I just saw the 2014 Draft selections and number 46th caught my eye. Lakers got explosive athletic Clarkson and who did we get? That's right, Kyle worthless Anderson, 16 PICKS earlier! Lol, I wonder how that conversation went." Hey pop, this kid from Missouri, Clarkson, can be dynamic offensively" , "no, I like Kyle13 minute mile Anderson and his classic dribble curl to defenders and then pass out to teammate 5 ft.outside the 3 line and with a defender on him"
You might want to upgrade from dial-up.Quote:

Westbrook?
I really wanted Clarkson in the off-season, but bigger miss was Jokic.
Yeah it's well documented he's from San Antonio, I meant where he played his last year of college ball, MissouriQuote:

I've said this before, but Jokic was such a Spurslike pick I can't believe we didn't select himQuote:

I wanted jokic that year. His stats in correlation with his age were very good.Quote:

He forgot "with a defender on him ... with 2 seconds on the shot clock" :lolQuote:

Dude, I agree that Lin>Clarkson but Waiters is TRASH. He's several tiers below Lin and Clarkson.Quote:

Clarkson is so overrated but i do believe hes way better than kyle at this point
Because a player like Kyle is wayyyy worse.Quote:

Jordan Clarkson - 15.2ppg, 2.7reb 2.1apg on 49.4FG%
Fat head has started more than half of his games played this year and is putting up Skip Bayless in high school numbers, while Clarkson hasn't started a game. One is D-League role player material, the other is a legit 6MOY candidate
I don't understand either. Obviously you're allowed to change picks a couple years after you draft so why haven't we done so? Doesn't make any sense!
:bobo
not really hard, a player like clarkson can be brought in for peanutsQuote:

Wow, I thought I was a homer!Quote:

You name me a player that was chosen in that draft, and I'll show you a better player than Kyle Anderson
