LOL... so are u telling me your gf find you funny??
Nah but woman like my swagger of being able to scorch people who act like they are out of their mind using their own words against them.
So because in past drafts there would only be one star means that in this draft it's being generous to say there might be 2 stars? Again, I'm not saying that your overall conclusion is wrong, but your way of getting to the conclusion is just horrid. Why are you so scared to just evaluate each player individually? Is it because you know that you can't? I'm starting to assume that it is.
Not really. You can take bits and pieces from them, but they're really not that relevant. Each draft is full of new players, whom don't really have a lot to do with each other. For example, last year in the NFL draft people were saying how you can't take an Alabama RB because they're only successful because of the team they played on in college but limited pro prospects (Ingram and Richardson) and then Eddie Lacy happened. That's why you evaluate each player based on his own merits, not past draft history. I would love for you to explain how they are relevant though. Explain away, please.
Last part reminds me a little bit of MCW and Syracuse's zone. Word was always: Size and length is a huge defensive plus potentially. Then in summer league he'd defend the pick and roll and bump into every screen like little birds hit windows when a bird of prey is around. Worked smart all summer, turned it and he's a boss now.
Uh, yes. Because statistically, over 70 years of drafts, only 1 player is a star in a draft. Why is this draft any different?
Why do you insist on picking out individual teams and players? If you look at each draft class as a whole, the talent levels are very similar. Could this be another 84, 96, or 03? Sure. But 70 years of drafts say it isn't likely. Very rare.
Okay maybe we have a different definition of superstar. But superstar is someone who's got the potential to be a first option on a mediocre to good team or 2nd 1st option on a contender.
2006: Chris Paul, Deron Williams
2008: Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love
2009: Blake Griffin, James Harden
2010: John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Paul George - I'm not sure about the first two, but they have still potential to get there.
2012: Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, (Andre Drummond)
simmons is an idiot if he thinks parker can be everyday 4.
I think Parker should try to work on his quickness and play the wing while he's young. When he getts older he can gain weight/muscles and transition to the 4. A player like Parker is right now should be placed on the wing because his defensive impact inside would lower his efficiency.
In regards to Young's and others rebounding numbers, I think it's only fair to point out that MSU is one of the worst, if not the worst rebounding teams in the nation.
Kentucky still has a lot of kids that are great talents, and they will prove (or already have proven) that in other games, I just think it's important to know it all, yo.
That's one thing that bugs me frequently. I mean if I'm a coach and I'm unhappy with my players rebounding. I teach them a lesson about rebounding. You don't box out practice is extended. You don't box out in games, you sit on the bench. So many games are decided over rebounding and the couple extra shots you give up because of it. It's nothing to do with BBIQ: When you see it fly, simply search a body to box out and look where your teammates are so you have the important areas covered.
At the start of the season I did not see it in young, but he looks like he has put it together. He goes really hard. Surprised at his shooting percentages doe. Suppose to be a strength.
The rest of the backcourt has a shooting efficiency like JR Smith. Players probably don't help off him and he should spend a lot of time in the strong corner to help his backcourt mates and Randle get more space in the lanes.
