Cyclones in the pros (hoops) 2020-2021
- Thread starter I-stateTheTruth
- Start date
THT's pre-season was no fluke. Barring injury he is going to be a massive problem for opponents as a crazy long combo guard or maybe even just a big point guard for quite some time.
It's kind of nuts that almost none of our recently drafted players, if any, have been busts and most would be drafted higher if you did a redraft.
THT would easily be a lottery pick in a redraft.
Monte would be a first rounder.
Tyrese would be a top five lock.
Niang might be working his way into a situation where would likely be a first rounder in a redraft.
Nader has done VERY well for his draft position and gets drafted again, probably higher.
That's five of our current 6 guys who were undervalued in the draft. The only other active guy wasn't drafted.
The Jazz won the game; THT won the battle of stats.
Georges had 2 PT in 16 MIN and Matt Thomas hit his only shot (2pt) in 2 minutes of mop-up time.

Prentiss Nixon had a good game today, scoring 40 points, pulling down seven rebounds and having nine assists in a 116-101 victory.
I've been keeping an eye on this since I noticed this stat a few weeks ago: Georges is sitting on 992 career NBA points. He should be in 4 digits in the next game or two. (In his 1st two seasons, he only combined for 30 pts).
Tyrese Haliburton continues to contribute but the Kings can't get stops and this has been his coldest scoring month of the season. He's averaging 9.7 ppg and 32% from 3pt in April, both season lows for months.
On Sunday, he had maybe his worst statistical game of the season - did anyone see that? Two other guards off the bench played more minutes than he did. The Kings got the W vs. Dallas and Ty ended with this line: 16 MIN, 3 PT, 0-2 FG,
3-4 FT and 2 AST.
Last night, they lost to the Timberwolves though Tyrese had more typical PT: 26 MIN, 2-10 FG, 2-6 3PT, 1-1 FT, 1 REB, 9 AST, and 1 STL.

My favorite cheap and quick lunch spot in LA is finally opened back up and they always have last night's laker game on the TVs. Got to see about 30-40 minutes of this one. THT is legit. Would be hard to keep him out of a lot of starting lineups around the league, will become complete player in all phases, has the tools to be there defensively too.
Only the most freakish rookies don't hit a wall at some point, even in this shortened season it's still almost 3x the games as college counting preseason, 3.5x times the games for deep playoff teams.
Good games by Niang (13 pts) and Tyrese (16 pts + 6 dimes) tonight! Matty Ice even got a few mop-up minutes (4 pts on 2-3 shooting)
Georges came out firing - 11 pts in the 1st half, including this transition pull-up to end the 1st quarter:
Last night, Georges passed the 1000-point mark in his NBA career.
Tyrese was indeed back to stuffing the stat sheet last night. An assist and a three here:
Kings win the 2nd game of the Minnesota series.
No Nader or Monte again last night due to injuries.
