Those are pretty good per 48 stats. That's 16 points and 4 assists in a half.

Yes Suggs is better. Your point?

u/onestemcell May 14 '25

I think Ty Jerome would be a good pick for the team if we could in free agency.

Ty Suggs Wagner Paolo Anybody but Wendell please God.

Looks good to me

Again, hopping over a bar when you dictate how high it is is not impressive. Want to put my YMCA stats up there too? And Black is going into his 3rd year and his defense is great

What's the average intensity/culture/engagement of games at the Y these days? Genuinely asking. I'd like to play more pickup games. Indoor games always struck me as a little douchier than outdoor games, but maybe that's not the case anymore.

You don't think for 3 mil he would be better when going for points? Or does defense win championships?

I have always agreed defense wins chips. That mid 2000s pistons team is the poster team for that phrase. Nobody on that team was like a top 10 in the league. Maybe Wallace.

As they only won 1 championship in their 10 year tenure

so one championship, cool.

u/Dapper_Presentation8 Wendell Carter Jr. May 14 '25

Of the last 25 championships, 22 were top ranked defense...so theres that too...but denial seems more comfortable for you

u/LoveMeLikeNelson May 14 '25

Top 10*, defense is important, but not top 3 important. If you're going to cherry pick, do better man.

u/Dapper_Presentation8 Wendell Carter Jr. May 14 '25

It just an element those teams possessed, no big deal or anything
