Randle will be a good player. Perhaps not elite but a safe pick. If Cleveland could deal their pick for love and sign James they're in business. Need to keep deng as well
Parker's More of a SURE THING... Wiggins COULD End Up Being Better than Parker OR, he COULD End Up Being 1 of the Bigger Draft BUSTS Ever...But Parker Definitely WILL Be Better for the Next 1-3 Years...The Cavs ALREADY Wasted a # 1 Pick on Anthony Bennett...REED Thinks they'd Want a SURE Thing, After that Misfire... If Wiggins has an "All Around Game", it's Because he DOESN'T Really Stand Out in Any Particular Regard, Other than Athletically...But let's Not Pretend he's Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady or LeBron James Athletic... REED:mj:
REED Can See That... Barnes is ATHLETIC & CAPABLE of Doing a Little Bit of Everything, yet Isn't GREAT @ Anything in Particular, Either... REED:mj:
Heres a good break down from a few informed perspectives. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/r...l-scouts-on-wiggins-randle-embiid-and-parker/
...or he's going to be a disaster of a problem for somebody else. Teenage 7 footer with back problems. That shit don't just go away.
REED Hates that Shit... Motherfucker was an AFTERTHOUGHT @ Kansas Initially, Looked Good in a HANDFUL of Games, Completely MISSED the Big 12 AND NCAA Tournaments, Declared for the Draft & Now Has the Fucking AUDACITY to Think he's toooooooooo GOOD to Go to Cleveland???... If that's True, FUCK Embiid...Be Fortunate to BE in the NBfuckingA, Bitch... REED:boohoo:
Good Shit for the Most Part... disagREED on their Take of Randle NOT Being Terribly Athletic...No, he's NOT Michigan Chris Webber Athletic, as he's Been Compared, but Randle ISN'T Devoid of Athleticism Either...They're Also SLEEPING on Randle's Mid-Range Game...Dude Had LEGITIMATE High School 3pt Shooting Range, which Translates to Fairly Deeeeeeep NBA Mid-Range... They All Compared Parker to Paul Pierce, but REED Doesn't See that @ All...Pierce was VERY Athletic @ Kansas & was a 2-Way Player from Day 1...Parker is a Taller, Slightly More Athletic Version of Carmelo Anthony, in REED's Opinion... REED:mj:
there are no sure fire super stars in this draft but Id hate to be the one who selects the reincarnation of olowokandi when u got a zach randolph available
I'm hoping the Bucks grab Exum and Cavs grab Embiid. Wiggins is an amazing fit for Philly....much better than Parker who is iffy. Problem with this draft position is if Philly doesn't get Wiggins they'll be picking between Exum and Parker and both are mediocre fits at best.
When you injure your back as a teenager to the extent you miss as many games as he did, it's likely to become chronic. Jared Sullinger? ...and what worked out for Sullinger? #1 He's not close to a 7 footer #2 A Power Forward who shoots 42% from the field and chucks up as many 3 point misses as he does, isn't working out for anybody. I'd say he's got awhile to go to prove himself
Have you seen the way Miami can cut a significant lead or just go on a scoring frenzy with such ease? They're stacked as fuck. Sometimes people forget how fucking great Lebron is, and the thought of him playing along a healthy Wade,Bosh and Allen off the bench is ridiculous and scary.
The Indiana Pacers Actually OUTPLAYED the Miami Heat for 2 1/2 Quarters, but then, CHAMPIONSHIP Pedigree Set In... LeBron James is at a Stage of Greatness Where he LITERALLY Flips a Switch & IMPOSES His Will Upon Opponents & Games, Offensively...It's as if he Thinks to Himself, "Okay, I'm TIRED of Fucking Around w/Ya'll, NOW It's Time to Get Serious!"...All the While, Bron is LOCKING UP Paul George, Lance Stephenson, or Whomever Else he Happens to Be Guarding, that Particular Possession... It's a JOY to Watch a Dude that RELISHES Being a 2-Way Player & EXCELS @ It... Eric Spoelstra's Management of Dwyane Wade's Regular Season Games/Minutes Played was EXPERT...Wade has Been More Consistent in the 2014 Playoffs than he Was in the 2013 Playoffs...Every Time he FINISHES a Game w/No Tweaks, Bumps, Bruises or Injuries, is Another Game Indy, San Antonio/OKC Should Be CONCERNED About... The SCARY Thing for the Pacers is, Chris Bosh Still HASN'T Had a Good Game, This Series...But it's Coming... REED:mj:
Sorry to burst your Bosh bubble brother REED but Bosh has been historically BAD vs. Indiana. He just can't score vs. or defend David West.
Youth and athleticism worked today, but it wont win the series. As far as fundamental basketball is concerned, the thunder looked ridiculous.
