    There's certainly a small possibility. The guy has pretty much every tool you want in a young center (aside from dark skin lol). Size, athleticism, work ethic, shooting touch, a frame that looks built to add on muscle, coachability. Most 7 footers are missing several of these traits, but they get by because they are just so damned tall. Remember Cato, Boumtje, Ha, Chris Johnson?

    The only question has been whether he could make the mental transition. I think the progress we've seen in just this season speaks volumes about that.

    I'm not sold that he's destined to be the best center in the league. But you have to admit it's at least a small possibility. Something you could never say about past center 6'11+ Blazer rookie projects.

    Aside from Oden, of course.

    I'd like to see him channel some of that emotion into just being a bad-ass tough dude that sticks up for his teammates and scraps with opponents, like Przybilla. When he first came to town, I thought he was a softie. And he kind of was. But he transitioned into a no-nonsense kind of dude, and I'll always respect how he wasn't going to back down, and he'd be the first guy to jump in and back his teammates.

    Me and you were at odds during the draft as well, but this is ridiculous. MickZagger just needs to stroke his ego, it seems to make him happy.

    If you fools would just listen to me and my expert scouting; we'd already be contenders by now!

    You said, and I quote, "I think he will be a better PG in the NBA than Lillard will".

    Meaning you'd rather have Teague than Lillard.

    How much of a fucking loser do you have to be to not just nut up and admit you were wrong. Probably because you feel like an idiot after your little hissy fit tirade the night of the draft.

    But go ahead and go down swinging if it makes you feel better. :lol:

    Nothings ridiculous. All he has to do is admit he was wrong and I'll drop it. Instead he gets all defensive and calls me names.

    Dude's been showing face few and far between since that night. He's embarrassed. He used to be a regular.

    not to prod, but how long did it take you to admit you were wrong on ammo?

    After Roy won rookie of the year. I made a post admitting that Roy was the right pick.

    I also didn't go on a tirade the night of the draft shitting all over the board.

    so give him until the end of the year to stew on it

    ammo was off the board at the roy pick though, it would have been LMA drafted over him at #2

    of course, just saying "roy was the correct pick" doesnt really mean anything

    How much of a fucking loser do you have to be to give a shit? Making fun of someone for their stances a little bit makes sense on here, and is all in good fun, the way you needle friends for dumb shit they did. But just constantly being an annoying doucehbag over it....fuck man.

    Its funny that people have a beef because I want someone to admit they were wrong. Now we got a bunch of captain save-a-hoes in here.

    You act like a dick and get called on your shit, its as simple as that. We don't need to over think this here.

    A bully with a big dick?

    Seriously though, all it takes is just for him to admit a little bit that he's wrong and I'll stop belittling him.

    Don't try to take credit for my call on Lillard! Admit that you follow me around and repeat all my pre-draft expertise! If you admit it; I will drop it!
