Stanley with a career high 26 vs. the Cavs.
I caught a good bit of the game on TNT. Stanley looked really confident. I hope this is a step forward in solving the shooting issues he's struggled with all year. He did a good job on LeBron too.

I really dont like his fit next to Blake and Drummond.

Arrests without convictions are not a problem, and I think convictions are ok as long as they were a certain number of years in the past and you’ve been clean ever since.

Lauri with a quick 5 points in the Rising Star game. Maybe he can get enough shots to win MVP.

Looks like Stanley had a pretty decent February: 11.5 ppg on 43% shooting, 32.5% from 3, 3.6 boards, 1.8 assists and 1 steal.

Better than the way he started. His 3 point percentage needs to rise, but he's looked better since the Griffin deal.

Aaron Gordon averaged 20 & 10 in back-to-back wins that snapped a long Orlando losing streak.

Not gonna lie, I wish he had been traded at the deadline to a contender. Feel like he’d break out in the playoffs.

I don't need to be told that Ayton and Gordon are both PF's. I'd take that team vs anyone. I did think hard about taking TJ and pocketing the 2 bucks, but I couldn't ignore the firepower.

Edit: I don't know why anyone wouldn't take Gilbert. He's an unreal value for a buck.

Gardner
Arenas
Elliot
Hill
Williams


Gardner my all time favorite. When I think of Arizona Basketball, Gardner and McConnell are the first names I think of. Just joined this board a week or so ago. Been an Arizona Wildcats fan since 89, watching the Cats win it all in 97 was the greatest sports event in my life, I'm a huge 49ers fan and all those Superbowl wins didn't mean as much to me as 1997. Its nice to be here! Oh and thats the last time I mention the 49ers on this board lol

Agree its BS we cant make Ayton a center though. If we could, Ayton (5), Gordon (1), Elliott (5), Stoudamire (3), Arenas (1)

That's my exact lineup, in not pretending a 7'1 265 pound dude can't hold down the middle. I think you can get by with 2 PF's.

Was wondering why he didn't play against the Kings yesterday. He is sitting again due to a concussion on Mar 7. Second concussion this season, 3rd in the past 23 months. Man, that's tough.

I wish him all the best and thank him for his career, but, you know, I really don't expect to ever see Alonzo Trier mentioned in this thread, to be honest. Boy did he really tank the last half or more of this season. And talk about soft.
