Huh? You said dumb things, I responded to them. Pretty simple.

Facts must be funny. You spend a lot of time LOLing.
The most LOL-able post is that Poeltl will score 18 ppg in the NBA, more than both Gasols, Drummond, Monroe, Horford, etc.

Yahoo article on the power struggle between the agents and NBA teams.
"On the other hand, agents are increasingly taking a hardline stance in their negotiations with teams, refusing to send their players for workouts or even interviews in order to not concede anything regarding what they feel is their client’s draft range. Instead, they are relying on teams coming to their pro days.
One agent told The Vertical that’s generally his strategy. “If my client goes to work out for a team that is picking outside where he’s generally projected, other teams view that as a weakness, like his stock is falling,” he said. “Either way, most of these teams end up picking a player they never worked out regardless, so what exactly is the point?”
Some NBA executives also complained that many of the prospects now are too robotic in the interview process after being prepared by professionals. “This may have been the most coached-up bunch of guys I’ve ever seen this year,” said one executive who was present for every interview session his team held. “We didn’t get that much out of the interviews this year.”

Go back and re-read what I said. It's pretty simple reading comprehension stuff.
So yeah, lol.

Like I said above, it's simple reading comprehension. Show me where I said Poeltl would score 18 a game. Hell, I understand you don't have the reading skills to accomplish this simple feat, so I'll do it for you.
Here is what I said:
Now, this was in reference to the Jazz selecting Poeltl with the 12th pick. I agreed taking Poeltl because he has potential. He was the best post scoring big man in college basketball and is solid defensively. Now, I NEVER said that he WOULD score 18 a night. BUT, I DID SAY that there is a chance he could do that, and taking that chance is worth taking with the 12th pick. Especially with how high Poeltl's floor is.
So, like I have said before, LOL. You guys read what you wanted to read, jumped to conclusions that weren't based in reality. So **** off.

Testy, testy little man. The reality of what you said is right there in black in white for all to read: that Poeltl can average 18 a night. If you meant to say "there is a chance that Poeltl could average 18 a night" please just admit to your writing error and move on.
