A second NBA bubble? The NBA has yet to officially restart the 2020 season in Florida, but the league has already started discussions with the National Basketball Players Association for a side bubble with the eight teams that have been eliminated from the post-season evaluation, according to an ESPN report. Jackie MacMullan. There is still uncertainty as the coronavirus pandemic continues across the country and many of the challenges the NBA has faced in developing the campus at Walt Disney World are likely to reoccur with any attempt at a second site.
Our NBA experts explore some of these questions for the Chicago interim bubble and what it would mean for players, teams and the offseason.
What obstacles need to be addressed?
The biggest obstacle will be if the Florida bubble works. If the NBA is unable to get the 22-team bubble out of Disney World, there is no point in trying to make one by involving teams with little to play for.
On top of that, it will be difficult for the league to build the same level of security in a city the size of Chicago. In a place like Disney World, the league was able to build an almost completely autonomous campus. It would not be possible in one of the largest cities in America.
So there is the problem with the coronavirus itself. A significant percentage of players have proven positive in the past two weeks (greater than 7% since June 23, and this does not count players who have previously tested positive). If a significant part of the players on these teams tested positive before joining a Chicago bubble, this would jeopardize why the teams want to do it in the first place: get young players on the pitch together.
Also, as reported by MacMullan, Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey did an informal survey of coaches who are not involved in the restart, and says that most prefer to keep their minicamps.
“We would rather do it than go to the bubble,” said Casey, “because unlike those Orlando teams, we wouldn’t have played for the same reason.
“The reason we want these mini-fields is to bring together our team, have that camaraderie, improve and enjoy the competition. We believe we can do it safely in our environment. We cannot allow these kids to sit from March 11 to December without something It will hurt their career. It’s too long a layoff. “
Instead of investing the time and financial resources in creating a second bubble, the league could work with these eight franchises to develop protocols for the training camps on the market that all teams must face before the 2020-21 season starts.– Tim Bontemps and Bobby Marks
What lessons from Florida will accelerate the construction of a Chicago bubble?
The NBA and the players’ union have spent months developing a huge health and safety protocol for the Florida bubble, so both sides have an agreed set of rules to follow for another bubble. And in the two months since the Disney bubble started and the launch of a potential second position, they’ll learn a lot more about how to handle things. In addition, the league will have gone through the process of bringing teams from outside the bubble into Florida, the most vulnerable period for the virus to spread.
However, it might make more sense for the NBA to look abroad for more lessons on how This the potential bubble scenario may work. The Disney World plan was to take into account the teams that remained in residence for up to four months. A Chicago plan would be more like what the Spanish and German basketball leagues have recently completed with a couple of weeks spent on one site. – Bontemps and brands
What are the advantages of bringing eight teams together in a second bubble?
There is no exact precedent for the situation we are experiencing right now, but I think the historical evidence we have tends to suggest that playing NBAbasketball games is not as important to player development as people might think.
Consider withdrawals that remain out of the first season due to injuries. This is a small example, but this group – including the absolute number 1 Joel Embiid, Greg Oden and Ben Simmons – tended to beat their university projections as a rookie, after adapting to aging. We also saw NBA teams without G League affiliates develop young talent well without having frequent gaming experience for those players, a trend explored by John Hollinger of The Athletic last year.
If a bubble is the only way players can now experience 5 out of 5 experience, this could be worth the expense, effort and any additional risk. But if the goal is simply to play against other teams instead of having teams individually scrimmage in their markets, I don’t think it’s worth it. – Kevin Pelton
What would this be like?
For beginners, free agents such as Minnesota shooting guard Timberwolves Malik Beasley should be excluded from any kind of bubble setting. We have already seen Washington Wizards striker Davis Bertans give up playing in Florida, where games have real meaning. There are too many risks for a player who is set to become a free agent in mid-October.
Secondly, only players who have a zero to three year service should be eligible to participate, essentially players who have been chosen as candidates in the past three seasons. You may even make an exception that any eligible first round pick of the extension – such as Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins and Chicago Bulls striker Lauri Markkanen – may give up if they decide to do so.
The pool of 60 eligible players would consist of players of the caliber of Atlanta Hawks, Trae Young, New York Knicks shooting guard RJ Barrett, Cleveland Cavaliers SG Collin Sexton, Cleveland PG Darius Garland, Minnesota Timberwolves striker Josh Okogie, Chicago Bulls C Wendell Carter Jr., Chicago SG Coby White, Charlotte Hornets PG Devonte ‘Graham, Charlotte striker PJ Washington and Charlotte SF Miles Bridges.
Teams should be allowed to carry up to 15 players on the roster. The players available for the invitation come from the G League, those not drawn before 2020 and those who have played internationally and have obtained authorization from FIBA. The same service criteria apply from zero to three years.
Veterans such as Golden State Warriors PG Stephen Curry, SG Klay Thompson and PF Draymond Green should be excluded.
Comparable to how teams conduct free-agent minicamps after the season, any player who is not under contract should receive a salary of $ 134 per day. – Marks and Pelton
Who would be the main rookies to watch?
A top priority for these eight teams would be to make sure their young players don’t lag behind in development due to the long layoff.
The following 10 beginners would be observed avidly if a Chicago bubble were activated:
SG RJ Barrett, Knicks
While top two picks Zion Williamson and Ja Morant took the NBA by storm this season, Barrett – pick number 3 – battled inefficiency, in part due to a lackluster New York roster lacking shooting .
However, he quietly finished the season with a high score, averaging 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 stolen in his last 10 games, firing 50% from 2 and 37 % by 3. Chicago would be an excellent opportunity for the star Duke to regain that moment.
SG Coby White, Bulls
The former North Carolina champion has broken out in the last 10 games, averaging nearly 25 points in 33 minutes with 60% real shots. Obviously, White has always been a dynamic scorer when his jumper is falling, so we will have a more careful eye on whether the game is slowing down for him and how he assesses if assigned to greater director responsibility.
PG Darius garland, Cavaliers
The fifth choice is the exact type of player who could benefit most, since he only played five games at Vanderbilt due to an injury and had his ups and downs as a Cleveland debutant.
We’ll be watching how Garland kneels with Cavs watching over Collin Sexton in the backcourt. I firmly believe that his pull-up footage and his way of playing offside will eventually work well in the modern NBA as he continues to gain more experience.
SF Jarrett Culver, Timberwolves
The Texas Tech standout has had some excellent moments in the defensive part through its first 63 NBA games, but has yet to prove offensive after shooting 47.1% from 2, 29.9% from 3 and 46.2% from the line of free throw – giving it the lowest true throw percentage of any spin beginner.
Culver really shone with intense college use, and I’d be interested to see how he looks in a starring role.
PF Sekou Doumbouya, Pistons
Doumbouya is the player who intrigues me most, given his stellar highs and forgettable lows during his 754 NBA minutes. Although talented, he is a player who benefits from a normal routine. Despite its peaks and valleys, at 6 feet-8 with upward pull and defensive versatility, it adapts to a profile difficult to find.
SG Cam Rossastro, Falchi
Reddish ended the season with a high score (shooting 40% from 3 in the last 12 games) and looks like the part of a promising 3-eD collaborator at 6 feet-8 with a wingspan of 7 feet. Provided he has more freedom in Chicago, we’ll be watching to see if he really has untapped hit-making capabilities.
SF De’Andre Hunter, Hawks
The Virginia striker had one of the highest floors in the 2019 NBA draft given his maturity, resume, and combination of defense and shooting at 6 feet-7 with a wingspan of 7 feet-2. Chicago could give us a window on whether or not Hunter has a more offensive advantage in which to grow.
SF Kevin Porter Jr., Cavaliers
Porter had some exciting moments as a novice, with his ability to generate offense in style for himself and his teammates. Chicago would be an excellent opportunity to see how Porter adapts to the rest of the young Cavs in an expanded role.
PF PJ Washington, Hornets
The Kentucky product was stable throughout the season, starting 57 games out of 58 and knocking out 37% of its 3s. We’ll see if Washington has added more to its off-the-dribbling game, as Charlotte PF’s fellow rookies Jalen McDaniels, SF Cody Martin and SG Caleb Martin will appear.
PF Eric Paschall, Warriors
A second round theft for the Warriors and a perfect fit for their small ball style, Paschall was one of the most productive beginners in the NBA. I am very interested to see if the great energetic and modern can rediscover the shooting shot that has worked so hard to improve during his three-year career in Villanova. – Mike Schmitz
