DRAFT TALK Thread: Looking Like Lonzo

kwame brown and michael olowokandi?

 

Is that a trick question?

 

Yes.

 

according to this mcgee character, you are wrong. i don't know. i'm really just ribbing real, who jumped on me for countering his beverly comparison with a john wall comparison.

fox is crazy fast. great body control, really natural movement, like wall. he's a little smaller, though, which matters a lot.

 

That should have been a warning sign to the tilt. It's like when you are being set up on a blind date and you ask your boy if she's hot. And the first thing he says is, she's really cool or nice or some s*** like that. You know right away that s*** is gonna be straight butter.

 

he didn't say: okafor's as good a citizen as <insert former player here>. also, assessments of character are much more subjective than assessments of speed. and a coach has had MUCH more experience viewing the latter in real-world contexts than the former.

 

Can't take a dude seriously who dry humps James Worthy because of some top 2 pick in the lottery. Spectrum really needs to replace that guy with Serena or keep jamie at anchor full time.

 

1. i honestly have no clue who mcgee is, but i don't see why he would put words in calipari's mouth. maybe he would, but that would eventually catch up with him.
2. anyone can be replaced by serena.

 

Fox can't shoot. Any NBA team with decent defense will exploit it and he will be rendered useless. If you need proof, watch the 2010 Finals. Kobe guarding Rondo in Inglewood while Rondo was in Reseda sealed the C Bags fate when it mattered.

 

so to recap:

a reporter claims a player's coach says player A is as fast as player B. our responses are:

1. reporter is full of s***.
2. coach is full of s***.
3. i've seen player B, and he's the fastest possible, so player A can't be that fast.

i'll just go with: these players are likely comparable in their speed on the basketball court.

wall couldn't shoot early in his career, either. and honestly, rondo's non-shooting a** would still be an allstar if he wasn't absolutely certifiable.

again, can't stress enough that i'm not claiming fox is heading towards stardom (i don't see any obvious superstars in this draft, which includes our beloved lonzo), just that if we're going to be super liberal in our projections, we can be that way for him, too. if ball is kidd, fox is wall, and fultz is faster brandon roy, and zach collins is kevin mchale or something.

in truth, they're probably more like brent barry, rondo, oj mayo, and jason smith or something like that.

 

I think Fultz is more like Wall. Ball has Jason Kidd written all over him if he can get the timing down quick his rookie year. Fox is michael cooper with speed and no shot. Waiting 5 years for him to develop a jump shot aint going to work. I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up at 5 to be honest.

 

I saw a video of Fultz shooting. Do not want.

His shot will be as broken as Ingram's, he's gonna have Lowry weight issues and he lands and bends his knees, on jump shots, very awkwardly.

Bust.
