Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[calibeebee]

Could jimmer do what yogi currently doing for the mavs? Why hasn't anyone picked him up.

I can't figure out why jimmer can't be good at the nba level. Is it poor defense? Can he not get his shot off quick enough due to the much better defenses at this level? I know he's quick and athletic enough, has good enough bball IQ, good scorer, etc. does he play too out of control?

 

[nick.]

Oden is a worse pick imo since the next 3 players taken were Durant, Horford, & Conley.

If Oden had stayed healthy and on the average path of growth for an NBA player, he would have been just as valuable as any of them.

There was no way to know what would happen.

 

[carver]

LeBrons dad was a can't miss prospect ..yes they passed on KD but I don't know if there was a single mock draft that had AB going #1

Outside of Chad Ford's revised version

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Without a doubt. At least Kwame Brown and Pervis Ellison played solid minutes. But Greg Oden is 1A to Bennett's 1.

greg oden was actually good when he played though

 

[ill steelo]

Anthony Bennett has 3 points, combined, in his 4 Euroleague games.

Might be the worst #1 pick ever.

It's not even particularly close either.

His rookie deal expired and he was only offered minimum contracts afterwards

He played multiple games in the d-league.... and averaged 9 points on 34% shooting.

He got cut by the Timberwolves who haven't made the playoffs in a decade

He got cut by Brooklyn who wasn't anywhere near contention.

Like, it's not even close.

He's not quick or athletic enough. Poor defense is putting it mildly.

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'd say the next worst #1 pick is Olawakandi

 

[statis22]

I blame the Cavs not AB for his failure   

Yep. They outsmarted themselves with that pick. Could have easily traded down and picked him

He brought them back Kevin Love. Pretty sure they were happy with their decision.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

greg oden isn't a bust just because of who was taken after him either...
never understood that logic since the draft isn't about taking BPA

 

[stillin729]

Bennett was taken in a class of mutts

Noel was probably considered the #1 pick until he tore his knee up and even so it was a weak draft year

Itsnot? Since when? Didnt 76ers take big men because they were bpa? Obviously not every team doesbut many do take bpa

yes I meant every team doesn't take BPA

'13 draft was terrible.

McCollum, Giannis, Gobert...other than that....

I'll give you Adams, Noel, Porter, and Oladipo. Idk about anyone else on that list being an impact player.

I was thinking more in terms of All Star players. Terriblenwas maybe the wrong word

Y'all really gonna ignore KCP ?

 

[awwsome]

KCP too inconsistent.

 

[ballinsam23]

Jarret Jack tore his meniscus. Another pelican goes down.

 

[youngwolf]

Kyrie asked Jimmy Butler to d him up no ayo

Jimmy has some of the best D in the league. If he really laid it on Kyrie, there is no way he could handle him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Jarret Jack tore his meniscus. Another pelican goes down.

His knees and ligaments were like, na, you need a reality check breh

 

[tomdiginson]

JJ looked like he gained a good amount of weight as well.

Saric is back on the stove, burners on high, open flame, Apron on deck, spatula in hand, food in and outside the paint just marinating, about to hit the frying pan.
