The Zach LaVine Thread

[Twolf16]

Are we going to analyze how he shook hands with Silver as well?

It's funny because he still doesn't want to be here! Oh well, cheers to athleticism.

I'm guessing someone really smart posted the same type of comment after Rubio didn't look happy to be drafted by the Wolves.

Did Rubio say "F*** ME"? Where his employers and fan base could see? Not to mention millions of other people...

Why not, it's on video.

If only he could smile like Jonny Flynn and Wes Johnson.

Did he need to when he leaned forward so effectively when talking to Flip? Money in the bank.

Hopefully he doesn't have the early signs of osteoporosis or people will have another think to complain about.

Exactly, but more like 95 percent of draftees!

Literally sound just like those wonderful posters back then.

Who's complaining? I don't think it matters whether he was mad about being picked or not. I'm amused about what qualifies for consideration though.

Are you reading this board right now? The vast majority is complaining. Which is a good thing. Like I said, it must mean we did something right.

What is your point? As a fan base we definitely get the privilege to overreact. Even if he becomes a superstar.

Why not have some patience? Like we learned with Kevin Love.

Like I said, I don't care about his reaction. I care about his lack of basketball skills though. I also think your selective memory about past decisions/reactions/outcomes is interesting too, but whatever makes you feel better.

[Murphs56]

Whether or not he was overcome with emotion or disappointed, I don't really care. I just want to see if he can play. I hear a lot of Potential and Athleticism. Usually when you hear those 2 words mixed together, it means he's lacking in important areas

Yes, my selective memory is completely forgetting the complete meltdown of the OJ Mayo debacle.

I will sleep just fine, because I don't spazz out like the majority of this board every year during the draft.

Luckily people loved the Flynn situation and that turned out well. And nobody questioned Wes Johnson's selection. Get real.

Patience, for some, is limited, and when things don't go our way, we loose it. Complaining reduces stress, allowing us to regain our equilibrium and make better judgements. I know many of us (myself) are overly upset, but he literally said those words upon being drafted. It is hard to be hopeful and patient when this kid should just smile and be happy he got a job.

Maybe take a step back and not take this stuff too seriously. Read whatever you want out of it. I'll just get the popcorn and enjoy the ridiculous posts. Like every year.

and plenty of people bought into the Wes Johnson hype, and the Jonny Flynn hype. How soon the board forgets.

Some of you guys are just hating on LaVine. He's a stud! Say you were the GM, who would you rather draft then?

And plenty of people hated trading Trey Burke, and loved Derrick Williams. Time to realize this board at draft time is absolutely ridiculous.

[AttackTheRack]

Good pick. He has upside - a lot of it. Rubio can work with him, easily. Same with GR3. Good athletes, good skills.

Ha, speak for yourself.

If it has this magical inverse predictive power, we should surely pay attention. Someone should call Flip as well.
