never at anypoint did i have Otto Porter Jr infront of Bennett, nor did i ever at anypoint have Bennett outside of my top 4...

i had #1Len, #2Shabazz, 3a Noel, 3b Anthony Bennett

Anthony Bennett is how much worse than Julius Randle again? several tiers? LOL

who will bennett guard???... whoever the coach asks him too

i can remember PKM saying he had work ethic issues and might fall near or outside of the top 10,

infact the context was about Bennett to the Kings at 7 and PKM said he heard hes got Work Ethic issues, so hed fit perfectly in Sacramento

as ive been saying since my first post about bennett, isnt it unusual someone of that size can shoot and dribble so well, (hes been able to do that for years too, not some new skill).

Victor Oladipo is 3/2 to win the RoY, this time last year no one would have considered him a lottery pick...

trey burke is 4:1 to win RoY
Otto Porter is 8:1
Anthony Bennett is 10:1
Ben Mclemore is 10;1

and the field is 6:1 vs those players

Hey Bro, are you a bookmaker?

nope im actually a bookmakers worst nightmare...im well read, i follow betting lines, i like #'s

as ive stated before, since my teenage years i can bet on EVERY nba game, EVERY night and it will play out to over 60% win percentage

if you count absolutely perfect blackjack(on a table with favorable penetration) you can take the house advantage from a few % points, to Negative 7.5%

i can do better than that betting on the NBA, piss drunk(and i dont drink), my advantage is actually closer to 15%, and honestly if i was still into it id be much better now and probably would think whatever i was doing a few years back was shallow and pedantic

like i also have said 1,000,000x i have made so many unlikely picks, involving all sorts of caveats, that basically u cant tell me **** about ****

ive hit 11/11 games in one night several times.... 13/13 once

i barely gamble anymore, i retired when i was 22...

Word out of Washington DC from Kevin Durrants Nike Game:

  • 1 NBA source in attendance believes Jabari is as good or better than Andrew Wiggins, the consensus top prospect in the class.
  • Wrote about the highly-anticipated 2014 NBA Draft yesterday. Related: Simeon's Jabari Parker, an incoming freshman at Duke was at Kevin Durant's Nike camp in DC. Heard he stole the show, even held his own playing with/against KD.

also id like to add that Julius Randle isnt much bigger than Parker... (i just realized this)

Jabari Parker
Height*: 6’8
Weight: 241
Reach: 8’8
Wingspan: 7’0

Julius Randle
Height*: 6’9
Weight: 248
Reach: 8’9.5
Wingspan: 6’11

^^^ is what they measured at the Nike Hoops Summit

Duke is gonna be very tough next season

i was under the impression Parker was 215, as hes been listed near for quite sometime

at the Euro Summit he measured 241lbs..... who knew?

at the 2013 summit Wiggins was on the world team who cruised to a victory,

parker had more FGA's(23) than points(22)... on 1-9 3point shooting

to me the best player on the court that day(other than Schroder, who stole the show), wasnt Wiggins or Parker, it was Karl Towns Jr
 
I'd say that, right now, Jabari is better than Wiggins.. but Wiggins just has too much.... he will be talked about with the likes of James and Jordan within 5 years. (And Jabari a perennial all star)

Karl Towns is going to be extremely fun to watch. Incredibly skilled (at everything) for a Very young 7'1 guy.
 
We're all wrong from time to time. I have a great track record of projecting players but certainly miss some.

Having said that, I stand by what I have said about Bennett. I think him at a #1 pick is a joke. I like him a lot.. but I liked him around 9/10.
I didn't even like him at 4/5.

I think he's more a novelty. Average defender, good shot/not elite, and not quick enough to guard most SF's.
I see him getting his **** stuffed at the rim quite a bit.

Again, I'm not calling him a bust or even hating on him..... I'm hatin on CLE.

His shot is pretty damn elite for a big...just sayin. He is super explosive, strong and long so totally disagree with you on the poster boy comment. He totally faded the last half of the year and I hated on him for that, but it became known that he was injured during that same stretch. He was beasting against some good competetion before league play and id like to believe that is more of the Bennett we will see in the NBA baring further injuries which is my biggest concern with him.

I respect your position. I doubt we're even as far apart as it sounds.. most of my angst if more about the draft positiin than the player...... but I hated every single player at #1 in this draft... its like there were a bunch of guys that are like a 6/7, but no top 5 guys.

So, again, I like Bennett and think he'll be a good, but not great, pro.
 
My guess is the Cavs want to play a lot of small ball with Thompson at center and Bennett as a stretch 4. Or perhaps they aren't really enamored with Thompson and would secretly like to move him. He puts up acceptable numbers, but don't know if he is a starting PF on a contending team.
