Nah, being completely srs.
Stop with the trolling bro, you ain't any good at it.
If you aren't fan of the team, you can't say phrases like "our guys". Pretty well known rule.
He is a fan of the team.
Going to china? think it twice bro you might regret it

Yeah China's definitely not on my favourite destination list. People just aren't very accommodating and the food's just not to my taste (too bland). Also the political situation you have to be careful about where u can go and where u can't. What you can or can't do.
I'm definitely not paying good $ to go there unless I have to.

What cities did you go to?
I haven't been (and don't plan to). Just stories I've heard from friends who have visited.

I'd take Miami at 75/1 at if I was going for a long shot on that list. Portland at 45/1 isn't bad either.
Im calling 8th pick.

Ima say 11.
If its 8 I hope Kevon Looney is awesome this year and in that range. The Jazz still need an oversized SF (6'9" 220lbs 7'3" wingspan) Looney averaged 14 rebounds and 8 blocks per game this year and handles the ball on the perimeter...

Some compare him to KD, others i've read say hes more of just a versatile big SF moving forward, either way I think he's an obvious fit with this roster (If he plays as advertised).
Future150.com has him ranked higher than Okafor.

He can shoot, Its no Aaron Gordon situation. But as you can clearly see in that video his shot release is very slow, he must work on releasing the ball quicker.
If he were to somehow shoot the ball really well from 3 next year, 8 is probably too low for him, just because hes really built to affect the game in other area's (defense and rebounding)
Heres Givony's report on him from Sept. 2013
Recruiting Rankings: 247: #7, ESPN: #9, Scout: #9, Rivals: #11
Strengths:
-Solid frame. Big shoulders. Should be able to fill out nicely
-Good wingspan (7-1)
-Plays extremely hard
-Excellent rebounder
-Very competitive defensively
-Guards multiple positions
-Gets in passing lanes. Blocks shots
-Decent shooting mechanics. Can make a spot-up 3-pointer
-Uses shot fakes to open up driving lanes
-Unselfish player. Does all the little things. Doesn't mind doing the dirty work
Weaknesses:
-Somewhat stuck between the 3 and the 4 offensively
-Doesn't have a consistent means of scoring right now except via offensive glass
-Flat-footed jumper with a slow release
-Average ball-handler
-No left hand
-No real post game
He's grown since this report, 7'3 Wingspan and hes now at least 210lbs (was 183 2 summers ago)..
The thing is, he plays HS ball in Wisconsin so there was always a bit of knock against his competition... just look at these stats...
2013-14: 27.9 ppg, 12.7 rpg, 8.0 bpg, 5.0 apg | Senior (Hamilton)
2012-13: 26.1 ppg, 12.4 rpg, 7.0 bpg, 3.1 apg | Junior (Hamilton)
Im pretty sure his HS coach would tell you he's been playing PG. I think that Givony avoided a key point on that report though, Looney is pretty damn explosive, he appears to anticipate well, and get off the ground quickly(quick 2nd jump, just watch him rebound) .

Kinda reminds me of Giannis Lite.
When considering an athletic wing I always look to see if he/she can shoot it. Cos if you're athletic and has size for your position, defense & rebounding should come in time if you've got #hunger, but shooting may never come sadly for some (Al Faroug?).

Is Karl Towns playing for DR at the world cup??
Btw, this is the year (once every four) that UK can play preseason bb out of the country. We're playing in the Bahamas in just a few weeks.. several games. They will be televised on the SEC network. A good friend of mine streams every single UK game.. so I'll share a link to the stream if you like.. be a nice early look at one of the most deep and talented cbb teams in history.
