Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

Dreaming of having TH a year or two with TJ’s first teams! He clearly made the right choice though.
Doncic is definitely the easy #1 on the list and in some ways arrived as one of the most polished young players to ever enter the league. I don't know that it's an automatic slam dunk Edwards and Wemby are better. Edwards is a physical beast but I'm not sure he has more overall impact. Wemby's ceiling is something we've never seen but we just don't know yet. I could see putting Tyrese #3.
Tyrese's advanced stat numbers are insane. He's #7 in NBA in PER early this year.
Edwards vs Tyrese early this year, too early to throw in Wemby I think
24ppg, 11.7apg, 3.7rpg, 1spg, .7bpg, 49%FG, 40% 3pt, 93%ft
28.2ppg, 4.8apg, 6.7rpg, .8spg, 0bpg, 52%fg, 47% 3pt, 87%ft
It's crazy that as a similar player in the same draft LaMello ended up legit yet still not producing at Hali's level. If you did that draft over Edwards is still #1. Tyrese moves into #2 and LaMello stays #3.
It's very early for both careers but Wemby and Holmgren's stats are almost identical so far.
Tyrese went from 0 points to 14 points all in the 3rd quarter. The ball moves at light speed with him running things. Another 10+ assist night already.

Thought Police
Yeah, a lot of courts are sections, and with the kind of money in the NBA, it would probably be cheaper and more effective to just buy three separate courts and assemble/disassemble when they want to change out.
Ho hum. 29/6/10 in a come-from-behind win over the Bucks. And the go-ahead bucket.
I think if he stays healthy this year they make the playoffs and maybe even avoid those play in spots. They were at home but winning through a 54 point game from Gianis where he barely missed a shot is no small thing.
Was watching, I think he had a steal in the final 3 as well. That last 3 in the video was a dagger.
With Tyrese’s backcourt partner Mathurin looking like a future All-Star, I’m excited to see how the Pacers develop over the next couple years - at this point I’m optimistic that they’ll be legit contenders in the East very soon (especially since most of those current top teams are led by aging vets)
The Gonzaga kid looks legit too. Has to be one of the best young back courts.
Top offensive team in the NBA so far is ... the Pacers. This article calls this the #2 surprise story in the league so far. Here's what they wrote about a certain former Cyclone:
Head coach Rick Carlisle's supercharged offense is led by dynamic point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who's averaging 24 points and a league-leading 11.6 assists per game, while shooting 40% from 3-point range. He brings a contagious energy, and also has a penchant for clutch buckets.
Calling the scoring-challenged LA team the "Slowtime Lakers" is comedic gold, BTW.

The Cavs continue to struggle and Georges has had a rough start to the season. He finally had a better shooting game in last night's loss to Sacramento, with 5-7 / 2-4 shooting and 12 points in 22 minutes.
His season averages are now 34%FG / 27% 3PT. Hopefully, those numbers will continue on the upswing.

"With Tyrese Haliburton, All Things Are Possible"
The NBA’s assists leader is transforming Indiana’s style, culture, and future—one hit-ahead outlet pass at a time. Is it enough to attract other stars to the small-market Pacers? "They know that I can help bring people here," Haliburton says, "not only with who I am as a basketball player, but...

Feel for him a bit. This is team #4 in 8 seasons. He’s given his heart to the city/fans in each stop. At some point that gets difficult to keep up that type of energy.
Confirmation that George Conditt DID sign with Portland's G League team, the tragically named Rip City Remix.
The Remix beat the South Bay Lakers 114-110 last night and George had 15 PT, 32 MIN, 6-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-4 FG, 13 REB and 2 BLK.
Good for big George!
