Following potential 2015 draftees

Winslow has some star potential. Looney doesn't really.

I still think Looney will end up something like Luol Deng, a decent rotation player.

Deng was a bit better than a decent rotation player. Averaged 16 and 6 for his career with really good defense. Unfortunately Thibs ruined his body.
 
Why do you think Looney is a stiff? I thought the same thing until I started viewing him as long wing. I think he plays a bigger position than his skillset so he appears bogged down.

He can't play on the wing in the NBA, consistently, imo.. I just do not see it.
 
I want to like Looney, but parts of his offensive game are brutal. When he drives, for instance, he'll just try to bogart through the defender and throws up a prayer.

My feelings exactly. If he had some more polish to his offensive game, I would absolutely be on board.
 
Winslow. Looney is a stiff.

Winslow=Kirk Snyder. Bust!

(Disclaimer: My dislike of Winslow is mostly irrational and unfounded. I looked at players who were to be drafted in the lottery and zeroed in on him as the player I would hate on. I am not usually arbitrary when it comes to my assessment of players.)

He'll be good.. but far from a sure thing. Same with Looney.
There are only a few can't miss players, imo.
 
I'll be the first to say it. D'Angelo has been playing meh against good competition. Against Louisville, UNC, and some of the tougher conference games, he's been mediocre at best. His lack of athleticism could be a real concern.
