"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - November Thread

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

And I posted i was wrong about the kid last week. You didn't see that?

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

No I did not. But hey as long as you are right now who cares.

The truth is Anthony Davis is probably the third most talented player in the NBA right now.

I would pick AD over lebron or KD if I was running a team.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Whoa I wouldn't! I wouldn't even want him over dame

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

It's the same thought as taking Oden over Durant, except here we have 2 knees that seem to be able to hold up. He's had a few injury issues but nothing of too much concern. Eventually he will be stretching the floor like lamarc us and defending the paint better than anyone in the league.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Agreed.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Easily. He is so young.

That 2012 draft class was also filled with good players now that you look back.

Anthony Davis
Bradley Beal
Dion Waiters
Damian Lillard
Terrence Ross
Harrison Barnes
Andre Drummond
Jeremy Lamb
John Henson
Terrence Jones
Jared Sullinger
Tony Wroten
Miles Plumlee
Perry Jones
Jae Crowder
Draymond Green
Quincy Acy
Khris Middleton
Will Barton

I'm sure I'm missing some

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Remember it was said how bad this draft was aside from Anthony?

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Hard work > Elite talent

The story of the 2012 draft class. 2014 has been disappointing in the small sample size so far.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Well embiid and Randle are out which seriously decreases the talent.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Still... Parker, Wiggins, Exum, Vonleh, and others have been pretty 'meh'

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Meyers Leonard.

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

if you re-draft the 2012 draft.... does lillard get the #1 spot? remember that n.o. had an injury plagued PG and also drafted Rivers.


that would mean Davis would go to Cleveland. oh shit that team would be sick right now.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

No love for Ben McLemore?

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Trading for ending contracts would drop $22 Million of the their cap immediately, So, their cap expenditure would be down to $38. With that much cap space they you trade for another piece/draft picks.

Thad was an FA (I think), and they already have buyer's remorse with Pek, especially considering that his eventual replacement Dieng has been outplaying him (or so I've read).

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Well, going by team needs... No, Davis still goes 1st and Dame still wouldn't get picked by the Hornets, Wizards or Cavs because they already have very good point guards. Charlotte probably would've taken either Barnes or Drummond if they could do it all over and Sacramento would've take Dame.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

He was drafted last year.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Hornets had a fragile point guard, and also took rivers early. i think they had 2 needs really.

If needs are taken out of the equation, I think dame would go top 3 now.

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

No, I mean Charlotte Hornets lol not new Orleans

My order would be:

Davis
Drummond
Beal
Waiters
Lillard

In terms of talent...

Davis
Lillard
Drummond
Beal
Waiters

 

Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Bulls vs Raps gonna be pretty good.
