Armadillo:Friday's Den: Random stuff, mostly about basketball……

With the NBA Draft going on, here are some basketball-related thoughts……..

— My friend Joe Gill pointed this out to me yesterday— how much the NBA has changed.

The 3-point shot came into the NBA in the 1979-80 season, Magic/Bird’s rookie season. Here are the Lakers’ TEAM TOTALS FOR THE SEASON on 3-point shooting in their first six years the 3-point shot was in the NBA:

1979-80: 20-100, 20%
1980-81: 17-94, 18.1%
1981-82: 13-94, 13.8%
1982-83: 10-96, 10.4%
1983-84: 58-226, 25.7%
1984-85: 90-295, 30.5%

This past season, 2016-17, Lakers were 730-2110 (34.0%) on 3-pointers for the season; Golden State was 982-2563 (38.3%).

The game has changed in 37 years. A lot.

— Magic Johnson’s first six years in the NBA, he was 29-164 (17.7%) behind the arc; in his last seven NBA seasons, he improved to 32.5% on 3-pointers.

— Wednesday, CBS SportsNet ran an hour special on the draft; their four experts all picked who they thought the best player in the draft was- they gave four different answers, which sums this draft up well. There is no one player who is head and shoulders above the rest.

— 76ers have sold out over 14,000 season tickets for next year, a franchise record; their corps of talented young players have to prove they have the durability to play an 82-game season.

— Chicago Bulls traded Jimmy Butler to Minnesota for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the 7th pick, who wound up being Lauri Markkanen from Arizona.

— Little odd that the last two #1 picks in the draft (Fultz, Ben Simmons) had a combined record of 29-36 in their one season of college basketball and both coaches got fired within a year of coaching that player.

— Four quick non-basketball notes:
a) Weird Al Yankovic is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
b) Jose Abreu is the first major leaguer since 1966 whose first 13 home runs have all been on the road.
c) I graduated high school 40 years ago tonight.
d) I just realized a Saskatchewan-Montreal CFL game is on ESPNews.

— First seven picks in the draft were all college freshmen; Knicks broke the trend by taking Frank Ntilikina, an 18-year old point guard from Europe— he is 6-5.

— Jay Bilas’ comment on NC State’s Dennis Smith, #9 pick by the Mavericks: “He is not always a focused defender.” A nice way of saying, “He sucks on defense.”

— Sacramento traded the #10 pick to Portland for picks #15 and #20; Gonzaga’s Zach Collins was the #10 pick.

— December of 2013, just 3.5 years ago, I sat in the gym at Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas with my friend Mike and we watched some high school basketball. Bishop Gorman’s 3rd-string center was a 10th grader who played pretty well when he got into the game- that was Zach Collins.

Last night, Collins was the 10th pick in the NBA Draft, by Portland. Not bad for a kid who was a 3rd-string center on his high school team three years ago, behind Stephen Zimmerman and Chase Jeter. Zimmerman is in the D-League with Orlando, Jeter just transferred from Duke to Arizona. Collins has a shot to be the best of the three.

— NBA commissioner Adam Silver is a tall, bald man who wears glasses, which obviously makes him very handsome— ha!!! Oh, Charlotte just took Malik Monk, best shooter in the draft who apparently is also adept at hunting squirrels.

— Detroit took Duke’s Luke Kennard with the #12 pick; he plays basketball lefty, but when he was a high school QB, he threw the ball righty. Go figure.

— Utah traded Trey Lyles and the #24 pick to Denver for the #13 pick- Jazz took Donovan Mitchell from Louisville.

— Halftime: Saskatchewan 10, Montreal 7. Season opener for both clubs. We’ll have write-ups on all the CFL games, starting next week.

— ESPN’s guy with the touchscreen who is a salary cap guru predicts the Bulls will buy out Dwyane Wade’s contract as they totally rebuild. Thats an expensive deal right there.

— John Calipari was in Colorado Springs Thursday morning coaching the U19 team, then was in Brooklyn for the draft; I’m assuming he is headed back to Colorado as soon as all of his guys get drafted. I’m assuming Calipari has a really nice house, but is he ever home?

Calipari is now holding court on ESPN; in eight years at Kentucky, he’s coached 64 players. Half of those 64 players have been drafted by the NBA.

— I’ll say this: Oklahoma State guard Jawun Evans is really good. He’ll be a very good NBA player, but he hasn’t been taken yet.

— In his next contract, Paul George will either get $177M for five years or $132M for four years, depending on if he switches teams or not.

— Sacramento took Harry Giles, who has already torn the ACL in both knees and wasn’t good at Duke last year— there is very little chance this ends well. Giles scored 3.9 pts/game while playing in 20% of Duke’s possessions last year. Can he recover enough to withstand an 82-game schedule? Wish the young man well, but this figures to be another Sacramento disaster.

— My point here: Taking Giles over Jawun Evans is basketball malpractice.

— Oklahoma City took Terrance Ferguson with the #21 pick; he skipped college (Arizona) and shot 30% in an Australian pro league LY. They say he needs to get stronger- if he such a great shooter, why did he shoot 30% in an Australian league? He is a developmental project.

— Host Brooklyn Nets took Jarrett Allen, a big kid from Texas. He scored 13.4 pts/game with 8.4 reb/game LY. This young man built his own computer, which is very impressive.

Nets are 41-123 the last two years; three short years ago, they were 44-38 and in Eastern Conference semis. It is easier to get worse than it is to get better. They need a lot of players.

— Denver grabs Tyler Lydon from Syracuse, who is a good shooter but apparently has 13% body fat, which means he needs to get himself in better shape, especially since he’ll have to play man defense for the first time since high school or AAU ball- Syracuse plays all 2-3 zone.

— Caleb Swanigan was drafted by Portland; hard not to root for this guy. By the time he was 13 years old, he had gone to 13 different schools. He was adopted by a guardian angel who gave him structure in his life and then he lost 100 pounds in high school and became a really good player. We wish him well.

— Spurs took Derrick White with the 29th pick; kid played D-2 ball because that was the only offer he got coming out of high school. Then he transferred to Colorado and now he is a first round draft pick- Spurs’ track record of picking guys lower than 20th and having them be really good players is pretty amazing.

— 16 college freshmen were taken in the first round; Derrick White was the first senior taken, at #29.

— New Orleans just traded for Duke’s Frank Jackson after Charlotte picked him so now I’m annoyed; he is NOT BETTER than Juwan Evans. You wonder if coach Brad Underwood had stayed at Oklahoma State if Evans would’ve stayed, too, but Underwood had a spat with the AD and bolted to Illinoi$.

— Finally…..the 76ers take Juwan Evans with the 39th pick. Now I can go write my baseball article. Take your measurables and stick ‘em— this kid can play.

P.S. Evans is getting traded to the Clippers. Jerry West works for the Clippers now— that makes me feel good. ��

MLB Daily Line Drive: Friday's Picks, Betting Odds and Analysis

Double-Play Picks

Cincinnati Reds at Washington Nationals (-265, 9)

The Washington Nationals return home after a seven-game road trip and welcome the Cincinnati Reds to town Friday for the opening game of their three day weekend series.

Both teams come into today's game riding pretty decent offensive waves. The Reds have lost 11 of their last 12 games, but they can still hit the baseball. Over their last four they are averaging 5.5 runs per game and they rank fourth in the National League in home runs and third in OPS. The Nationals, of course, are the top offensive team in the N.L., topping the stats tables in almost every category (runs, home runs, batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS), and are averaging 6.5 runs per game over their last 10 contests.

The Reds will be sending right-hander Luis Castillo to the hill at Nationals Park for his major league debut. Castillo brings 100 mile per hour potential and a low walk rate up from AA this season (10 walks over 56 innings)...but this isn't AA.

Stephen Strasburg gets the ball for the Nats and he has been hittable at home this season with a 4.15 ERA and six home runs allowed on home soil. The other factor for totals bettors in this game should be the Nationals bullpen that is still dealing with injury issues and ranks last in the National League with a 5.04 ERA.

The Over is 7-1-1 in the Reds' last nine road games and 9-2-1 in their last 12 overall. The Over is 8-2 in the Nats' last 10 overall, including their last three home games.

Wind: 15-18 miles per hour OUT to right-center field.

Pick: Over 9

Philadelphia Phillies at Arizona Diamondbacks (-200, 9.5)

The Philadelphia Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks go to battle this evening in Phoenix in the first of a four-game series and this one is a clear-cut case of two teams headed in exact opposite directions. The Phils come to town as losers of 13 of their last 15, including losses in their last seven road games. The D-Backs return home off a very successful eight-game road trip where they ripped off seven victories and they are 12-2 in their last 14 games overall.

Phillies rookie Mark Leiter will make his first big league start today. He has made 12 appearances out of the bullpen this season and his road results are rather alarming with an ERA of 8.68, a WHIP of 1.61, and only five strikeouts to go along with eight walks over 9.1 innings pitched.

Lefty Patrick Corbin gets the ball for Arizona and he has been very good at Chase Field this season with a team win/loss record of 7-1 and a solid ERA of 3.45. He will be facing a Phillies offense that ranks second worst in the N.L. in runs scored (275) and third from the bottom in OPS (.699).

The Phillies will likely be happy to get four or five innings out of Leiter before handing the ball over to the bullpen. That's more good news for the Diamondbacks as the Phils' pen ranks near the bottom of the National League with an ERA of 4.90.

The Diamondbacks swept the Phillies last week in Philadelphia and anything other than a four-game sweep at home this weekend would be considered a bit of a surprise. Feel comfortable laying the extra run tonight.

Pick: D-Backs -1.5 (-105)

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season To Date: 72-58-7

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Alex Wood, Los Angeles Dodgers (7-0, 1.90 ERA, $354)

The Dodgers lead the majors in opponents batting average .289 and ERA 3.35 and of course the leader of the rotation is ‘The Claw’ Clayton Kershaw. But he isn’t doing things alone, 26-year-old Alex Wood has been dealing.

Wood is 5-0 with a 0.97 ERA and a 0.81 WHIP in his last six outings. The crown jewel of this stretch was his last start at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, where he dominated the Reds over eight innings allowing four hits and the only run coming on a two-out solo home run in the 8th inning.

Wood and the Dodgers are big chalk at -200 at home against the Colorado Rockies.

Slumping: Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox (3-9, 5.05, $-561)

In what is starting to become a weekly appearance in the Line Drive, Rick Porcello continues to stink. The defending American League Cy Young Award winner is currently sitting at 242 out of 251 on our Covers Starting Pitcher Money Board.

Even by 2017 standards Porcello’s last three starts have been particularly rough. He is 0-2 with a gross 8.35 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, opponents batting average of .372. In a very weak defense of the Red Sox righty, in two of those starts his lineup scored a combined one run.

Porcello and the Red Sox are -170 home chalk against the Los Angeles Angels.

Friday's Top Trends

* The Baltimore Orioles have allowed five or more runs in 19 consecutive games. Orioles/Rays Total: 8.5.
* The Cincinnati Reds are 1-11 in their last 12 overall. +225 today @ Nationals.
* The Cleveland Indians are 14-3 in their last 17 meetings with the Minnesota Twins. CLE -180 today at home.
* Over is 12-1 in the Los Angeles Dodgers' last 13 overall. Rockies/Dodgers Total: 8.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a chance of thunderstorms in the Big Apple tonight where the Rangers and Yankees are scheduled to play. The forecast is looking bleak and don’t be surprised if this game doesn’t happen. There is also a chance of thunderstorms developing and 50-55 percent chance of rain at first pitch at Progressive Field where the Indians host the Twins.

Hitter’s winds could be a factor in a few ballparks today:

* Reds at Nationals (Total: 9): 15-18 MPH wind blowing out to right-center field.
* Rangers at Yankees (Total: 9) 10 MPH wind blowing out to left-center field.
* Angeles at Red Sox (Total: 10.5) 16 MPH wind blowing out to left-center field.
* Athletics at White Sox (Total: 10) 12 MPH wind blowing out to center.
* Mets at Giants (Total: 8.5) 14 MPH wind blowing out to left-center field.

Ump Of The Day

Tom Hallion gets the pads today at Marlins Park where the Marlins are hosting the Cubs. Hallion has been one of baseball’s top OVER umpires this season with the over cashing 12 of his 15 (80 percent) appearances calling balls and strikes. When the total is nine or higher the OVER has paid out six of seven times.

Another trend for bettors to look out for with Hallion his lack of affection for the defending World Series champions. The Cubs have won only one of the last seven games with Hallion behind the dish.
