Following potential 2014 draftees

[spycam1]

I'm not understanding why people say Randle is a bad defender? Dude is almost averaging a block a game and he isn't a shot blocker. I have watched a lot of Kentucky this year and #tbh I haven't seen him get destroyed by someone nor have I seen him take a play off.

I actually think his defense is undderated and he has good enough tools to be an adequate defender IN THE POST.

Dude has zero capability of guarding NBA small forwards on the perimeter. But ya know, #LeBronLite.

He's not a liar, he's just ****ing wrong.

Bro, he plays basketball with Julius, he eats, sleeps with the guy, I would take his word for it when he says Randle can be LeBron (lite or otherwise).

Yeah and my mom says I can be president. What's he gonna say? "Randle sucks and he'll be the next Darko"?

I actually think he could do a pretty good job, at least better than Jabari, tbh.

What thread?

TIA

The progression/digression of kkk;

Started as a clueless nerd that made everyone go, wait.. wtf??
Then a few (UGLIdamnit) suggested it was an act and he was a troll.
kkk gladly accepted this 'new' description as it was far more workable than the original perception.
He then proceeded to 'actually' start trolling a bit in a self-depricating manner (and was funny at times).
Then the trolling lost its humility and went right back to (see 4 lines up from here).


But, hey, at least we're all talking about him, amirite?

That one... Bodhi thread.

He didn't have to compare Randle to an SF in the NBA though right? He could have said Zach Randolph? Stoudamire? Who knows.



The fact that he compared Randle to a SF who occasionally plays the 4 when the line-up dictates is very telling IMO.

And my mom could have said Johny Greenwood or something instead of the president. When you are trying to be nice and/or kiss someone's ***, you say the nicest stuff possible.

But your mom wouldn't have been honest though, right?



We've already established Marcus Lee was #Honest

Ahem... post #13565.

Honesty really doesn't have much to do with predicting the future, which is what Lee is trying to do.

... but I've already established that he has a much better chance of doing that since he eats, sleeps, play ball with Randle.


None of us here can say that.

Uggghhh...


Guys.. all I can do is take Marcus Lee's words for it. He's an honest man.


The End.

DX listed "Defensive Potential" as one of Julius Randle's strengths..

Maybe it's because his defensive rating is below average.

In case you didn't know, defensive rating is a stat that estimates how many points a player allows per 100 possessions. The lower the score, the better. It certainly doesn't tell you who is the best, but it gives you a good idea of what level they're at on defense.

For example, his defensive rating is around a 97-98 if I remember right. Parker is at a 99. Doug McDermott is something crazy like 106. Embiid is at ~ 91. Marcus Smart is around a 92, but was at 86 his freshman year. Aaron Gordon is around an 89 rating. WCS is at a 91 (he really helped Randle out).

Basically what this tells me is that Embiid, Smart, Gordon and WCS are all really good at defense. Randle and Parker are below-average, and McDermott is horrible.

Also, is your eye test is telling you that Randle is a good defender, then you need to see a new eye doctor.

I can't get over how cool this play was. Give me Stauskas please.

Also, what do we think of Frank Kaminsky with our 2nd pick?

If ty corbins wife said he could be the next popovich would you sign him to a big extension?

Did I say he was a good defender? No. Dude you are the most antagonistic and negative poster on this board.

I like Kaminsky. He's very skilled and can stretch the floor. Good bench big.
