2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

C'mon guys.... how many #1 Picks do you know that don't get a chance to start?

Cle messed up... this pick was only made from their other mess up pick in Dion Waiters.

 

[champcruthik]

Beh: I'm probably one of them. MCW got me excited with this hot start. I still worry about his outside J.

 

[do work son]

Anthony Bennet on a milk carton 

didnt people attack me for calling him a bust..

he looks like complete trash

its early but still

bust less than 5 games into his professional career. interesting.

Looks like gs or sa is coming out of the west

Well got damn, the rest of the west might was well shut it down then.

yep, time to close up shop.

Zyzz says everyone sucks or will be a bust, so now he wants props when he looks right after a few games.



I wasn't a fan of the pick, Noel seemed safer and since you already had Tristan there was less of a need for Bennett.. but he's a work in progress and he'll have the weight of the #1 pick being on him despite everyone knowing it was a weak draft.. Speaking of, I've been impressed with Tristan so far this season. Hopefully he keeps it up.

So we're already proclaiming busts and western conference champs

 

[champcruthik]

Klay Thompson and Eric Bledsoe for 3-4 game MVP's.

 

[sea manup]

 

Come on, guys. I didn't love the AB pick, but we're like 5 games into the season.

Some need to apply that logic to MCW's game 

NO! he's the next magic

 

[champcruthik]

Cuse alums in my office were saying that.

Shrugs, I think Ennis will be better.

 

[sea manup]

kobe with the "i can get you traded with a simple phonecall" look

no looking for props at all

im right a lot of times tho

like i said, i didnt say i was right... yet

i said its not looking good and everyone will agree but even i said its only a few games. lets see how he looks by the end of the calendar year. im not expecting anything but hey who knows

In most drafts I don't think Bennett would go top 10, especially not 2014. Cavs picked the wrong year to have the number 1 pick.

but still, many teams would love a number 1 pick any year. if they didnt really have anyone special in mind they should have just traded it

who do u think should've been the number 1 pick?

 

[dt43]

Cavs should have taken Noel. He can't play this year but neither can Bennett.



But REALLY, where they effed up was taking poor man's Jamal Crawford at #4 last year. They could have had Barnes/Drummond + Oladipo this year.

I'll give him time, but I'm not that high on his game. I see him being able to do a few things well for the team, but not being an all out star, but it's really too early to tell anything.

Noel but I would have traded the pick for a young proven player.

Barnes or Drummond would have been a much better look for the Cavs.
Dion is cool and all but..

this is niketalk where 90 percent of the members are prisoners of the moment... lol

That "screen" by Blake is pretty hilarious.

Anthony Bennett is averaging 0.5 points, 0.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and .25 blocks. He's shooting .000 from the field and .000 from three.

I was after watching him tonight.

The Cavs didn't get slotted into the wrong year to have the first pick, they just ****** up and chose an inferior player. There was never a time where Bennett was thought to be the #1 pick. It's been a trainwreck from the point Bill Simmons yelled, "WHOA!" the millisecond after it happened.

 

[Peep Game]

Some effort on that screen, Blake was just in the way like a pest

 

[championboyz7]

Shoulda taken oladipo
