Sorry but I don't get your logic. You brought up the point that 3-point shooting is absolutely necessary from either the SF or PF spot for the...
@therealdeal you're right, those numbers are insane, but being 2 years older and playing 39 minutes is huge. I could definitely see Okafor...
^ Supposedly he is more of a natural PG than Russell. He seems to possess good instincts at controlling the pace and setting up teammates,...
Man this thread has come a long way... some of us (including myself) had Stanley Johnson at #3 lulz
Yeah, if the Wolves pass on Okafor they're going to regret it.
I see the similarities too, and I also think Al Jefferson is underrated. If he played on a better team with a supporting cast, he'd be an allstar....
If we draft Okafor, everyone else on the team needs a jumper lol
@therealdeal Yeah, I don't really see the 'game-changer' aspect in Towns. Russell, Mudiay or Hezonja has more potential in that regard. Although...
@Savory Griddles In that case, I say F defense and draft Okafor anyway.
Yeah I can't wait to see more of Randle, along with Clarkson, AND Towns or Okafor. This offseason is crazy.
Perhaps that's what Worthy sees in Randle. All praises when he talks about the kid :) On offense, I agree that his bully-ball style would be...
Marc Gasol, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green to name a few that were scouted as weak defenders coming out of college. Now they are elite.
He certainly has the lateral quickness. You could easily project him to defend 3 positions (2 through 4)
Great reads @ElginTheGreat I have no doubt Okafor will improve as a defender. If he doesn't show effort, Byron will bench him in favor of Black...
Ideally, yes. But realistically, you have a guy like Lebron shooting 17.6% beyond the arc, playing next to Thompson whose perimeter game is...
Yeah, I'm still not convinced that playing him as a SF is a 'bad idea' He should be just as effective at both positions (3 and 4) if he develops...
Russell and Mudiay were nice talking about when we were destined to draft #4 or #5, but not with the #2 pick. Their floors are ALOT lower than...
What a prospect.... [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
^ good points, yeah I haven't really seen bigger guys bending their knees inwards. But to be fair, all those guys in the video are giants (esp...
I was taught bending the knees inwards is a good shooting mechanic. Better explained here. [MEDIA]
