Chandler Parsons saying Austin Reaves is near his max potential and will be a 15/5/5 type guy.

With the scoring bump the league has seen, I see old 14-15ppg threats from 10-12 years ago more like 17-18ppg guys now.

I don’t really think he is going to get that much better. He is basically the same age as Pritchard (who I also don’t expect to have some sort of leap)

If this is a false allegation I feel pretty bad for Howard.

This isn't the 1st time allegations like this have come up against Howard. Alleged victims have popped up a few times over the years. After a while, so much smoke usually means there's a fire somewhere.

Unfortunately, there's such a stigma against sexual assault victims especially in the LGBTQ+ community. If it turns out to be true, I hope his victims get healing.

Howard has been accused of sexual assault multiple times? I definitely have not heard of this before.

A transgender woman accused him of becoming physically aggressive during a sexual encounter a few years ago (when he was with Washington if I'm not mistaken), and just last year a man who claimed he was involved with  him said Howard started harassing him and his family after he tried to break it off. Both took their stories to social media but mainstream didn't pick them up.

This seems good. Collectively it had just gotten too gimmicky, one can hope these leads to a few more moments of less ridiculous basketball.

Theres also this, the player he gropes here was a g-league call-up. Might explain why he keeps getting transferred around like a catholic priest.

And there are the allegations about inappropriately texting underage girls, and allegations about having underage girls in his hotel room.

There are also allegations of RJ87's aforementioned trans person saying he assaulted numerous male dancers.

And allegations he stalked and dropped his pants in front of a p*rn star he was trying to convert to Christianity.

It's a whole cornucopia of deviant behavior. Very creepy.

Yeah, there's been a lot of stuff about Dwight that's been just under the radar for a long time. These newest allegations aren't surprising at all. I don't know what's true and what's not but as I said before, that's a lot of smoke.

I was going to say the same thing.  They are already fun to watch right now.

Roster isn’t great, but I think a big part of the defensive struggles is that their best player doesn’t really try on that end of the court. So why should anyone else?
