I heard he turned down NBA offers to be closer to home (which is the Philippines I believe)

Apparently Evan Turner hasnt technically signed with Boston yet

Are we really referring to Ajinca and Babbitt as talent haha

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And if the title was "talent under 22" I'm sure the 76ers would be winning that so I think you're point is kinda off

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I would with Ajinca.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Just saw that Austin Rivers dropped in NBA rank after this last season. The fuck?

 

[Pugz]

I would with Ajinca.

no.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Nobody aside from myself and Delirium saw Ajinca play last season. Aside from the fact that he fouled to much the guy is a whole lot better than people seem to think.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Ajinca talent. What world do I live in where those two are in the same sentence

 

[jonathanlambert33]

In what world is a player in the NBA not talented?

Y'all are taking this out of context.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He had more personal fouls committed last year than defensive rebounds


That just screams talent

 

[jonathanlambert33]

So did Steven Adams...are we going to say he isn't talented? Because that's sounds like it is your criteria.

EDIT: Your own Kelly Olynyk did as well.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

But anyways like I said, this is being taken out of context. Nobody has said he's a great player who should spend the next decade in New Orleans. But to say he's not talented (calling a NBA player not talented is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard by the way) or a solid rotational big in the league just goes to show how uneducated y'all are about him. Which is fine, because I know nobody watched the Pels last year.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Olynyk is a garbage defender. It's his offensive game that makes him as good as he is. He's really just a super unathletic SF.

So Darko Milicic retires from Basketball to become a kickboxer lol.

That's like saying you can't say any player in the NBA is actually bad because they're in the NBA.
 
Obviously he has talent to play in the NBA but listing him as a reason for the Pelicans' young talent is foolish haha

 

[jonathanlambert33]

No it isn't. He's one of the young capable rotation players on the roster, so naturally he would be listed.
