Also, kkk..

I spoke with a UK assistant that said Tai "has a very cool accent, and speaks a slang that I have no idea what he's talking about." lol

This is funny, cause I just saw on a college hoops board that one of the UK rivals reporters "reported" that Tal has a a really great accent.

I'm sure it came from the assistant though. ;)
 
All right bros, time educate me. Sounds like everyone wants a shooter, the dream scenario is Russell. A PG, so we need another one? His speciality is raining threes? Who would you compare him too? Curry? Have you given up on Exum or do you see him as a SG? If Russell is a top 3 pick then who are we realistically looking at in the 7-12 range where we will be picking? Don't really know anything about prospects this year, it's not like last, I'm rooting for wins every game. But a nice pick will be nice come draft time.

Probly gonna win the lottery tbh.

People are comparing Russell to Steph and I don't think its a great comp. He's a better passer than Steph was at this point and is bigger. I don't think he, or anyone, will have the shot that Curry does. Russell is really good and I think can float between 1 and 2 in the pros, so Exum and him will both work. Running two guards who can shoot and pass is an advantage and I think both can guard both positions.

If we don't get Russell then most want Stanley Johnson. Someone compared him to Ron Artest and I liked it... although he isn't bat **** crazy and he can shoot.

7-12 is a crap shoot. There are some that are championing Booker out of UK. He is a knock down shooter... people comparing him to Klay. Oubre is interesting, Hezonja could be good, and Porzingis could be there... kind of a crap shoot. We need to get in the top 3 or start losing more... tonight would be a good start.

True Story.

Tai Wynyards New Zealand basketball team is called, "The Tall Blacks."

wtf?

NZ national rugby team's nickname is the "All Blacks" -- likely because of their uniforms, though a bit of uncertainty involving the origin story.

"Tall Blacks" for basketball team is surely just derivative from this.

I don't root for losses during the game, but when we lose I console myself with the fact that we are improving draft position. Its tough though logically to not root for losses... the talent in the top 5 is much better than what is left later.

Haha.. that's very cool bro. When you've got a chance you should ask Tai if he speaks "Maori"? Here's a story about Tai signing with UK in Maori (NZ native language)
