[The Young One]

Emeka is decent...anyways I dont think Thabeet even likes playing ball he just plays cuz hes so tall.

 

[RipCity32]

Dude is 7'3''. I don't get how he can suck lol.

 

[The Young One]

I knew he wouldnt be shit when he let Dejuan Blair just shit on him on national tv..I mean absolutely shitted on him.

This and most #2 picks over the past 10+ years have not developed into what we thought they would be...

2010 - Evan Turner - disappointing rookie season
2009 - Hasheem Thabeet - bust
2008 - Michael Beasley - thank god everyday we took Derrick Rose
2007 - Kevin Durant - the lone exception
2006 - LaMarcus Aldridge - not really the Bulls pick, we wanted/got Tyrus
2005 - Marvin Williams - ewwwww
2004 - Emeka Okafor - solid career, but underachieved IMO
2003 - Darko Milicic - Rip?
2002 - Jay Williams - we won't talk about this one
2001 - Tyson Chandler - don't remind me
2000 - Stromile Swift - well I guess Tyson was better than this

Don't even get me started lol.

 

[The Young One]

ET will rebound though....at least I hope so

Possibly. But just look at that list... Those are #2 picks in the NBA Draft. I would expect more than two All-Stars out of 11 years. The #2 pick should be a franchise changer IMO.

 

[DJT]

Interesting about the #2 pick. Williams is gonna have to step it up.

Good thing the Jazz pick #3.

I hope the T-Wolves take Kanter.

I don't wanna see D-Will bust.

 

[The Young One]

Honestly though with Brandon Knight potentially going 3...is he really gonna be that much better than somebody like devin harris in his prime.

 

[DJT]

I hope the T-Wolves take Kanter.

Me neither. I want him to be the best player out of this draft class, which he could easily be.

Honestly though with Brandon Knight potentially going 3...is he really gonna be that much better than somebody like devin harris in his prime.

Most likely not...but who knows.

I think he could be a little better. Maybe like a Jason Terry, but a better PG.

JET as a better PG in his prime is likely an all-star haha.

Ehhh... Maybe not with all the good point guards in the league today.

I would expect 16-18 points, 5-7 assists, 2 steals with good shooting from Knight in his prime.

Sounds reasonable.

 

[The Young One]

But like is that really that much better than somebody like devin...I think brandon can be good but 3 overall just cements how weak this draft is.

I've been saying for a while, the Jazz would be dumb to draft Knight at 3 with Devin still there.
Like IDK why people think Devin is ass. I'd take him lol.

 

[The Young One]

Just seems dumb to me..but if they dont take brandon theyll take jimmer at 12.

Jimmer playing in Utah seems to be a foregone conclusion lol.

 

[RipCity32]

Kanter and Jimmer would probably make Utah fans really happy lol.
