Barerra 2.0 baby!
You may say it’s only been 5 or 6 games, it he has been doing it against two or three of the best teams in the league! One of the best things coach did was put him in as a starter and he did that over Brandon Williams and D Lo! I’ve been watching basketball for a long time and I have without a shadow of doubt that this kid is the real deal! I’m starting to question what we will do when Kyrie comes back! I know Ryan will back him up but what about Brandon and D Lo? We will all of a sudden have a bunch of guards! It’s nice to have depth, but one of those guys need to put in a trade package !
"trade AD now!!" Idiots 😂😂😂😂😂
Getting Washington back is huge and Gafford should be ready to go Friday. The opportunity to get to .500 is there. Please stay healthy.
It's time to trade ad while he's actually healthy
Being under 6ft and a senior you’re gonna get alot of guys drafted over you that can’t play but just seemingly have more upside . I always worry about a player his size on defense but both Nembhard brothers are dawgs so I think he can be at least not a major weakness on that end . If that’s the case he’s definitely a 1st round pick worthy player . I think he’ll be in the league a long time as at least a Tyus Jones level back up .
He is a first round pick. The only reason why he wasn't drafted is his height. The NBA is becoming a league where you will need to be 6'5" or taller to play in it. If this was the 80s or 90s, he would have gone top 10. He is a good player.
YOU SUCK YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CELEBRATE
NICO WAS ALWAYS RIGHT ✅️
FAKE MEDIA FANS SUCK
Lol no duh.. he’s playing like more than a lottery pick .. he’s playing like a seasoned vet who was a high lottery pick..
The draft is mainly about athleticism and upside.
An undersized guard has an uphill battle in this league. Even if the kid is a stud on offense, the question will always remain whether he can defend. Trae Young gets hunted during the playoffs, and he's 2 inches taller.
The Maverick’s depth at PG is the best in the league with Kyrie, Nems, and B-Will
Where would Nembhard go in a redraft?
