Welcome to Hoop Tetris…
The weekly rapid-fire brainteasers where various members of our panel answer topical, or completely random questions
…
Mavs or Wolves, who you got?
Rio: Mavs in 7. What’s up with Luka’s bleeding knee btw?
Jin: A very convincing Mavs sweep to be witnessed! Kyrie and Luka showing to be one of the best back court duos.
EC: Wolves comeback. Ant goes from Dillon Brooks to Demon Ant. They play better away anyway.
How do you fix the Suns?
Rio: CP3 reunion? Lol. Truthfully not sure. I think they should run it back with the same squad under Coach Bud. Also James Jones can you stop splitting second round picks like Horcruxes. And don’t trade the 22nd pick this year. There’s a bunch of undervalued seniors in this draft.
Jin: Hardest team to fix along with a few others such as the Nets. Biggest problem they’re facing is the lack of a true point. Go and find yourself a reliable point, and run it back.
EC: Nurk is fine. Unless you can get a 2-way point guard in return (who probably isn’t available in the draft), keep him. Then pray everyone stays healthy.
Give a hot take prediction for the draft.
Rio: Nets or Griz move up to 3 in a trade with the Rockets. Also Dillingham falls.
Jin: A lot of noise regarding Zaccharie Risacher value skyrocketing? Landry Fields watching Risacher? Is Risacher the overall number one pick? Yes.
EC: Washington swings for the fences. Cody maybe!?
Make a wish for your team.
Rio: Retrieve our firsts from Spurs by any means necessary and draft Reed.
Jin: As much as Jalen Green showed some sparks of a superstar, his inconsistency is too prominent to build a team around him. Build around Sengun, trade Green when his value is high at the moment for a solid wing.
EC: Bossman Riley ships out Herro and picks for a bonafide star. Or we sign Paul George.
TIL…
Rio: That you could implant somebody else’s meniscus. Come back healthy, Zo.
Jin: Phoenix Suns will conduct a work out with Bronny. Now what in the world is Phoenix planning?
EC: Bron uses Stream East
