Do the professionals get it right every single time? Why should everyone turn off their brains and have blind trust and faith in so called professionals?
Basketball isn't rocket science. A 5 year old child can watch the game and tell you who is doing good and who isnt.
It's also a lot of luck picking draftees. So called professionals can sink thousands of man hours into scouting and still pick a bust. No one can perfectly predict how a player will develop.
And also, a lot of people around here have been watching, playing, and discussing basketball for a long time, and know a thing or two about the game. Just because you can't analyze the game and players, doesn't mean we cant.
So you feel that saying "he can't, he can't, he sucks, he can't, he's awful at this, he can't" is good analysis? Then he comes out and shows all the things this person/these people says he can't do, and not a word from these people? You may call it analyzing and I agree, but it's wrong analysis plain and simple. Where is the analysis of things he CAN do? I see none of that besides "I hope you're right". Again one sided bad analysis. And in all reality, I don't think you can get much of an analysis off of summer league games in the first place. People act like what a 19 year old has shown, in basically practice, is set in stone. I understand we have nothing else to go off of, but point still stands. Overreacting at this point is just that, overreacting.
You say these people know basketball but can't find any positives that came out of summer camp, when coaches and players alike are saying different? Again, I agree he has flaws and much to work on, but that's different than saying "he can't, he sucks". The other game a poster was on here basically crapping on every move he made. Then Lyles hits a 3, and drives hard to the basket for a nice layup, and he disappeared until Lyles turned the ball over, just to degrade him again. Can you tell me with an honest face that this person doesn't have a motive?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about people with concerns, I'm talking about the people that constantly bash the guy, and see no good in his game. I appreciate a good analysis, but again I don't find that as good analysis in the least. I see it as going too much off emotions. People hated the Hayward pick, now these same people own his jersey. As I've said that's fickle, I see it with all my sports teams, and how fans are so quick to **** on a player, before even giving them a chance.
