Didn't choose, these are the 3rd ranked average ranks by SofaScore, won't disclose the grades to not influence the ranking

I've been thinking about my favorite role players, which I update every year:

Horford
Hart
Caruso
GP II
White

reply

I love it! Supporting players are my jam.

RIP Al Horford

Where the hell is Caruso?

  1. Mobley
  2. White
  3. Castle
  4. Hart
  5. Wallace
reply

Or since we choose i can put Caruso, he gets in the list at 4 and Hart drops to 5 and its consensus?

reply

I agree about Mobley being overqualified but he does often play a supporting role, similar to Bosh or Love.

If Caruso is eligible, I’d have him after Mobley and then drop Wallace off.

reply

Under White #3 i can go easily. White only lack on ball defense to Caruso, any other aspect is Derrick FTW, come on

reply
reply

It's gotten closer, but Caruso is an on-ball nightmare. I'll grant that White's a better all around player.

reply

We'll need the old and "good" democracy again

He was the 4th grade on average, some guys i would change but was the easiest path, Caruso & White are almost the definition of the role.

Mobley is potential Robin, Castle in other team Batman.

My list is just like yours1-4 / 5 Amen Thompson

Did you know only 6 NBA franchises have won more playoff series than Lebron has?

@grayruby I'm with to many trout entries for the week, i need another curious fact from my editor

The [Boston Celtics] have the best record against the spread by a team this season, with a spread record of 49-33.The [Boston Celtics] have the best record against the spread by a team this season, with a spread record of 49-33.

I'm too bet driven

Here is another baseball one if you want to go that way.

Including playoffs, Mason Miller has struck out:

20 of his last 23 batters
30 of last 38
40 of last 55
50 of last 70
60 of last 89
70 of last 109
80 of last 135

No other MLB pitcher in the last 50 years has matched any of those stretches at any point in his career (reg & post).

reply

Market for Miller winning the Cy young? I over heard that you have only a few closers with the honor

reply

If he keeps this up he has got a shot. Apparently Shohei wants a Cy Young award though.

reply

Luka and Cade
Trout vs Judge in NY
Champions League Semis set

Gossip maybe could be the Dexter Lawrence contract issue in NY and asking for a trade. Not sure.

Games of the upcoming week is playoffs playoffs and more playoffs

Quote of the week from siggy47 about the Mets 8 game losing streak "Man, this is as bad as it gets. Good thing they're out west. It's too late for me to even consider watching."

reply

Yeah the headlines are that

I need to search more on the gossip didn't know about that

Playoffs bonanza

@siggy47 do i have the authorization? It's really good quote

reply

Of course.

reply

Top 3 of the week? Someone has anyone else?

reply

I am good with this. I was going to suggest Steph and Trout. Here is a Trout stat for did you know

Mike Trout's series at Yankee Stadium:

5 HR
9 RBI
8 runs
3 walks
HR in every game

The only other player in MLB history to do all of that in any 4-game series at any location was Babe Ruth against the Tigers at the Polo Grounds from June 11-14, 1921.

reply

Trout week to remember definitely

reply

Luka and Cade successfully appealing the 65 game rule for awards?

reply

Absolutely
