2014 NBA Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[Mobruler]

I've been mostly deliberately over the top with my praise of Randle over the past week, but he seriously is my favorite rookie in this draft and I think he is a for sure NBA star.  He might not be Karl Malone, but I honestly think he's 18 and 10 from day 1.

He's definitely not Sullinger, but he's not a star either. Could be a solid starter. Might get some all-star consideration if on a great team.

he was a solid pick

Like i said though, i like elfrid

13-6 next year

He's not in the same tier, either. Sullinger is an energy bench big. Randle is more athletic, quicker, equally as good a rebounder, more potential on defense. Not even in the same realm.

If Sully is a C+/B-, Randle's peak is a B/B+.

 

[Mobruler]

Why are you people comparing players who are nothing like each other?
 
If you think Sullinger and Randle are similar players, you need to go hop on Youtube.

 

[Mexi]

Tier, not player type

Cant stress that enough and ive said it like 10 times jesus

 

[elcheato]

Cant stress it enough that they're not in the same tier

 

[Mexi]

His floor is imo
I think hes solid from the jump

His ceiling is all star

 

[bosoxlover12]

His floor is Patrick Patterson, not Sullinger.

If this is true, I just can't see LeBron going back. Everyone assumed there was a plan with everyone opting out to take less and get more talent. This basically says LeBron didn't care what these two decided to do when he opted out.

His floor is Patrick Patterson, not Sullinger.

again, tier

Patrick is pretty much in the same tier as sully

 

[bosoxlover12]

Sully is better than Patrick Patterson

 

[Mobruler]

I think his "floor" is high.  Randle is said to be mostly illiterate and probably got through a semester a UK with the aid of a gratuitous tutor.  He didn't exactly take the Shane Battier path to the NBA.  He's here by crushing people and being dumb.  If he becomes a drug addict tomorrow, he can still crush people and be dumb.  So I cant ever see him being a huge bust, because it's hard to deflate yourself from just having to crush people and be dumb.

sully, landry etc isnt a bust dude lol

Good players

 

[Mobruler]

That was because someone said his floor was Patrick Patterson.

 

[Mexi]

Patrick isnt bad

Could make a case hes a better defender and is certainly a better shooter
