It's also ironic that in your post that starts with "true fact"
You post things that are not facts. Trent plaisted never won player of the year.

"undoubtedly push Davis to raise his overall game" Joke of the day!

Hot Take: If Kyle Davis were black, we'd be drooling all over his potential.

Why would you even post this? Nobody is drooling over Jamaal Aytes.

Yeah, but Aytes can't crack the lineup let alone avg. 12 pts and 7.5 boards ppg.
