did Cy really just say Kai Jones has every physical took Giannis has..?


sheesh thats why i have him on ignore hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahha

dude hasnt learned a damn thing since we last clashed heads, im up crazy stupid amounts n still learning voraciously... this dudes perma stuck on stupid.

 

[Game6Conley]

Is Cy gonna speak on the 23 year old grad xfer he advocated last year as a top 5 pick being banned from the league?

mr ****ing i wouldnt draft zach lavine cuz he likes cheif keef lookin *** logic **** 4 brains himself

 

[Game6Conley]

My question for Cy is at what point did you realize Kai Jones has all the tools of giannis? hahhaa


cuz I've been here talking about Kai Jones since he was barely ranked in the top100, several years now...


My point is at somepoint in Cy's head Kai Jones goes from basically irrelevant to "same physical tools as giannis" I am interested in the chronology, the micro mechanics of how and when that shift took place..

Cuz i mean, thats where ur inaccuracy stems from... for sure... the flaws in ur method are right there in what ive described/isolated...

 

[Game6Conley]

BTW the Jazz should prolly just draft Josh Primo..

It's also basically impossible to predict the leap Giannis made.

I mean, a guy like Kai Jones has every physical tool Giannis has, but does anyone actually think he can be Giannis?

Giannis was a lottery ticket. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But it's still worth playing the lottery.

Giannis had legit ball skills and body control that Kai Jones doesn't have though. Giannis is doing some young TMac-level stuff in this vid with the handles and passing...

Your three consecutive posts come off like you are a little butt hurt. Get over it.

We could have had Giannis and Rudy in the same draft. But instead we traded up to nab Trey Burke. FML

I think the Jazz were also targeting Kelly Olynyk if they didn't trade up. Once the Celtics traded with Dallas to draft Olynyk, the Jazz might have been forced to take Giannis at that point.

I still blame this on Ty Corbin 'needing a point guard' and Dennis Lindsey not taking the obvious high side pick at the time. We should have drafted for length (which was in vogue at the time amongst Dennis and the Bucks) and taken Giannis and Rudy at 14 / 17 instead of trading up. We would be NBA champions right now.

You and I are on the same page for once. Kid isn’t a liability in any way. Can do a bit of everything. Looks natural doing it. Is long and fairly athletic. And doesn’t turn 19 til late December. To me he’s a rare low risk, very high upside player.

He's my pick as well. Very smooth shooting stroke. Plays with heart. I think he's going to be a very good pro.

I see no way he doesn’t become a 7th man or better in the league. He’s too talented. If he works his *** off and has good coaching, he could be a stud.
