Following 2016 potential draftees

Not a draftee but was watching the 05 Illini Vs Wake game. One of best teams ever not to win a title. They way they passed the ball, if you didn't like watching them then you don't lie watching pure bball but anyway CPee3 got lit up and good golly to me people talk he is a top 5 all time point guard and I laugh.. He isn't even top 5 of his era... His numbers are very similar to Kevin Johnson AKA The Mayor of Sac Town. Except KJ got to back to back conference finals..
Is Paul th emost overrated player in hoops?
 
Im sorry but I don't see him having the IT factor in the NBA. He is not athletic nor a great dribbler... Good shot.. Best case Rip Hamilton, MIddle ground Kyle Korver or maybe bust.. I see him a good 6th man Vinnie Johnson style. Starter on a non playoff team. He has a frame that can be strong but I don't ever see his athletic ability improving..

We will see... that I am right and you are wrong.
 
Can chriss play the 3 or is he just a 4?

Depends on his perimeter defense, though PFs are supposed to defend the perimeter a bit now too. He looks like he can be a combo forward like a Rudy Gay, Marvin Williams or Robert Horry to me. He's got really nice shooting touch, timing and athleticism for a 6'9", 220lbs guy. He's a face-up player. He'd give us plus size and athleticism at the wing. He can shoot, attack close outs, contest shots. He has plus size and length if he can play the wing. His rebound numbers look a bit soft, and I'm guessing it's because he was out on the floor more than around the basket.

Its because he sucks at rebounding

Bold (or maybe not so bold prediction, I dunno what the consensus is) prediction: Jaylen Brown has a Justise Winslow-esque slide on draft day and I wouldn't be surprised if Chriss is taken before him. Mocked at 4 on Draftexpress and I wouldn't be surprised if he slides to 10. I think this draft is going to be a lot of fun to watch and super unpredictable. I think it's going to be like 2011 where the best group of players will be drafted late-lottery and later.

Can someone who follows closer explain why Zizic and Zubac both went from late second round to first round on DX and other "experts'" boards in the last month or so?
 
Brown is going go ahead of Chriss, No doubt what so ever.

In which you watch Buddy Hield drain 37 out of 38 from NBA range (no editing for only made baskets). he's starts shooting them at about 1:50 of the video.

his trainer looks like the kind of brough who could use a swift kick to the nuts.
 
I think Hield is #1 on my somewhat-realistic-wish-list.

I'd much rather trade down (if his stock stays the same) for Beasley than trade up for Hield. Both project as potential lights out shooters who have mediocre handles and are slightly undersized for the SG position. But Beasley is way younger and a far superior athlete. He was scoring at historically efficient rates for a freshman guard (doing things that no other freshman guard has done other than Kyrie Irving--and Irving only played in 11 collegiate games, meaning Beasley maintained that level of play for more than twice as many games).

I won't be surprised at all if Beasley ends up being the better pro when all is said and done.

I don't know what it would take to trade up for Buddy, but I think trading down for Beasley could grant us an additional 1st round pick in 2017, which is supposed to be a loaded draft.

word. I don't know much about Beasely. I don't see superstar in Hield, but his skill set looks like sure-success in Q's system.
 
Who kicks someone in the nuts? Is that how Mormons fight? A man is not supposed to kick another man in the nuts..

there are people who kill people for money. You don't think I could find someone to kick that guy in the nuts? eh, Hack?
