Did the NBA decree that anyone discussing the NBA Draft must refer to players as "assets" or face 15 years at hard labor in a North Korean prison? No matter what station I have had on, anyone talking about the draft has very conspicuously used this term. Has this replaced "score the basketball" as the hip thing for people to say?

a very dumb and gross way for people to think they sound smart.

I think it's innocuous - it's a transactional way of looking at things, and draft night shifts the transaction rumor mill into high gear. Thus every pick is potentially an "asset."

since the draft got moved to NBA TV, i missed Jay Bilas saying everyone has a strong motor

I was listening to some of the draft coverage in the car on the way home and the scouting report on Josh Jackson was he's a very good defender, can't shoot, and has "elite energy."

Parkins just used both "assets" and "score the basketball" in the same sentence.
