Zombie Must draft Kelly Olynyk!!!

Nobody was saying it won't happen. Is Stockton the only good NBA player to come from Gonzaga?

 

You cry about Aldridge not leading his team to wins. Don't know why you would have a problem here.

 

Turiaf.

 

Hmm Mick, not much respect for the pac 12. You picked them to go........ winless? Belmont over AZ? Ouch

 

I don't think a player's college should really matter unless the team's a program that runs a certain system, like Wisconsin. I mean, how many Weber State players have been successful in the NBA? And also, how did being from Kentucky help guys like Daniel Orton?

 

Also Dan Dickau, if I remember correctly. But ya, Stockton is really the only super successful one.

 

NEVER draft from Syracuse. It is the KISS OF DEATH.

 

Well yeah, Dan Dickau = Blake Stepp = Derek Raivio = Kevin Pangos.

They've had some semi-decent pro's though, like Ronny Turiaf, Austin Daye, and of course, Adam Morrison. There just aren't too many homeruns outside of Stockton.

Like I said though, that's pretty irrelevant in drafting a player.

Carmelo didn't turn out too poorly... and as big of a bust as Coleman was, that's almost relative to his draft position.

 

Olynyk would be a good pick in the second round. Not the first.

 

It could be that we may not have our pick; but use freeland and a high second rounder for the draft rights to him. It could free us up enough cash to keep maynor as a qualifying offer; if we somehow was able to get rid of freelands contract.

 

Typical Gonzaga. Overrated going into the tourney and they don't perform.

I was very surprised to see that Olynyk ended up 26 and 9. I was really unimpressed with him yesterday.

 

Did Aldridge ever even make the tournament when he was at Texas? Just wondering.

 

I was actually impressed with him more than usual. He does have great size and moves fairly well, at least in terms of being coordinated athleticially. The way he kept getting his shot blocked at the rim the last two games is a bit worrisome, though, in terms of where he can be effectiving in the NBA.

 

He made the Elite Eight as a sophomore and lost to the Big Baby/Tyrus Thomas LSU team.

I thought you were some sort of NCAA hoop expert? I remember that game because I had Texas going to the title game that year.

 

The Hoyas began their 2008 season ranked #22 AP/#18 ESPN, based equally on the reputations of their two upperclassmen, DaJuan Summers and Jessie Sapp, and their recruiting class, led by Greg Monroe.[29] The Hoyas were highly successful in non-conference games (9–2) and saw their ranking rise as high as #9. However, college basketball's toughest strength of schedule eventually wore down a team that was also one of the youngest.[30] The Hoyas were 7–11 in Big East play for a 12th-place finish, followed by a first-round loss in the Big East tournament, the worst record in Thomson's five years at the helm.

Seems like Monroe couldn't lead shit either.

 

Zags when you fire from the hip like that and get rejected like you did; maybe you should concentrate more on looking shit up before you claim anything.

You swung from Monroe's jock; then make a claim that Aldridge didn't lead his team in the NCAA; when Monroe actually did worse with more talent.

Just a little advice brother...

 

I asked a question, bud. Don't get snippy.

 

I'm on my phone right now and it's dying. Let me get to my laptop so I can battle with you guys

 

My bad. Usually those questions and tone from you is normally sarcastic digs. If you were honestly asking a question; then my mistake.
