Following potential 2014 draftees

[A-Train (old)]

Now going to call "Aaron Harrison" "Erin Harrison" instead. Not going to believe someone so mediocre can share a first name with Aaron Gordon.

See post about Otto Porter.

Cy you were pimpin' Otto Porter so hard last year, like not even funny.

What is he doing now?

On the bench behind some really good wing players because the coaching staff doesn't want to play rookies on a playoff team.

36% isn't bad at all. 40% is considered elite.

So since you just proved your last answer was wrong, what elite skill do either Harrison possess?

Ummm…what?

1) Randle was pretty much always a top-7 lock. Even I had him around that range, and I feel like I'm the biggest "hater" on Randle on this board.

2) Any team that takes the Harrison that hit the big shot in the lottery is absolutely moronic. I give him credit for hitting not one, not two, but three huge shots. That's impressive. Doesn't mean I'd take him in the lottery. You know what he did outside of hitting that shot tonight? He had 8 total points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists (and I believe both were lob dunks) and got to the line once. In a game where he should have been able to physically manhandle his opponent offensively and defensively, he failed to do so.

He's athletic in the same way that Harrison Barnes is athletic. Sure his numbers might test out well, but he sure as hell doesn't play athletic. In a game with several pro prospects, Aaron Harrison was one of the least impressive, outside of his big shot. For all of his size and apparent talents, he doesn't do anything special. I believe his brother is the actual PG, but Harrison with the big balls has an entire starting lineup full of NBA talent (and some bench players), and he can't average more than 2 assists per game? Ok…well then he must be a pretty good shooter. Oh, you mean he only shot 36% from 3? Well…he has good size!!!!

Look, it's awesome that he had a great tournament for Kentucky. I hope he has a great game on Monday. For as much as I dislike Kentucky, they've been fun to watch this tournament…every week they've had the best game. However, if success was measured by how players did in the tournament, then Gerry freaking McNamera should have gone in the first round after his freshman year too.

I would love for you to tell me why Harrison deserves to go in the lottery, who you would take him over, and why. Kthx.

Tell me where I said he should go in the lottery? I'm saying don't be surprised when he does.

smart shot .290% and .299% from 3. and harrison barnes was picked #7.

these twins are projects. they are not a finished product. and it's hard to score a lot for this kentucky team. balls move a lot and everybody is so talented. and you are underrating badgers D.

36% is considered average. 40% is considered above-average.

There were over 100 players in college who shot above 42.7% from 3 this year, with a minimum of a little over 2 shots a game. 40% from deep in college is not elite, unless if you're shooting a lot while being covered a lot (JJ Redick, Salim Stoudamire, etc).

Trevor Ariza. One of the leagues best wing defenders and best 3pt shooters.

Why are you using a bad rookie year for a guy I liked in a weak draft against me? How can you be so ignorant to judge a player who has barely been given ample opportunity to prove his worth? If he was on the Jazz and getting stiffed for minutes, everyone would say "Oh give him time, the coaching staff just hates rookies!", but you are just trying to be an *** and find anything about my past predictions to disprove anything I say, even when what I'm saying makes sense.

Average my ***.

Ok, fine.

Why would you not be surprised if he went in the lottery? Who should he go over if he were to go in the lottery, and why?

Why would I believe anything you say.
