One thing that has gotten better, is the watchibility of the Kings and made them seem like a somewhat competent team who can hang around with anybody.

McLemore has been getting all the shots/minutes he can handle and he is definitely getting played to go thru the growing pains. Malone literally said that almost verbatim just yesterday after the game   So the addition of Gay, IMO, doesn't hinder Mclemore's growth or development. If anything it just helps put Mclemore in better position to succeed by taking a huge part of the load that the rookie clearly isn't ready for. 

I don't really care too much about the wins right now tbh   and I don't want to sound like a complacent fan, but right now I just want to see this team improve and progress regardless of what the W/L columns shows  

You remind me of a young me watching the warriors in their crappy years we call the "dark ages".

Speaking of the blazers, what's up with Trob? 

Lineups featuring him are Portland's worst lineups on both ends of the court, & since Stotts keeps a short rotation it was easy to tell who the weak link in the rotation is.

He's a poor defender & raw offensively. his aggression was supposed to cover that up but it hasn't.

All fair points bro, I can't even hate on that or argue against it. Like I said, as a Kings fan if you're entertained at the end of the day then nobody can really get too negative about that. It's not as if Gay has that long left on his contract. I hear you on the rookie, and I do like Malone, I've been keeping tabs on him this season. Respect.

Wiggins is good, but Parker is much much better at this point. Don't get me wrong they're both really good players but if I had to choose between Wiggins and Parker I'd most definitely go with Parker. 

Wiggins has the higher ceiling due to his physical attributes. If we're projecting here, then he's the superior prospect because of that. It's all a matter of how much you trust him to put the work in to be great.

If he doesn't go #1 then obviously whoever passed on him didn't trust him to put in that work.

But yeah, Parker definitely has more game than him right now.

This fool is even worse, so corny. Can't wait till he disappears off the face of the earth.

VC like "you acting like I care about basketball, I'm just here for a check, calm your young *** down"

Hahaha . I'm talking more along the lines of Mookie Blaylock and Jason Caffey. But CLOSE!!

^I know a guy who is basically a big time volunteer AAU/HS/mainly middle school coach, and he posts **** like that everyday.

I want to make a meme of him but I feel like it would be mean. Plus I think he lurks on NT

do you hate every ballhogging all star that lin has played with?

I agree but I ultimately believe Wiggins will be the better player, ceiling is higher.

As great as Bari is, there is only so much he can get better at meanwhile Wiggins is good but can improve in so many areas and is a world class athlete.

World class athlete with joe johnson type assertiveness, son goes ghost way too often & cant create off the dribble

marcus smart is gonna be the best player in the draft, hes a bigger/stronger damian lillard

 

[datznasty]

So what GM and coach will Wiggins get fired when he amounts to Corey Brewer without the LBJ hairline?

 

[sea manup]

whether wiggins is a bust or not depends on if the cavs draft him 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Will Wiggins' athleticism transfer to the next level. Meaning will he be able to out-athlete guys on a regular basis? I'm not so sure, so I'm hesitant to say he's a world class athlete.

Not alot of players at the sf position with his speed & jumping ability

sf? isnt that the position lebron, kd, pg, gay, iggy and green play?

relying on speed and jumping ability works better for post players

Remember how everyone thought they were an automatic contender?...

Nobody said he was gonna be great because of his athleticism, but he is a top athlete at his position, i'll give him the edge over pg,rudy & iggy
