Following potential 2013 draftees

Back to the main point though, if a player has done a good job of defending everyone he has faced up to a certain point, you can't really call him a bad defender. You can say unproven, but to declare him bad, as if it were proven fact, is just irresponsible judgement.

I'm not though. Wolters has some stuff. I think he might have it, but if I dont know what it is, how can I be sure?

Well that's my point. What he doesn't have, is simply "it".

 

[Hantlers]

If the guy "didn't have it" in college, it's just too risky to say he'll suddenly "have it" in the NBA.

Unless it is skin tone, I think you don't know what you are talking about.

Well that's the whole point I was trying to make.

I say he's "guilty until proven innocent".

You say he's "innocent until proven guilty".

The evidence is the same, it's how you approach evaluating the whole package.

Paul George says hello.

The miracle of God helped him grow 5 inches in 6 months.

I'm glad you're just a troll and not actually this stupid.

I was being serious.

I agree with him. You don't wanna take someone, giving him the benefit of the doubt. You need to evaluate him before taking that stigma away.
But then again, sometimes you have to gamble and hope for the best.

Guys.. not sure why this is such a big deal. All I'm trying to say is I'd rather err on the side of caution when looking guys who I don't think will be athletic enough to survive the grueling NBA physicality.

Case in point is Jimmer. Lacking athleticism, vision and passing, I doubt he'll ever be more than a 2nd string PG - and that is such a waste considering somebody actually picked him in the lotto.

Praise the Lord somebody finally gets it! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
