Who would you rather lead you for THIS specific NBA season, Who is the better basketball player Anthony Davis or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Current Stats:

AD 32/12/3/2/2 on 65% TS

SGA: 27/7/6/2/1 on 56% TS

So the last couple of years they've only tanked after the deadline and until then seemed to be in the middle on whether to compete or not

If you wanted to speed up the timeline that's one thing but now they're tanking anyway

Why push the timeline back like that?

Question for NBA experts. I am a fresh NBA European follower who is getting mad about it.

One thing which I cannot answer by myself is why Bulls are struggling so much in being a contender (even the Knicks are doing it!!!!). They have a huge legacy and brand recognition thanks to MJ and it’s a pity that no one has still brought the business back to Chicago.

Looking forward to being helped in answering this question.

Thanks

I don't get to watch as many nba games as I'd like to, and really enjoyed Zach's podcast and perspective on the league. I listen to Simmons but prefer a more analytical/ X's and O's podcast experience.

What are some of your favorite NBA pods and what have fellow Lowe Post enthusiasts been listening to this season?

I've recently been fascinated with the concept of "league average" in the most complete sense of the term. So I asked chatGPT to determine who was the most "average" player at each position and here was the output. (for last season)

Updated Most Average Players by Position

1. Point Guard: Monte Morris (Washington Wizards)
   • Stats: Approximately 11 PPG, 4 APG, around 55 TS%.
2. Shooting Guard: Kevin Huerter (Sacramento Kings)
   • Stats: Averaging around 11 PPG, close to league average shooting efficiency.
3. Small Forward: Sadiq Bey (Atlanta Hawks)
   • Stats: About 10 PPG, contributing average rebounding and efficiency.
4. Power Forward: Bobby Portis (Milwaukee Bucks)
   • Stats: Approximately 11 PPG and 7 RPG, consistent without exceptional peaks.
5. Center: Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors)

   • Stats: Near 10 PPG and 8 RPG, providing solid contributions.

This selection focuses on players who more closely reflect average performance across various metrics without exceeding average thresholds​.

So I'm curious, how much you agree with this...or who would you replace?

It's supposed to be the ideal scenario, win when your superstar is early in their prime and under contract. Just like BOS just did with Tatum and Brown.

What happened and what do MLK and DEN do next + now?

Jokic is having once again an MVP caliber season but things don't look good. What kind of realistic trades can they make to improve their roster?

Air Canada is joining forces with Vince Carter to celebrate his career as the Toronto Raptors prepare to retire his jersey tomorrow evening. Adding to the excitement, Air Canada has unveiled a special Vince Carter livery in honour of his impact on basketball in Canada. The livery will fly high until end of April 2025, proudly featuring Carter's silhouette, signature, and jersey number. The aircraft undercarriage will also bear Carter's name and number, so fans can spot the plane as it soars over the country he helped catapult onto basketball's global stage.

Can somebody help me out with these two questions?!

Who is the lowest draft pick to make the HOF?

Who is the lowest draft pick to make multiple (two or more) All-Star games?
