Following potential 2015 draftees

[Game6Conley]

They all get compared to the best in the league of that type of player. Nobody is the next D.J. Augustin or the next Steve Blake.

At the same time though try to go somewhere on the internet and post bizarre creative player comparisons and people are sure to fight you tooth and nail over it. Just look at NBAdraft.net their infamous for those player comps. There's some doozies on the DX page too. I like doing the rich man's poor mans cop out, Malik Newman next year reminds me of a Rich mans Jerryd Bayless.

My player comparison for Cam Payne might very well be "If Lou Williams was a good PG" Lillard is clearly more explosive, not crazy about that one.

If Philadelphia calls and offers #3 for Exum what do we say?

Idk.. I really like D'Angelo Russell, dude is going to be a legit star.

You do it and you ask if they want next year's first as well just because you feel so guilty for taking them to the woodshed like that.

*******.

Btw, I remember when you first started pimping this kid. He was being mocked bottom of the first and some even had him 2nd round.

Wasn't he mocked late lottery in last years draft before he backed out?

 

[orangello]

By time draft day comes porz is likely to be ten feet tall and have lightening bolts that come put of his eyes.


For reals though I'm buying the hype.

Don't worry, Exum will be a true 7 ft PG by the time the season starts. He'll shut down Porzingis no problem.

Walt Perrin on local TV. He seems to like Oubre and Lyles if he's being transparent.

Lol. So he says Kaminsky's agent tells the Jazz his client won't come because he expects to be drafted befor the jazz's pick, but didn't Kaminsky workout for the Suns? Last I checked the Suns pick after the Jazz. Anyone find this strange? For some reason makes me think the Jazz are trying to throw a smokescreen as if they really want Frank. Thoughts.

U think he's a star. I don't so no I don't do it.

So he is going to wait until he gets drafted to go eat ice cream and get fat?

Yes, this is clearly implied.

Ugh, Rod Zundell. Why can't he just ask an open ended question? Instead, he answers for Perrin:

Zundell: "it was because his agent didn't think he'd fall that far, right?"
Perrin: "uh, yeah"

Zundell is so dumb. Doesn't even know that Kaminsky worked out for the 13th pick - which makes his proxy answer for Perrin totally incorrect.

I hate the news media we have here. Man, the questions they ask, the lack of knowledge they have - and this is their job! I feel like Deron Williams right now.

Why would Kaminsky want to go to a team that has Favors/Gobert/Booker? That's not an easy lineup to crack. Kanter was losing mins to those guys. Don't take it so personal.

Offensively minded big man(20-10 guy) that doesn't play great D gets sidelined. Don't ya think that gives Kaminsky's agent pause?

From DX's latest mock draft on Stanley Johnson:

"After trading for Ersan Ilyasova and plugging a major need at the power forward position, the Pistons can now look to address the other glaring hole in their starting lineup at small forward. Despite some questionable background reports, Johnson has outstanding potential as a defender and is a developing shooter, which is something the Pistons could absolutely use."

Anyone know what's up with this?

I heard rumors he hangs out at In & Out Burger. Probably drinking milkshakes and getting fat. . .

 

[Doublea]

Kinda like Oubre today, I think he has to go a perfect fit of a team for him to succeed though.

 

[The Midnight]

If I were the Kings give me Randle and swap picks with LA and I'd do it.


Grab Porzingis. Randle and Porzingis gives you that dynamic frontcourt George Karl is well known for.

I'm not bothered by Kaminsky not visiting the jazz. That's not what my post was about. My irritation was at Zundell for being an idiot. I would have liked him to just ask Perrin why didn't Kaminsky work out for the Jazz - and then wait for Perrin's reply. Instead he feeds Perrin an answer - one that's completely ignorant and stupid. And what's Perrin gonna do "oh, wait just a minute there - Kaminsky worked out for the Suns who pick after the Jazz so his not working out for us was not because his agent didn't think he'd fall that far. It was because he must hate us." **** man. You went to the trouble to bring Perrin on the air - let HIM answer the questions. Not you. Especially when you don't know what the **** you're talking about. Otherwise why the **** is he there? Do some research and if there's stuff you don't know then just ask AND WAIT FOR THE ANSWER.

Again, don't misunderstand. I'm irritated with the morons that make up most of the Utah sports media. And, continuing this theme, Adam Mikelich on talkin sports happened to comment that the Jazz a couple years ago had the 2nd pick. Which was wrong, but not as annoying because he wasn't interviewing an expert or a Jazz rep. He was talking to PK - who I hate most of all. (although PK did correct Mikelich - so he's not an idiot) (the reason I hate PK is not because he's stupid. I hate him because he never talks sports - he's always too busy TRYING to be funny and failing miserably).

umm... that front gets absolutely abused. You're either insulting Karl or............
