I wanted the Rams to take a look at Clowney, but they didn't. They didn't address edge or DT in free agency yet (and the pickings are slim). On to the draft....!
I don't know, they got a cheaper and arguably more productive short term option, a 2024 2nd and a 2025 5th in the exchange. I think they did fine personally. Evero is the Panthers DC and no slouch himself.
Burns is essentially a 50 tackle, 10 sack guy per 17 games
Clowney is a 50 tackle, but...
...and I can see you don't watch outside of your Knicks games. Everyone knows Brunson, he's been a story since his last year in Dallas.
Tyus Jones: 12ppg on 10 shots per game in 29.3 min, 48.9/41.4/80 shooting, 2.7 reb, 7.3 ast, 0.3 blk, 1.1 stl, 0.7 PF, 1.0 TO
Brunson: 27.4ppg on 20.5 shots...
However, when players fall into your lap...? I would expect trade down offers in the 1st (and likely the 2nd) in this scenario, but the ones on the site were terrible. So I took value when it presented itself, keeping needs also in mind of course.
19. Quinyon Mitchell, lCB Toledo
52. Michael...
Definition of hot/cold fan lol
Stat-wise, Brunson is basically Tyus Jones with twice as many shot attempts (except Tyus has twice as many double doubles). Of course, different pressure/importance in NY...
Taking one early implies big minutes now, which doesn't seem to be an option unless White isn't ready. I'm sure they'll add a CB at some point in the draft; DB depth is always important (and a part of special teams).
Those same defenders still throw shoulders and launch head first to make big hits instead of tackling. Hip drop tackles are just another example of lazy mechanics.
Lakers seemingly make a role player into a superstar every game. Tonight's winner, Jake LaRavia. 25% from 3 coming in, goes 7-9 from 3 for 25 pts in 32 minutes. Should change his name to LaRabia if you know what I mean... :heh:
48 minutes last night and heavy usage late. Just couldn't get it going last night.
The team is still sloppy with turnovers and giving up offensive rebounds. Really need to cinch those up before the playoffs.
Always some opponent to step up and have a career game because of the Lakers drop coverage at the 3 point line. Tonight, it was LaRavia. 25% from 3 coming in, shoots 7-9 from 3 for 25 pts in 32 minutes. Lakers could really (really really) use Vando back to help defensively and rebounding...
Can get better players when you can pull those later picks earlier lol. Don't know how realistic that is (and I didn't propose any of the trades, just took the ones I thought were appropriate). The positioning in these mocks changes week to week, tough to know what to expect.
Could be. There should be a good option for them regardless, whether its one of the top 2 DT, one of the top 3 Edge, or one of the LT. They could go CB I guess, but would seem a bit of overkill given the recent White signing. There is always the threat of McVay stumping for an offensive...
Aren't they already set? Darious Williams & Tre'Davious White (will he be ready week 1?) will be the starters outside. They could use a FS, but are they just waiting to sign Johnny Johnson? He seems like a foregone conclusion to return. They still have Durant or Tomlinson to play the slot...
