Following potential 2014 draftees

I think you have to play him as a do-it-all SF and use him as a secondary ball handler, a bit like Hayward. I don't think he'll be able to contain PGs and SGs defensively. He could maybe play some PF in small-ball scenarios. Think like a more skilled Robert Horry after Horry lost some athleticism.

I agree with you. My question is how do we get him those kind of touches when we're already playing Hayward, Burke, and Burks?

Having multiple guys who can create is not a problem. Burke/Hayward/Anderson/Randle/Favors should be just fine.

it can be a problem if they don't know how to work effectively without the ball in their hands.

It's also going to be a problem because Anderson will be on a different team. I really hope Burke doesn't develop a habit of passing to him.

We're not drafting him.

One thing that sucks about dogs. Im gonna have see my boy die one day anf i dont know how ima handle it

I cried like a baby when I put down(cancer) my black lab. I am not ashamed one bit about admitting it. I have a golden who is getting up and age and I know in the near future I will have to do the same thing. I have loved all my dogs but my golden is the only dog I got as a puppy. He is a part of my family, he has helped me though some tough times. He is the most adorable loving kind being I have ever met. He is always happy to see me. I know the tears will come no matter how hard I try to stop them. It is going to be ugly. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.... Ok I am better.

Dogs are great and they love you more unconditionally then any person does. So it is ok to just the river flow when the time comes, you don't lose any of your manhood for doing so. ;).

Play him like Boris Diaw in his Sun's days. I think KA is basically a more talented, longer Boris Diaw. Also, he appears to be developing a 3-point shot much earlier in his career than Diaw did.
 
If Royce White went 16th overall two years ago after a good NCAA run, Anderson goes at least that high. Yes, this draft is good upfront, but it is just a normal draft everywhere else.

This draft is a little deeper than you give it credit for. I am not convinced, for example, that anyone in last year's draft would even be in the top ten this year. Maybe not even top 12.

Last year was a weak draft. This is a normal draft with 1-2 elite talents in the front.

****in Wiggins. Dude would change this franchise forever.

Anybody who argues Jabari>Wiggins needs to commit themselves.

You sound like the 8 teams that passed on Kobe, Deputy Darko.
 
Is it just me or do they use a LOT of the Stanford game for the negatives?

I didn't perceive these guys as unfair in their evaluations. THis game simply showed a lot of his weaknesses in its worst form.
When I focus on a player I take a blank sheet and and a pen and I write down a lot of quick notes. After seeing the player I summarize the whole notes into a more educated and useful text. Sometimes I revisit scenes because my handwriting indicates something.
I guess they had their full scouting report next to them and during the Stanford game they saw him make a move/or not make a move and they simply x'd the points off the list and made references which playing time they occured so they can make a highlight reel of stereotypical moves.
