Following potential 2015 draftees

has a quick release.

Not in that video

Holy ****. That's a top-10 player in the league.

Depends on if he can defend.

 

[fishonjazz]

I love Hood, but would be willing to trade him with #12 to move up for Winslow or Russell.

Without a doubt. Especially for Russell. That's a no brainer.

The other team would say hell no though

 

[sgjazzfan]

Good point. I agree with you. Still, id like to see how he shoots in a bigger sample size.

Watching that video, I'd be shocked if he was over 30% from NBA 3 point range. Just doesn't have any touch and shot isn't smooth at all.

Depends on if he can defend.

Harden can't defend. He is a top ten player.
Curry doesn't play much D. He is the league mvp.

Dirk nowitzki was not known for his defensive skills. I think he was top ten in his prime.

Don't start this again

Curry defends well. Harden is better than people realize, particularly this last year and Nowitzki played d at his peak.

Lol.
Just saying that good defense is not a requirement to being considered a top ten player.

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

What would make russell not be able to defend as well as harden or curry?

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

This shows you dont know. I mean that as respectfully as i can.

You don't have to be a great defender to be a top 10 player.

But your team better be able to play defense. Or you aren't going to win ****!

Harden could win a title with the right supporting cast. There is no doubt about that.

Curry is going to win a title because he has Bogut and Draymond to help play some defense. Without those two pieces I seriously doubt they'd win the championship.

Curry is a pretty good defender himself though. He's just not thought of being one. He was in the top 5 in steals. Even number 1 for a while. He plays hard and has a great motor.
