Is Stephen A said it then he won’t be the top rookie of the class. Don’t take him number 1!

I can see the T-Mac comparisons but I think Dybantsa plays more like Kevin Garnett offensively.

ESPN have been talking about tanking for 3 weeks now. Its ridiculous. I want names, who is doing all this “tanking”. Point shaving is illegal. Let’s call out the cheaters. NBA tried to blame the Jazz and they won their game. Their is a Lottery system. I might be done with ESPN, too much fake drama.
