Barnes would have had real consideration from the Cavs at #1.

if they liked him enough, yeah.

cuz they still coulda gotten knight

 

[The Young One]

What did Marshall say?

Which of your teammates has improved the most so far this summer?
"The biggest strides I’ve seen being made is probably Harrison. He’s learned to be more efficient with his moves, learning how to get his shot off easier

Harrison Barnes with a handle..is serious

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Probably just a case of over-hyping him up.

 

[RipCity32]

If the Pistons draft Biyombo, I am going to be soooooo mad.

 

[The Young One]

Heard Brooks worked Alec in a bobcats workout.

Heard Brooks worked Alec in a bobcats workout.

Yeah, Burks is slipping IMO.

Could possibly go after Singleton, Fredette, Klay Thompson, Jordan Hamilton, and Marshon Brooks.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, Biyombo is seeming real iffy now.

 

[The Young One]

They said he went one on none and still lost lmao.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, anything out of dunking range he missed I heard.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Burks or Biyombo?

 

[The Young One]

Biyombo

 

[RipCity32]

They said he went one on none and still lost lmao.

LMAO.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Oh. I wouldn't expect Biyombo to hit anything out of dunk range. LOL

Isn't he Ben Wallace 2.0?

In the sense that he's a 6'9" center with no offensive ability... Not saying he will ever have the career Big Ben did.

So they say. I don't think there will ever be a Big Ben 2.0.

[RipCity32]

Hahah, I know. I can read.
I'm just saying in general.

I think the game just came to Big Ben so much slower on defense. Like he was physically talented and all, but his brain is the reason he was so damn good.

Players like Bismack might be physically built like him (well not like him yet at all), but never will be Big Ben cause the game came to him so easily.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Yeah I don't really see Bismack Biyombo developing into anything in the NBA. Isn't he only on the map this year because of one game? Seems like ever since the draft process actually started his stock declined.

Exactly.
Drafting someone solely based of defensive potential is a stupid ass logic anyways.
Look at Thabeet if you want an example.

Thabeet could develop into a nice backup center...if that's what you like from #2 picks. LOL

Centers taken at #2 suck because of the Darko curse lol.
