I would say Marvin was a more consistent contributor though, and his body was obviously more NBA ready. Atlanta kind of regrets taht pick though.

And his game dropped significantly in conference play. That is a big red-flag that the player gets overwhelmed by competition.

Backtracking, how typical. Yeah but yeah but yeah but....
LOL.
The point is, Marvin wasn't a starter and contributed immediately to the NBA. True, it's probably more of the exception than the rule. But it sort of blows up your point that a player who doesn't start in college won't contribute immediately to the NBA.
Lastly, there are literally only 2-3 players (David Lee, cp3, d will)that Atlanta probably wishes they had taken instead of Marvin. Altogether, he wasn't that bad of a pick.
For the lazy.. who we tawkin?
A lot of it has to do with the physique more than anything with Lavine. I just don't see him playing much at that size. Not sure they even feel confident enough in his ball handling ability and decision making to play backup point.

If you had actually read what you wrote, I wasn't talking about what you predicted, I just mentioned that you had said if the Jazz drafted Hayward you would become a Thunder fan. Unfortunately, you're still here.
Google Marvin Williams
Have a good night
That really worked out well…didn't it?
I don't really want a player like Marvin Williams in this draft.
Also, Williams was 6'9 and 230 pounds when he left UNC…he was physically developed. He also played on a stacked team. LaVine does not play on a stacked team, nor is he physically developed. I think even you can see why using Marvin Williams is a poor argument.
Can't wait to see how many Monte Morris gets tomorrow
I trust yu got dat bro.

You're probably right but let's see. Let's not just discount those interested in him as merely being enamored with a few of his good games. That's my point. It's his potential. If he works on his body and develops his game, he'll be a very good player. I'm not sure Trey Burks would even be able to get a jumpshot off against him.
Randle would win it in the paint. Gordon on the perimeter. Both, barely.
The teammates are everything.
Even though Gordon isn't the strongest guy in the post, he generally does a good job of keeping players posted out of deep post.
Deep post fetish. Tbh

well good thing scouts have been at 88/100 UCLA practices watching him.
His Physique is within 5 lbs of Brandon Knight's, Jeremy Lamb's, Dante Exum's MCW's, Tim Hardaway Jr's Ricky Rubio's George Hill's Avery Bradley's, Steph Curry's Jrue Holliday's and Jeff Teague's hes within 9lbs of Westbrook, Ben McLemore, Damien Lillard, Elfrid Payton so if thats really your main concern. you can stop worrying about his weight theres plenty of precedent of players his size recently having success. you're making a mountain out of a molehill
also lots of these 180-190lb guys werent freshman like Zach..
