Appreciate the analysis. Not sure I agree with it all (do some though) but I appreciate it all the same. The only thing I would say is an average starter at 25 is great. Most picks 25 or later don't last past their first NBA contract. Edit: I now see that this was addressed already. Sorry.
Intellectually, I know the kid dropped because he has big holes in his game and he will probably break our hearts. Getting excited about the 25th pick is silly. Emotionally, I feel like we need a win. (specifically, something to balance out the Nurk injury and Kanter/Hood leaving)
Yes you are making my point. You are at practice, you know him well. You would know what kind of motor he has.
It doesn't mean a lot because his parents in the military I seen a lot of military kids that got in a lot of trouble in my 20 years in. But doesn't look like he that type of kid though. Yes seen a lot good kids too.
Better handle (who doesn't) Better mid-range game (Aminu is a terrible shooter from mid-range -- no I didn't look up stats. Feel free everyone.) He will be as good or better from three (IMO), or at least more consistent (IMO) He will be as good or better of a defender (Aminu is the best we have at the position, but still overrated) He will be better at slashing and at attacking the basket (Aminu is a freaking carnival ride, if carnival rides were out of control and lost every third kid) Rebounding? IDK. It seems to me that a lot of Aminu's rebounds are of the "three teammates around the ball and Aminu grabs it" variety.
Gary Trent Jr. was #9 last season. Why was that a number for Nassir Little to choose? And what happens with Kent Bazemore who is #24, same as Anfernee Simons?
Trent switched to #2. Bazemore will take a different number unless Simons wants to change for some reason...? It ain't rocket surgery.
Rocket surgery.... I'm not sure I have ever seen/heard that before. But you're right - it's not rocket surgery.
Who said there were black I didn't say what race they were in general. Matter in fact majority of them was white. Did you serve in the Military?
I did. Not sure why you won't just answer the question. Why are you asking me about my military service? I swear, bring up race and white folk get all flustered.
Who flustered yes you brought of race I just brought up kids that was raised in the military and not all was goodie good shoe. It looks like your the one has problem with race. One my son is half black so I don't have problem with race.
I just wonder didn't know there no reason. You know how non military people would assume because a kid has one or two parents in the military that there kids are angels that why brought it up. Thank you for your service.
