@Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling speaking of streaking, I worked a rugby tournament last weekend. Had TWO streakers in the same day. One male. One female. It was absolutely awesome.
And I agree with your list for everybody but Nogueira. I'm not as high on him the more I watch and read.
@Jooseppi @Lost Ones eww...
@GREENE1148 @TheresABabyFaceUnderMyBeard @Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling @Old Man Game the fact that "motor" isn't his main useful skill.
@nomad @okcjim hes performed very poorly in both interviews and at the combine. That's why he's dropped. Conversely, Hardaway has been absolutely dominant in all of his showings so far, and scouts have taken a strong liking to him. Surprised to see Karasev's stock fall though. By all accounts he's done exactly what people thought he would in workouts, and that's be a completely lights out shooter
@cfountain I love him. Give me him at any pick after 19.
@Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling @Old Man Game I think Zeller brings more offensive tools though, and he will likely put on some weight once in the league. I like Zeller a lot for us.
@jeffori Give me Snell in a heartbeat. No to Franklin though unless he has an unlikely drop way down to the 29/ 32... at which point, still give me Snell instead
@Old Man Game @Westbrookinit3 why take Dieng at 12 though when he will likely be had in the early 20's range?
@ThunderChick2010 @OkcBaby Any team is lucky that has a top 2 player in the league
Over Under on how many fouls get called on the Pacers that nobody but the refs see this game? I'm setting it at around 20
No credit goes to Scott Brooks for the philosophy of staying big against Miami. It isn't just simply "going big" that gives Miami an issue, Indiana is putting their best lineup on the floor, which happens to include a 4 and 5.
@Perk-Punt I would have a lot of trouble being upset with that. I question whether Shabazz is actually BPA at 12 (there's some really good mid-round talent- I think both Schroeder and KCP will have better careers and will be better fits), but that's a pretty dang upgraded roster over this year depth-wise
My prayers go out to all of you affected by the tornadoes yesterday. Hoping DT made it out relatively unscathed.
@Legendary_Dork what video is this? I want to see!
We don't need Steven Adams for his freakish size, great athleticism, or high potential.
The reason we need Steven Adams, is because he is going to make for the best bench mobber of all time. I mean, this guy is as great a fan and as great a personality as any incoming rookie I've ever seen.
I'm not sure if these are compliments or detracting statements, but I really do think he'd be absolutely hilarious on the bench.
@TaoMaas I definitely agree with this. They really do have a good core of players. Getting a long term solution at point guard for them (doesn't need to be a star, just somebody who meshes better with Harden) is a much bigger upgrade than upgrading Asik, even to Howard. They also could use a stretch 4 (Guessing Terrence Jones isn't the answer), and then upgrade their wings/ bigs on the bench, and they've got a REALLY good team.
And almost all that could be taken care of for the price of one Dwight Howard contract.
@Jooseppi Zeller. It's not even about the skills he possesses as far as shooting, scoring back to the basket etc, he'll also be immediately better in the team aspect. I think Adams is an awesome prospect, but at the end of the day Zeller already knows how to play basketball and Adams does not. Teaching basketball to bigs is for teams who can do that, and we haven't shown any ability to whatsoever yet (what "big man" skills did we teach Ibaka... a perimeter jumper and how to not bite on EVERY pump fake?)
