Following potential 2014 draftees

Are you dehydrated?

ceiling = not current ability


who's the better athlete? Aaron Harrison
who has better size? Aaron Harrison
who's better 3pt shooter? Aaron Harrison


these 3 alone makes a very strong case for aaron harrison. Smart is much better player NOW. that's not a debate. but ceiling? i think Smart is a finished product. he will be a pitbull like defender who doesn't have a clear cut position. but he can score. pretty good ceiling, but not great ceiling

To haters. Cy.

UK won. ****ing cry.

Gave UK props hoe.

Just not going to anoint Aaron Harrison > Marcus Smart.

UK is playing outstanding ball.

I love Randle as a top 5-6 pick, but I wouldn't touch either Harrison in the lotto. Aaron is shooting well but he can't dribble, and Andrew can dribble but can't shoot.

Smart is a much better prospect, and I can say that while still acknowledging how great Aaron (and really andrew too) have been recently.

It's crazy that it took the Tourney for the UK guards to finally understand they are way worse than Julius Randle and they should probably give him the ball more instead of taking bad jumpshots, or they should just attack the rim and let Randle clean up their garbage.

Kinda strange post... no one is pimping the harrisons in the lotto...

But you're wrong about both Harrisons. I wouldn't take either in lotto.. but they both have handles and shot.

Brent Barry had more potential than John Stockton with the flawed criteria.

Except neither of them can do the only thing that makes Alec not awful, which is finish contested shots at a very high rate.

some dudes bloom late. these freshman kids are projects. they are all potential. but it doesn't mean they can't get better.

i hope these twins stay 1 more year. i can see them really blossoming into a legit players who can carry the team all season long.

U are normally good but this is bannable.

I just don't see what their game would be in the NBA, even in the most ideal situation. I guess I could see Aaron being a Wes Matthews type, possibly, but that isn't a guarantee. There a lot of players with his same skill-set, I just don't see a single elite skill and his size is average in the NBA.

All college kids suck but Aaron G. Truthicus.

 

[A-Train (old)]

it takes massive balls to even attempt those shots. and he made all 3 of them. clutch gene is real.

This x 100.

2 very different comparisons. smart will be a combo guard. and he could easily bust as a point guard. he could also easily bust as a shooting guard. he could be one of those dude who doesn't have a clear cut position. that's his low.

AI's ceiling was higher than john stockton. john wall's ceilling is higher than john stockton. kyrie irving's ceiling is higher than john stockton.

but again, it's just a ceiling. i'm only talking about ceiling here. wiggins ceiling is probably kobe + tmac like. that doesn't mean wiggins will be kobe or tmac. embiid's ceiling is slower, but taller hakeem. but embiid could easily be nothing more than marcus camby
