You must have missed where I already said that.
Ya see, it fooled the stupid twitter dude because he thought it was Jeff Goodman, when the twitter account said Jeff Goodmam. I know it wasn't that funny, I just wanted to see who it would fool. Looks like you were one of 'em.

Okafor is a stud. I would still say that if he wasn't going to Duke.
Playing with a real PG in Tyus Jones is going to help him, and he certainly needs work on his defensive fundamentals, but he has nice length and post moves.
He's more mini-Duncan than he is Al 2.0

I honestly, didn't read his twitter handle. I was just seeing if it was true or not tbh..
Then you said I hate to be the one to do this. Which made it seem even more real.

Just made this Julius Randle picture for fun. 
Would rep if I could. Prolly the best laugh I'll have today.

I want this password for the UGLI forum where such shenanigans are planned. I'm a very experienced troll. I'll even write an application.
agree depending on where the first Jazz pick falls.
42.3% on 3.5 trys? I've seen his stroke. It looks similar to Bosh's. His motion doesn't start with the ball right at his chest, he dips it down a little to his hips and alters his grip.
Jumping motion is smooth. Controls his elbows. Size will allow him to get it off with reasonable seperation.
13.1% TO ratio is kind of good for a big. Don't look at his avg BBIQ, look at the improvements he's done. I'll tell again. Dude has some serious learning disability. And I'm not talking he needs an extra hour to get something, he needs an extra day. Tells about his work ethic I guess...
Were not gonna need Payne when we draft Randle.
But Randle is a SF
Oh wait. I shouldn't start this....TOO LATE
To be mini Duncan he'd have to become a 2 way player. Has ways to go to get there. As long as he doesn't I feel Al Jefferson with a better personality is a reasonable projection.

Fixed.
Seriously though. Bigs take time to develop, or they have limited upside. We have bigs. Lets get wings and trade what we need to to ensure they're BPA.

That is SA-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!
Too long, don't read... and not even really relevant, but bite me.
KSR (Kentucky Sports Radio) recently received the following guest post from a well-known celebrity who, for the sake of anonymity, we will call an “award-winning producer.” This person is not a longtime Kentucky basketball fan, nor are they from the state of Kentucky. They have just been following the Cats from afar with respect for what John Calipari is doing in Lexington, and wanted to share their thoughts with Big Blue Nation.
Teaching is the most noble profession, and being innovative, let alone successful, while in the public light creates an enormous amount of jealousy.*‘One and done’ is a media made expression that is simplistic because it is designed to create negative connotations while giving short shift to the families and children. Yes, I consider 18-year-old young men, children, almost all from diverse backgrounds; the criticism negates the reality of their lives, whether the child comes from a poor home or just wants to follow his dream, love and passion.
I don’t think any rational person could argue that all kids wouldn’t be emotionally, socially and culturally better off in many ways by enjoying the college experience for a longer period of time. Nor can anyone intelligently say, under the right coach, kids don’t learn more and improve their game by remaining in college. But these are the rules and the circumstances, so along comes John Calipari, a proven winner with flair and style, whose achievements are too often overlooked because of his SUCCESS.
He has to have steel balls and an iron stomach. If he truly is the poster boy then he has had to reinvent himself, redesign his team and his students, reteach himself every year without losing his enthusiasm and passion. That’s quite an achievement in a culture of ‘expectations.’The game has always had rebellious winners who have gone against the grain; however, the barriers, which a Frank McGuire faced, bringing NYC Catholic and Jewish players to the south in the mid-1950s, or Don Haskins, starting five black kids at a Texas school in the mid-1960s, or John Thompson, whose entire team was comprised of African-American kids in the 1970s and 80s, causing nasty racist backlash are over.So, who is the successful pioneer today that losers need to be critical of? John Calipari. He shares the characteristics of these other three Hall of Famers.*
He has gone against the grain of popular belief and he has WON. Eight of ten coaches wouldn’t have won with the same talent. It’s one thing for the ‘conductor’ to recruit the best orchestra in the world, it’s an entirely different thing for those horns, those violins and cellos to be in harmony. Point is, ‘one and done’ is meaningless. It’s media made and robs the coach and his players of the true teachings, efforts, obstacles, and challenges, and those are real.It’s difficult enough to be 17 or 18 , leave home, live elsewhere, start school, be thrown into hugely competitive waters, let alone be taught and learn to lose your individuality to be part of a championship. This is what Calipari does, year after year, season after season. All the hype around ‘the Fab Five’… Guess what? They didn’t win. Kentucky has won and, frankly, even if they don’t capture the title this weekend, they WON. They have accomplished something deeper. They all learned lessons, coaches, players and families which will stay with them for the remainder of their lives. ‘One and done’ is bullsh-t. What isn’t is ‘work ethic,’ ‘selflessness,’ ‘giving,’ ‘teaching,’ and ‘character.’
That is Calipari’s legacy. I’m sure if he was around in the 50s and 60s and 70s, he would have departed from the status quo to truly embrace his students in different ways.*I hope these kids who experience him understand at a certain point of their lives the opportunity to learn and grown he has given them.

I guess a few bullet points would have been nice.
It's written by Jerry Bruckheimer... and written well enough that bullet points can't remotely capture it.
Besides, I heard from an old wise sage to use paragraphs. Did that.
