    To rate without assists to compare means nothing. Fg% isn't the only shooting. Next!

    As an undergraduate alum of UC Irvine, we are rivals. As much as teams in the Big West can be anyways.

    Pride of UCI is Jon Lovitz..... we can go outside of basketball, right?

    I mean if we do we've got Speilberg so I mean...

    But honestly we've got very little to go by on basketball. I always thought it was funny our biggest claim to fame was a guy who got a shot hit on him.

    Did James Cameron transfer to a school far far away? Wait, no, that's George Lucas... who went to USC. I hear that school has produced a few NBA players. Harold Miner. Spurs' big man Dewayne Dedmon. Brian Scalabrine. And can't forget good ol' Swaggy.

    So you got Spielberg, Savory has Cameron, USC has Lucas.... and I got Jon "My career is so bad that I just appeared on Celebrity Apprentice" Lovitz? :speechless:

    Better? KAT, Booker, D-Lo all have their teams in sewer water. Jury is still out on that. Until one of them starts to win meaningful games, stats dont mean anything.

    Karl Anthony-Towns is the best player out of his draft.

    It's not even debatable.

    sorry about posting that a 2nd time realdeal.

    It was mentioned in that Dlo rant; Booker is tasked to just score, but Dlo has more responsibility on his hands compared to Booker. Dlo is not handling the responsibility very well though.

    No, your link was better anyway.

    And you're right, Russell is not handling his responsibility with any grace.

    That's why I have always said DLo is a SG. Imagine if CP3 acted that way lol

    Sorry I have already give up on DLo as the future PG of the Lakers. He doesn't have "IT".

    Came up in another thread, but this belongs here.

    DR vs. NVE
    21 AGE 22
    26.5 MPG 33.3
    14.2 PPG 13.6
    4.7 APG 5.8
    3.8 RPG 2.9
    1.2 SPT 1.0
    39.2 FG% 39.4
    34.9 3pt% 33.8
    77.2 FT% 78.1

    That feeling when you realize that DA's posting almost identical numbers to Nick despite being more than a year younger. And then you realize that Lakers fans would have driven off Nick Van Exel, too.
