Good analysis, but I like him for the exact reasons you mentioned.
He's got incredible handles. Nothing flashy but very effective in tight spaces. There was another play in the 2nd quarter where he split 3...
I agree, and I'm not trying to undervalue the importance of defense, not at all. I'm talking about the trend in the NBA. More than half of the...
I understand Towns having the better defensive upside, but I'm not sure how important that is in today's perimeter dominated game.... I mean,...
He's going to be a very dangerous player if he develops his range past 18 feet..... with his slashing ability, a total nightmare for the defense....
I wonder how high his ceiling is..... he is definitely a natural SG though, with PG skills. I guess it depends on how well he develops his jumper,...
:cool:
Like I said, the gap keeps widening. Okafor is the sure fire #1. Besides, I haven't seen anything from Towns that suggests he has a higher ceiling.
I think Lin is definitely worth 4/16 or 5/20. Rondo is not 2x the player Lin is, thus not worth 10/40, most likely his value on this market.
These games proved that there is Okafor at #1, then there's everyone else.
Yes there are plenty of busts but AT LEAST a HANDFUL become stars or solid role players. NO current player from the CBA can impact a NBA team....
@therealdeal OK so we agree that the talent pool is better in the NCAA if we remove the foreign players from the CBA, yes? FACT: The bottom 80%...
Well it's certainly not an apple to apple comparison, but I still believe Division I talent is greater than CBA talent because as RandleROFY...
@thereadeal Let's give this a rest. I apologize for getting a little side-tracked, but I guess the core disagreement is that I feel the CBA is...
Yeah but no one in the NCAA is averaging 29.5pts 5.3ast 4.6reb .539fg% like Marbury was. Hence I say NCAA >> CBA. I don't quite understand why I...
@thereadeal Yeah, and Jordan was the GOAT. But not anymore. Those 3 players were D-league talent by the time they left the NBA.
Well no, you're right. Not in the NBA. But a shooter is always a shooter, at any level. Wall is the quickest player in the NBA. Mudiay is...
@thereadeal I don't want to get too sidetracked here, but here is some evidence of how pathetic the CBA is. Gilbert Arenas 2011-2012 (Memphis)...
@therealdeal 1. Russell is already a better shooter than Ginobili. Mudiay has nothing that is even remotely close to Wall. 2. No argument here....
That's a fair assessment but I wanted to point out a few things. 1. Projecting Russell to max out as a 3rd Best Player and bottom out as a...
