Speaking of no talent U.S. born white centers

This.

Very well said, and the general gist of my stance on the situation.

 

i know its just dleague,and guys like Babbitt put up good numbers there, but the last three games have been ridiculous for TORNIKE SHENGELIA

24/13/3/3/2
39/18/6/3/0
22/10/12/3/3 ---triple double!!

 

Didn't Nolan Smith score like 33 in the dleague a couple weeks ago?

 

Wow, seems like a great guy for the Nets. Probably too much of a tweener to make it in the pros though. 6'8" it said

 

There seems to be a lot of bashing going on, and I'm not sure why? You all like Leonard, and I hope he blows up and becomes a great defensive center that we need. I just think we should have taken Lamb, who I thought was the BPA at the time

 

and 59% from 3? interesting sample size of 3 games

in 14 games in the dleague he is shooting .462/.356

he very well might someday be an all star or whatever your kooky qualifier is for being a "solid" lotto pick, but for the love of god, just stop

 

I actually don't care about Leonard as much as many in here. I just think that the skin color and country shouldn't be a factor for who you should pick.

 

yeah some guy named nolan smith is scoring 22 ppg in the dleague, higher than lamb even! solid gold!

 

It shouldn't, unless you are a American born center

 

like brad miller?

 

I think you are taking this too far. Lamb has looked good in D league. He have great size and athleticism for a two guard. That's it. Others have done well also, which I mentioned. So apparently you would take Nolan Smith over Jeremy Lamb? Using every word you say against you. I can see why you are having so much fun with this.

I like Meyers. He's goofy and affable. I don't believe we should have taken him when we did because of the past results of guys who are big white centers. Maybe Meyers is more athletic, or has a bigger drive, or whatever. You guys point out a lot of players who have been saolid. Cool. All I can think is Chris Mihm, Joel Przybilla, Joe Klein, etc.

 

Yes, you found one in the last decade that was good. Congrats. Undrafted kid who turned out pretty damn good

 

lol its just. so. silly

a player scouted as the next tim duncan BUT BETTER is white and coming out of cuse.... you dont draft him in the lotto?

 

No.

 

yes, a white american center, a top 5 center during his career, you wouldnt draft him in the lotto. got it.

 

that might be the dumbest thing i have ever heard, and the reason why this "opinion" of yours is so laughable

 

Ok.

 

I'd take a Joel Przybilla over a wing that will maybe average 14-16 PPG. There are a lot of those types of players out there. Doesn't every team already have at least least 1-2 of these types of wings as it is (I know OKC has several, that's why Lamb is in the D-League).

Now, considering I believe Leonard will be better than Przybilla.... It makes it that much more likely I'd prefer Leonard.

It's all opinions, so I'm not hating anyone else's opinion. Except MM's "he's a white American center."

 

Wasn't Lamb taken before Leonard? I can't remember - at the time I was trying to find trades where we could have gotten 3 picks, two being Lamb and Drummond and I know Drummond went before Leonard (duh).

 

He was picked right after leonard (12th by Houston)
