grayson Allen back in the fucking game. Every single minute of PT that Matt Jones has gotten this year should've gone to Allen.

 

[BTM]

Fucking lol

 

[jmizzal]

Its getting chippy lol

Put Grayson Allen back in the fucking game. Every single minute of PT that Matt Jones has gotten this year should've gone to Allen.

Yea Coach K need to stop hiding him

 

[M.W.]

Dukan...smh

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Who won?

We got destroyed if I remember. But I think Frank was in foul trouble most of the game.

 

[Sgt.EntryEnass]

Player of the year vs NOT Okafor

Wtf do u do????

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Put Grayson Allen back in the fucking game. Every single minute of PT that Matt Jones has gotten this year should've gone to Allen.

Duke is saving Allen for the end so he can be the hero.

 

[Heisenberg]

Put Grayson Allen back in the fucking game. Every single minute of PT that Matt Jones has gotten this year should've gone to Allen.

Nah, he was huge against the Zags. lol

 

[RellyRell28]

*sigh*

 

[Elfforkusu]

lmao @ that charge call. Is there a sniper in the arena?

Player of the year vs NOT Okafor

Wtf do u do????

Their backup has guarded a hell of a lot better than Okafor's matador defense.

 

[Jarate]

Dukan and Jackson just kill the offense when they are in, they just arent good enough to be at this level

 

[Sulik2]

Another charge. Yeesh.

 

[reKon]

Thats another questionable call

Duke is literally just running into the lane and getting all the calls

Hmmmmm reminds of a recent game that Duke played.

 

[JJDinomite]

Sooooo, that Kentucky fan that thinks Wisconsin was getting great calls...

 

[Sephzilla]

Refs are keeping Duke in this game
