Tavares to good to pass up imho
Just noticed that Jarnell Stokes is still on the board. Great rebounder. Would be great value for some team that needs help on the boards.
Tavares to good to pass up imho
Randle is a ing steal at #7. LA2 did well tonight.
LA2? After the pick randle#Lakers were trending #1 worldwide.
Jazz picking for the Grizz...and they take Stokes. Good big man depth for them.
James Anderson says hi
Anderson had mad potential before his injury though.
True, but still the worst pick RC ever made considering how high it was.
Nah, Randle has "bust" written all over him, especially with a ty coach like Dumbleavy or Scott not developing him....
If I had drafted CJ Suxcox, I'd be hiding too![]()
He was awesome until he broke his foot (lol same injury Embiid has).
Hinkie with some head scratching moves. What good is analytics if you keep picking players who won't play? Saric, Embiid? After Noels missing all of last year? I feel bad for Philly fans. They had to go through horrible season last year and they don't have nothing to look forward to, at least for next season.
I love Chicago's pick (Nurkic) Phoenix (Ennis) and Wilcox will be good for us, great shooter it seems like. I don't understand Gordon in Orlando as well.
I just can't get into all this draft discussion because, as Bill Simmons pointed out, the NBA draft order has very little predictive power. If NBA executives can't accurately predict the best players, I know I sure as can't.
from Bill Simmons's nba draft crapshoot:
Funniest retroactive moments: Pat Riley nearly taking Chris Kaman over Wade (that’s true), and Donald Sterling throwing a tantrum because he didn’t want to take a white guy with the no. 6 pick (also true). Just think, if Miami had taken Kaman — The Decision never happens, LeBron goes to New York or Chicago in 2010, Bosh probably signs with Houston, Howard eventually ends up in Dallas, and Wade absolutely punches out Donald Sterling. That’s a bizarre alternate universe.![]()
Nono pls![]()
broken foot or not, dude still cant even beat clowns like green or kawhi up the rotation
He will not bust. You just hatin'. Had to hurt to have Jalen shooting down the Lebron to LAC dreams all night. Me I KNOW we are not getting James. Your fanbase (some of mine too) still has delusions of grandeur ...
also ROSE pointing out the owner's vote still hasnt happened when everyone was suckin off Silver last night.
Cubes gonna have to finally choose a side should be interesting.
Didn't even watch the draft, tbh, why voluntarily watch Bill Simmons talk when Woj just spoils all the picks in advance?![]()
The dude actually has a decent chance of busting. ty tools, makes his living off of dominating teams with terrible defenses. Seriously, everybody's performance drops off against great defenses, but not many drop off a cliff like Randle. Horrific defensive awareness in a team setting, turnover prone; basically the guy projects as a post-scorer and rebounder, but he's got average length and height and his strength gets mitigated by all the athletes he faces in the NBA. He'll probably average 14/8 in the NBA on 50% shooting, but if he's a defensive sieve and turns the ball over all the time, what good does that do you? People compare him to Z-bo but Z-bo destroys him from a tools and defensive awareness standpoint in college. He might prove me wrong and develop into a semi-useful player if he magically develops a reliable jumper but the odds are against it and he's definitely a worse bet to succeed than someone like Vonleh or Nurkic.
EDIT: when i say 14/8 on 50%, I mean 14/8 on a ty team. On a good team he'd be a bench guy at best
