[Zulu]

S.I.M.P squirrels in my pants

Well shoot why did I waste my rep on you already... This has to be top Ten post all time...















.... Has anyone seen Perry???

Really?!! I am incredulous, but I will be more open minded about reading articles from BR. Honestly, the first 10 or so articles I read from bleacher report were so bad it left an indelible mark.

As far as just getting news (like this article) it's fine. News is news. But when you get into analysis and such, it's very hit and miss for obvious reasons.

The best article on defense I've ever read was on BR.

This is classic "skipping steps" He shoulda gone to college. Like his talent and physical gifts. Inadequate BB IQ right now, esp for PG (could improve, who knows?). Will be a major project, what team will have patience to develop him as he struggles for first 2 years?

Add Wiggins and Embiid to what your saying IMO. Parker is the only player that could help a team right when he comes into the league, maybe smart too.

I like Exum, but I like the following scenario better:

Let's say the Jazz get the 5th - 7th pick (and Embiid, Wiggins, Randle, Parker are gone), I'd rather they trade down to around 9 or 10 and select Gary Harris, and use the additional asset plus GSW to move up to select James Young.

So you go the Minny way at the SG spot? Let's stack 15 SGs and trade the best 10 away.

It is nice to see one of the top 5 guys say they are entering the draft. I was starting to worry that all top 5 guys would go to college next year. I would be fine with him being in a Jazz uniform. He could play the PG position when Burke goes to the bench.

It has all the same tweets and quotes you'll find in other articles, only this one has a sweet *** video.

People bitch about BR too much. The quality completely varies from article to article. I've read some insanely good stuff on BR.

I agree. Too much is made of how dumb they are. It does vary. However, I dont read bleacher often because of how dumb the set up of the site is. I dont like clicking through so many pages when its just a list of top players or something. Its annoying.

Bleacher Report is kind of coming up. They get mentioned during games now or on the radio. Some of the stories suck. Some dont. No different than reading things from other writers.

He looks like he's working on his body, which is good. He's not a great leaper, but he's really fast. I think he'll be a solid pro. He'd be the quickest player in our backcourt, and he should be able to get into the lane and set up our bigs. He'll make Hayward look slow and clumsy by comparison. Quickness is his calling card.

He's 4th on my board. At least for the Jazz.

I noticed that too. He's filled out his upper body quite a bit.

I have a really good feeling about Exum. I wish he was a more explosive athlete or a better 3 point shooter, but I can't shake the feeling that he's going to be great.

Will be the biggest bust in this draft

 

[yamers]

Have you ever seen an NBA player with his build who can barely dunk? Dude's like 6'10" wingspan and can't throw down.

He plays Kobe's triple threat game against white, redheaded (stepchild) highschoolers and gets shut down. Sure, he'll be able to pull up and fade like Kobe, and he'll be able to burn past defenders like Monte (dat first step yo!), but he won't ever finish as well as this rookie kid challenging Trey for the ROTY.

right here.

Truth.

Lakers are gona take him. Which is good for us LOL. His agent is hyping him to be the next michael jordan. This is absolutely insane. LOL!

and now the mock drafts have smart going AFTER exum?!...what!? This is darko militic writtien all over it! stay the **** away!

if it comes down to exum vs smart. take smart! who cares if he pushed somebody in the stands.

Australians can't play basketball. Just look at their track record, Lil Brother....

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Exum = future Jazzman

Called it.

 

[spycam1]

Called it.

Also used my birthday wish the week before the draft to make sure that Exum would fall to us.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I will have to bump when I posted about Exum before he was ever on a draft board.
PG_AB'd that ****.
