Following potential 2014 draftees

This description reminds me of how I perceived Thomas Robinson before the draft.

I was one of the few here who liked MCW because I could see that it was very easy for him to get to the rim and finish with authority. He plays above the rim. Even if he isn't able to hit the jumper, he has a variety of moves utilising his length, floater of the glass, etc. And on top of that, he is a top distributor - so if all else fail, he could do that.


At the PG position, Smart isn't a passer. He isn't a shooter. He isn't quick. Smart's main offensive move is backing down the opposing team's diminutive PG and laying it up. I don't need that from a PG. He also isn't an above the rim type player (he won't be Westbrook).


No thanks.

He could easily play with trey. I think he is more dwade light.

simmons is an idiot if he thinks parker can be everyday 4.

Wait till parker is 6 foot 9 and 280 lbs

Why does this draft have more talent than 2007? Because ESPN analysts are freaking out?

Well ya..... they get paid to evaluate talent.

If the dentist tells me I have a cavity then I believe him and get it fixed, i don't say "but I didn't have one last year so I probably don't have one now"

Haven't watched Smart play live. Just seen the clips.

Anyone have a good comparison? Rose? T Evans? Westbrook? Ronnie Price?

We need to start looking at the 5-8 range, and focusing on that now period.

I have always compared him to bledsoe and tyreke

Does anyone else see the Wiggins-Rudy Gay Comparision?

Very good athletes- Very long and thin coming into the league.

Maybe more importantly both don't have natural aggression of a Jordan or Kobe.

Gay had a slighty more consistent jumper in college. I see Wiggins as a better driver and finisher.

Wiggins is on another level of defense though.

I'm glad Bill and Jalen are calling this draft class over-rated. It's about time. Talented class? Yes. LeBrons? No.

And since there might not be a big drop-off in talent through the lottery, we can feel OK about winning a few games. Phew.

Yeah but I'd still rather be picking in the 1-5 range though... outside of that and there's a pretty big drop-off, tbh.

Maybe if more people talk about being overrated then some of the tankers won't tank as hard which would help the jazz too

BTW, bottom 2 record guarantees you top 5 pick. That's where we need to be, tbh. We've come this far - can't falter now.

I can't read what you're actually trying to say here.
