So who has the better NBA career: Kawhi or MKG?

MKG will not live up to that #2 pick, will have the worst career out of all the top 10 picks, yes austin rivers will have a better career than him

Last one: Otto Porter. Best fit team wise? NBA comparison?

Wiz, cavs

nic batum/ariza if hes focused on the defensive end.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Chill with that Rivers comment. MKG will be a very good pro. He's no Corey Brewer.

 

[champcruthik]

MKG's motor and defense alone translates far better than Sub-Zero's game. Defensive-minded players are less at risk to be busts because that element of basketball translates from the college to pros instantly. He has Iggy and Pip potential, purely defensively.

I was thinking Cavs for Otto as well. Best comparisons that first came to mind were LO and Tay.

 

[champcruthik]

BTW, a somewhat bold prediction. I'm of the opinion Drummond can emerge as the best player in the class potentially. Still very raw but the skillset for an elite big man exists.

I hate they how they call Nate Robinson short when he is average height

Mkg offensive ability is way below avg, his jumpshot makes rondos look decent

Austin rivers had to deal with injuries this year, son can score on anybody, he just had a bad rookie campaign

On the Earth, yeah. Not for the NBA.

It's as if they're speaking relatively to average NBA height, not the general population.

 

[champcruthik]

Reke is an interesting player. Crazy handle but can't shoot. Versatile but with no natural position.

 

[KMante]

Average NBA height is about 6' 7". Nate is 5' 9" at BEST.

If you are 10 inches shorter than average, you are short. It's all relative.

I can't decide if I hate you or if you're the funniest person in S&T. You might be both.

dudes wasting years in sac, they need to just hand him the keys like they did his rookie season and let him run the show,

Reke could win 6th man of the year every year for a good team

Pissed when spurs lost

. Lost $50

CSN Chicago:

Despite erroneous reports that he was set to dress for Game 3, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, the former league MVP won’t return to the court in the series, something Thibodeau is aware of.

However, at the outset of the second round, Rose did strongly consider coming back, but ultimately decided against it, another source said.

:x For pete's sake why can't the Bulls FO just announce that Rose will be shut down to end all speculation.

He was projected as the player with the most potential in this class, i feel he will never really reach that potential tho

anthony davis's efficiency is on another planet

Lebron really say "I dont flop, I'm not one of those guys." ??

 

[ohmygosher]

“It’s kind of the same as when people said I was overrated, I have the same response,” James said. “I don’t need to flop. I play an aggressive game but I don’t flop. I’ve never been one of those guys. I don’t need to flop. I don’t even know how to do it. So it doesn’t mean much to me.”
