Following potential 2014 draftees

Pkmoe is like that kid in elementary school with older brothers that teaches the other kids all the swear words and about boobs and stuff.

You've shown me 3 post ups plays, in 2 of which the defense sucked so hard I could hear them choke all over the Atlantic. The 3rd move was good by PArker, but defense was pretty ****ty as well. Yet it was a good move that could translate against good players.

I'm done with this. Freakin foreigners.

Yeah its a little ridiculous that we are pigeon-holing the games of 18 year olds before they've even finished their freshman campaigns. I think people should use this time to observe, not judge. Just keep things at the back of your mind, try to track any improvement-- and then come forth with some postulations come draft-time.

I'm actually observing. I'm just saying he has shown nothing/little right now and I have doubts that he'll get there anytime soon.
It's just that I disagree with others and that leads me to browse through his highlights to see if my point has weaknesses.

The jist of it is that BTP is saying that Parker has no post-game, and is unathletic. When he was shown video-evidence of said post-game, he is saying it that it was against poor defense-- conveniently ignoring the fact that Duke has played 5 games (mostly against unranked teams), and the ability to take advantage of poor-defense is a valuable skill; particularly when you take into account that the NBA isn't full of Larry Sanders post-defense savants.


I don't mind BTP either-- he just seems to have this pre-occupation with being 'right' and accusing another poster of being 'wrong'. The tone of his basketball-analyzing posts tends to come across as condescending at times, and its unfortunate because clearly he spends time studying the game.

You know at top of mount olympus it's really hard not to be condescending ;)
I just have a different opinion and I'm just presenting mine as aggressive as most others do their own.
Actually there's a lot of Larry Sanders in the NBA, that's what's most worrisome to me.
I'm just standing by my opinion that the defense against his post situations was so poor, it would make Bargs and Bosh look like DPOY.
BTW I really like suffering punches! Legitimates my aggressiveness and exaggeration. I just wanna say I don't polemize ;) I don't need exaggeration to make my point, just to support it and make reading it more fun.

Lol.

Where to start....

First of all, Parker doesn't NEED a post game to be effective. The fact that he has one at all at this age is awesome.

Secondly, people with no post games can't post anyone, no matter how inferior.

That's why you see so often when announcers are like, "oh, so and so has a mismatch, he needs to go down low and post him up" it's like, no bro that dude couldn't post up my grandma.

If you Cant play in the post, it's pretty obvious.

Totally agree and I said the part about not needing a postgame all the time ;)
Also agree on when not practicing post game don't try it at all. But being good at it doesn't mean you're going to be good at it against EVERY competition. Not saying that you've claimed that, as you haven't. Just wanted to add that!

This is stupid.

Is Parker going to be able to post up Favors, SANDERS!, or those other big guys? Not very well.

Is Parker going to be able to post up the majority of the SF's in the league? Probably.

:D I like how you take that literally. The name was called by someone else and I just used it as a metaphore for good defensive BIGs if you read my name carefully. I don't see him backing down LeBron, George, Deng, Iggy, Wilson Chandler, Leonard, Smove, Batum, Durant, MKG, Ariza, Barnes and last but not least small forward Julius Randle to steer the thread in a different direction and secure (tk)³'s support.
Just my prognosis. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, maybe he decides to get stronger after half a decade in the league like other all-nba calibre players did.

I can see him backing down most of those players, except for Julius Randle who is a beast in the post.
