how do you guys rate Larkins 1st step ? can he blow by his defender and get the jazz into 5 on 4 situations?? will he need to use lots of the shot clock to do it?
i like his chances on the Jazz especially.
also paul george is better because hes not currently shooting 18% from 3 in his playoff career
ones polished and slightly battle tested will be 21 in his rookie season, the others young foreign and very enigmatic quick as a cat and will be 20 oversized for his height, should have considerably more upside because of the frame... but more bust potential if your concerned with his transition here in America, let alone the NBA, or any random team

amongst other things but most importantly, Paul George is a step quicker than hayward, if not a step and a half. Hayward is a great athlete at full speed, but he doesn't accelerate and stop on a dime like George, its not comparable, Hayward is a utility SG with some sharp stools. George is the goods.

He seriously is taller than Lebron and is about as tall as Favors.
The article is about as credible as a Bill Oram article is to us....
I'm surprised this isn't common knowledge.

Totally agree.
People grow and shrink over the course of 24-hour period and measurements aren't always perfect. I don't really buy that George is that tall (sounds like tall tales to me, pun not intended), and I'm not sure how much it matters in contrast to being JUST 6' 9".

Does everyone think George is as tall as Favors? I'm not saying he's not, but I really don't see it.
You've pretty much described the Hayward vs Paul George scenario before they were drafted.

When was Wolters ever compared to Jimmer, this is the first I have heard about it. Jimmer could not even sniff Nate Wolters jock of how good Wolters is a passer, plus Wolters is a far better athlete and 3 inches taller.
Wolters at 14! If Zeller is there take Zeller, then Nate Wolters at 21! I am Big D Orcutt and I approve this message.
This campaign is brought to you by Vivint (home security at its best) and the Law Tigers!

wolters athletecism is masked by the **** competition, he is gonna be a major liability on the wing playing D
his athleticism with the ball is great, on defense his footspeed will be exposed...
WHERE ARE HIS LANE AGILITY #'s???
whats he got to hide?

Guys - Larry Bird went for a Home Run and got Paul George.
We can't make the same mistake, and play it safe. We have x2 picks. At least make 1 of them a Home Run hit, and make the other a bunt/line drive.

Hayward may not be as athletic as Paul George but Hayward's bball iq is head and shoulders above George, it's not even close, and that makes up for not being as athletic and it's not to say Gordon isn't athletic because he has shocked us all and will do more shocking.
