Gives me solace that any of the Top 4 prospects would have gone #1 in weaker drafts such as 2013. It will be harder to build a competitive team this offseason without the two bigs but Russell and Mudiay should be fun to watch and we would be blessed to have them nonetheless.

He's Ginobili 2.0. with some flashes of Harden (and Rubio)

He mentioned in interviews that he tries to model his game after Ginobili, and that Manu has been of the most slept on players in the league

Kris Dunn with 22pts, 9ast, 7reb. Quick with vision..Going to be a nice pickup for some team if he goes pro

He attacks the rim with force, so I don't know who you've been watching because it hasn't been Porzingis. He's not a soft kid and you're 100% mistaken.

Gasol and Dirk came into the NBA as skinny kids too. People grow in weight and mass as they get older you know that right?

I'm not going to act like i'm sitting around staying up til 5 in the morning or whatever to watch Porzingis , but his new draftexpress video isn't exactly very flattering. Looks like he can shoot and is athletic for a 7 footer but they say only a tiny fraction of his shots have been post ups, is way too skinny/weak, isnt a good passer or rebounder, doesn't have a great feel for the game, awareness on D is poor, and he just doesn't seem to have a position right now. He can be good if he lands with the right team in a few years but I don't think that's us. The potential is there of course but he's not even on my radar.

The boy averages over 3 offensive rebounds per game as a stretch 4 and he attacks the rim. He's not who you thought he was. That video is probably your first time seeing the kid. Just don't assume anything on a prospect until you do your research.

His rebounding is good and his defense is good also for a young man. These young kids add weight and gain awareness within time. No young kid is a finish product.

He's not on your radar because you have no research on him. It's just silly to do and this what happens when people get lazy with NBA prospects.

I'm not saying this kid is going to be special, but atleast have a bit of knowledge on him before you assess him.

He or Grant will be excellent NBA PG's, very serviceable.

I see a certain someone looking terrible on the defensive end.

:lol:

It's disgusting, do not want.

Duke has the best post man in the game, yet their guards just keep dribbling and ignores Okafor, and just drives for a bad shot. Smart Coach K.

Yea... I see that also... also notice he doesn't run back on defense well

Goddamn ND is taking Duke's souls, what the fu*k are they doing on defense?

JBreezeNY · Post #4215 » by **JBreezeNY** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 2:12 am

Big boy move by Okie & Tyus speeds up the court for the lay in.

Duke coming back slightly.

Their guards couldn't stop a high school team and they are letting them run.

Offensively they're completely ignoring the best offensive player in the country for some reason (until just now).

Bklyn&company · Post #4217 » by **Bklyn&company** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 2:13 am

Jay Blias just said Okafor is not ready to play defense...lol

Yeaaaaaa that wasn't good at all, they're playing a bit better now though on both ends.

Yikes.

... No... He said he wasn't in his defensive stance and that's why he had to foul and couldn't contest that shot. Quit hating its bad for you.

Nice hook shot.

Held ball? :lol:

Okafor got hacked.
