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

Skip Bayless is terrible

He sounds like a NT'er to be honest

Rubio was awful last night.

Couple times Adelman look like he wanted to strangle him for trying to be fancy and turning the ball over 

He is a young dude and still fully getting to terms with the NBA - He is going to be one of the best passers in the league in 2-3 years

He already is arguably the best passer in the league. He did get too flashy last night. Adelman definitely sent a message benching him for about 10 minutes in the 4th.

Said it before, but I have no idea how Archie Goodwin lasted as long as he did, especially in that weak draft.

1. a non elite athlete who can't shoot, or handle the ball well? How many successful 2 guards fit that profile at draft time?

2. It wasn't a "weak draft", it was only weak at the top but 5-30 was typical if not better than an average draft.

the suns took a good risk at 29 based on pedigree, but I don't really see how you can say he should have plausibly went any higher than late 20's. Especially when you consider good teams don't have time for projects, they need help that can come in right away.

I could have sworn the consensus on Archie Goodwin was that he was an elite athlete.

I've never seen anything watching him @ UK or read any scouting reports that said otherwise.

I love that Pacers team. That's messed up they had George Hill just sit there though

 

[jsindaa]

Yea I don't know where the non elite athlete thing came from

I wouldn't say that, I think very very good, great body control, great at drawing fouls, he lacks elite jumping ability, and his frail frame causes him to struggle to finish in the lane.

but I'd put him in the James harden, young manu tier just below elite.


it makes sense to me he went late 20's.

So overrated. Great passer but poor shooter.

What's your scouting report on him?

A bigger Clyde Frazier? A 6'4 Allen Iverson? A black Jerry West?

Damian lillard if he was 6'4 225

Is that why Durant was there? To get him to sign a deal with Proactiv next season?

Not only was it a bad decision...but the pass itself was just awful

Shaq's MVP season in 1999-2000 was the most dominating single season from a player I have ever seen. Not saying Shaq's the GOAT, but for that single season, he was on another level than everyone else.
