dude is actually not bad

If the Sixers didn't have so many front court players I'd be okay with getting him. I just can't deal with having so many bigs and not one real point guard on the roster.

I have no issue with overseas ball but the Chinese league is weak as ****. Washed up Marbury was looking like Jordan over there for Christ sake

I dont see Kris as someone thats "soft." Coming from a basketball family and being obsessed with basketball i'm sure he somewhat understands the trash talk and dirty play that he'll encounter in the NBA. So he's better prepared for it than most europeans in a way.

Also not worried about his strength, everyone gets stronger and bigger in the NBA. My main concern of his is his basketball IQ.

Lol they gave him a damn statue

I feel you but nobody plays ball like in the U.S. And what I mean by that is on that court here players smell that fear. So he already got the cards stacked against him. No disrespect but slim and white. Players gonna want to see what he's about. So all that over seas and solo workout stuff can kick rocks. Let's see what he about when that first elbow get thrown and slick talk start. Personally I don't see it with him but hey I don't get paid to scout either.

The highest level of European basketball is definitely physical. Most of the dirty dudes in the league are international. You seem to be coming from a real old school mentality. If he's built for the league, he'll adapt. Plenty of them are extremely physical and never back down. If he's not, he won't. Okafor wasn't seeing the physicality or slick talk of the NBA while he was posting up scrubs either. It's an adjustment everyone has to make - international, American, white, black, etc.

Yea I hear you but is from Chicago. He's seen plenty of what I was talking bout.

I would really like the Pacers to pair George with either Hezonja or Payne 

 

Worst case scenario, Frank, since West and Hibbert have player options

 

[dacomeup]

If you start off your support of Mudiay by "all of the film I've seen" . Something ain't right because it's not even that much out there.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Last I checked, his film wasn't even on synergy

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Speaking of darko did anybody else used to check out that blog freedarko? It was kinda like grantland but not as douchey and didn't take itself too seriously

There's actually a good chunk of film of him out there. He's no Exum.

 

[8pm at msg]

You can go on Youtube and find quite a bit of CBA games featuring Mudiay.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Didn't know you needed 35 hours of footage to formulate an opinion of someone's abilities.

 

[buc em]

Yeah I'm pretty sure like every game he played in China is available to watch online, as well as a ton of highlights of him from high school, workouts and such.

 

[frshstunna]

Ppl still think he came outta nowhere

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Mudaiy played in american high school, hoop summit, and 12 chinese league games, put up 19 PER, he's not THAT uknown.

 

[jpzx]

If you have a quick release that doesnt matter. As a shooter it really doesnt matter how high you jump on your jumpshot. Its 50% mechanics, 50% muscle memory/confidence.

Lol no, I disagree

I would really like the Pacers to pair George with either Hezonja or Payne 

I really like both of those pairings, that'd be

I hope the Lakers take Kristaps

LA will either take Okafor or MAYBE Russell. Los Angeles would burn down if Mitch took Porzingis

 

[rck3sactown]

I hope the Lakers take Kristaps

knowing their luck, Krispy Kreme will live up to every ounce of the hype

17 is a good looking uniform number.
