I like Dunn's potential a lot. Just don't think he's gonna be ready at least until next season. Consistency is big.

Potential also matters, too. You're going need some higher risk potential take on the top tier teams that have established superstars and established production throughout their lineup.

That's one reason why I took Gordon. Going by production, he's been horrid this season. But what if put him at PF instead of SF, give him a PG that can get him the ball, and add some transition players around him that can run with him when he skies for boards and initiates transition.

I agree, need to improve your team's upside somehow to take on those teams who picked higher and got the bigger talent, its like in real life I think Wizards have more chance to upset anyone than like Celtics, I love Grizzlies but I have my concerns about their upside and how much room they have to improve to topple a supateam in a series, at least they never lost yet against any one of those lol

That's an excellent point that I 100% agree with. The only way to beat the top dogs in snake drafts is to swing for the fences on essentially every pick. Outside of Smart..I mean Dunn, I think you did a really good job at that.

How many do you have on ignore so far

5 or 6 i believe.

but some of it is also similar to how i run my facebook page. those who won't shut the **** up (political talk on facebook, in particular) also are put on ignore list. but they tend to be double culprits.

Yes.

KAT, KP, and Emblid are on it.

The first two don't have restrictions of any kind either. People forget that it was just a couple of weeks ago he helped lead up to victory over Greek Freak. Matching him in production AND getting the win after coming back too early from an injury.

We as fans (speaking generally Greenie, not @ you specifically), are so quick to go into "grass is greener" mode and want to trade or give up on our young players.

This nig*a was supposed to take 4-5 years to develop. INSTEAD, he went from 14 PPG, 7 RPG, 1.3 APG, and 1.5 BPG in Year One --> almost 20 PPG, 8 RPG, and 2 BPG (Top 10 in the LEAGUE! ).

I swear man...

--Mags

I'm not Camp Melo or Camp Porzingis btw. I'm a Knicks fan.

Why bring Melo up?

I'm talking about KP. It's homerism if you think KP is on the same level as Embid and Towns. KP can't even play center full time yet even though he needs to.

I bring Melo up in case anyone thinks I'm favoring him over KP.

Emblid can't even play a FULL GAME yet (or back to backs) and we over here nitpicking about KP playing Center full time yet?!

Also, it's well known that both Embiid and KP are better Rim Protectors than KAT.

It's haterism to think otherwise about KP, as most in the media put those 3 on the same level atm.

--Mags

I don't give a damn what the media thinks. I have my own eyes and brain. KP is not on the same level as Embid or KAT. Will he get there? Who knows.

Also, KP needs a minute restriction and to not play B2B. Coming for Embid when KP has injury and stamina issues himself... :lol:

KP needs to develop a few more moves that I saw him preview early in the season to get on KAT or Embiid's level on offense, as well as eat like Embiid so he can work more in the paint. Right now he's a pure jump shooter.

KP and Embiid are not on the same tier to me. Dude is powering a d league squad to one of its best years in awhile. When a PG can guard you, you not on the same tier as Embiid

El Poochio · Post #248 » by **El Poochio** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 11:31 pm

Yeah I think KP is a notch above Embiid KAT due to pure stroke from 3 and being 7'3, perfect for today's game

IllmaticHandler · Post #249 » by **IllmaticHandler** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 11:37 pm

So we was moving fast until the BP spill

I think they're close to a wash due to availability issues, but Embiid is the better prospect at this point. Guy is good at everything.
