Following potential 2012 draftees

[Stoked]

LMAO

Now I know why stoked is the way she is. She thinks she is case working peoples asses around here.

HAHA.

Actually I enjoy my job. I get to mess with people all day long. They get out of line and I get to have them arrested. Very satisfying.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Overview: One of the League’s most talented and versatile forwards. Doesn’t always play up to his potential. Can play a number of different positions, but has largely become a power forward at this point. Has developed his frame and has excellent length. Athletic, but not quite to the point that it helps define his game. Shows a very good first step. More fluid and skilled than explosive. Possesses a smooth left handed stroke with NBA range. Doesn’t always shoot a consistent percentage from deep. Capable of bringing the ball up the floor and playing a point forward role. Handles the ball as well as most point guards. Uses his size as an advantage when distributing the ball. Shows decent post skills, and can play down low when asked to. Shows good hustle on the defensive end, and does a great job boxing out. Very good fit for the triangle offense. Intended to play his college ball at UNLV, but had his scholarship withdrawn after numerous scandals surrounding the program surfaced. Needed only a single season at Rhode Island to push his stock to the top of the lottery. Has had a handful of setbacks in his career, especially in the form of injuries. Used to have some problems with drugs, but is past that at this point. Had a rough childhood, and has suffered numerous personal losses throughout his playing career. Definitely maturing as a person as his career goes on. Maturation shows on the court as well. Could stand to become more consistent, but is the type of team player that brings a different dimension to the game when on the floor. Has a tendency to fade in and out of games mentally at times and get very passive—tough to know what you’re going to get night in and night out, but also very tough to argue with his incredible talent.

Offense: A very versatile player who gets offense from spot ups, fast breaks, isolations, post ups, offensive boards, and by moving without the ball. Can play virtually every position on the offensive end due to his vast array of skills. Possesses a smooth lefty jumper with inconsistent range out past the three point line. Decent catch and shoot player. Average shooter off the dribble. Great ball handler. A real mismatch facing the basket and taking power forwards off the dribble, especially in the early offense. Tremendous court vision and passing ability. Likes to get to the rim when driving left, much better here than going right. Solid finisher around the rim. Good transition player. Can score in the post, especially on the left block. Very capable distributor and high post player. Brings a lot to the table due to his ability to create matchup problems in almost every scenario. Decision making isn’t always the best.

Defense: A very talented defender who can matchup with a few different positions. Can guard both forward spots effectively, but is also able to defend most guards when he gets switched onto them. Will block some shots around the rim, play passing lanes, and make an effort to collect loose balls. Length helps him stay in front of his man and create turnovers. Will box out and grab a lot of rebounds—which is one of his strong points. Very capable on the defensive end. Plays more aggressive defense than offense. Commits quite a few fouls.

Well maybe if you actually watched the games you would know. He just isn't as skilled as Odom is/was with the ball. I also don't think he is as fluid as Odom is on the perimeter. I see Jones as a Al Harrington, Michael Beasely, Derrick Williams, Antwan Jamison type player.

He isn't a guy you can just give the ball and ask him to create like you can Odom.

I think PKM would agree with me.

What kind of job is that?
I see you say you are a case worker, but of what sort?
I am assuming that you are a social worker of some sort, but there may be other kinds of case workers.
What sort of cases do you typically deal with?

 

[northeast]

Hahaha, I see the gender attack there. Good stuff, BR, good stuff.

So thinking someone is female is an attack? Isn't that a sexist attack in its own right?

 

[Qman]

I have to agree with everyone else Odom is very different player than T. Jones. Personally I see T. Jones as a slight more athletic and better ball handling Jeff Green. He doesn't really fit with our current roster but IMO T. Jones will be a good NBA player.

When he KNOWS he's a dude, yes.

Pretty much agree with that. He can attack off the dribble a little better than I think you're suggesting, but it's a meh of a difference.

This went from the best thread on the board to the worst in about 4 days.

Lmfao

Northeast just did to you PKM what stoked did to me. Hahaha. It's so funny. Then you try to explain it to him.

I think only me and PKM actually know what's going on.

If you don't like how this thread is trending, just check back in a few days .. it will be completely diiferent, almost assuredly.

Lets talk about the treasure hunt that PKM is planning and what information he already has.

It is your turn PKM, fill us in.

It might take longer than that. I could keep this thing derailed for at least a month.

I know better. I could show pics, finds, etc .. but I'd be accused of everything under the sun. PM me an email address if you'd like to see some stuff and I'll take some pics in the next couple days and share.

Cry a river you skank. You are obviously are joking with every post so when I mess with you I could care less if it upsets you.


To whoever asked what I do I work for the Feds. I deal with insane, whacko nutjobs all day and it is some funny ****.

You know a guy .. Ryan M.? Don't ask .. if it doesn't immediately ring a bell .. let's just move it along.

Not in my area. So moving along.

 

[Dr. Jones]

For Bodhi .. back to topics.

Interesting tidbit on Jones is that he is 4th all-time at UK in blocks per game. Behind only Davis, Bowie, and Magloire. Not bad for a 3/4 tweener.

Done and Done

PKM, I have noticed that you have been silent about Kyle O'Quinn. What are your thoughts?

I am not suggesting that the Jazz select O'Quinn over Miller in the 2nd round, but he could be a good pick up to fill out the role of a 4th or a 5th big. Thoughts?

I think he could be very good. Obviously has the length and seems to have good IQ. I've only been quiet because most of the kids in the draft I've watched for years and personally met almost half, I'd say .. but I know little first-hand with Kyle and don't want to give anyone the impression I have the same type of strong opinion as I do most others.

So .. having said all that, he's certainly intriguing, I'm a tiny bit worried about his athleticism/explosiveness .. but those things also concerned me a bit with Cousins and Kanter .. so, I like him, about where the mocksters seem to.
