Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

More talented players have busted out because they didn't have the mind to play. I'm not suggesting White is going to go Luther Wright on us, but to me, any report of a personality or mental disorder of any kind needs to be looked at seriously.

Seriously, he has an anxiety problem, and we're not supposed to be at all concerned about him playing at the highest level of competition on earth in from of millions of people?

I didn't say it's no cause for concern. I said it's over-blown. Kid was ballin' this year and was very impressive in his NCAA game against UK. NO fear, at all. I like him .. not saying he's a sure-thing at the next level, but he has a very interesting skillset for a big guy .. he played PG (brought the ball up and initiated the offense .. not necessarily in a 'pure' PG role) for Iowa State and did it impressively.

You mean he is not going to back down to the Duncan/Garnett/Howard/Stoudemire/James of the league? Maybe we should draft him just so that he can work with Jefferson.

He has no anxiety about competition that I have seen. He was visually challenging TJones to guard him. He's a tough matchup. Okay, enough on White because I'm not pushing him, was only discussing and he became THE topic. Back to us having no picks. :/

I still like White as an early 20's to late first rounder pick. Although, if we did have a very late first rounder, then I would go after DMiller instead. Then laugh at the Spurs.

**** that, I'm pushing him. From all the interviews I have seen of him he seems like a good guy with his head in the right place. If we get a pick in the 20's and he is there, I take him over anyone. He is a risk because his style of play is so different, but picking in the 20's isn't safe, no matter who you pick. I would even take him over Quincy Miller.

Also, as PKM said, he was ballin' this year. He hadn't played competitive basketball in 2 years before this year and he was still very good.

I hate to agree with you on anything but I also agree that White could be this years Faried in the fact that he can come in and immediately contribute and that his skill set will be better than previously thought. If we were to trade Millsap, White would be a great replacement for him.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Rather have Millsap.

And Faried isn't that good.

If I had anything against mental disorders, I would have still been a virgin at 25 years old.

Am I the only person who read this and thought pkm is taking advantage of mentally disabled women?

Hahaha, I do now.

I just thought he was talking about sleeping with crazy women, which is the case for most women.

I prefer the term psycho.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Great article. Anyone who thinks otherwise is morally BK.
