Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII

[The Real Dalic]

Yeah, my list looks like yours Gomagic44.

I have Dipo and Harris as the two best but Vuc is not that far from Harris IMO.

[OrlChamps2030]

my gosh can't we just wait and see? throwing around names is fun but in reality only time will tell. That being said everyone always has an opinion

So you haven't posted multiple player comparisons about Oladipo?

sure but i've never said that i wanted him to become great overnight which is what i'm referring to when i'm asking people to wait. You can compare all day but at the day only a few players is amazing from day one, others it takes time. All i'm trying to say

just playing around man.. comparisons get thrown around some get carried away but its the offseason lol

[Gomagic44]

[quote="thelead"][quote="Gomagic44"]Word, I apologize to the Vuc god for lack of mention.

Until Vuc shows any sort of defense* forgive me*

Dipo
Harris
Vuc
Harkless[/quote]

Did you watch any preseason games? Vuc has bulked up and seemed to take his defense much more seriously. I was one of his biggest critics last years (for his defense) but he really impressed me with his physicality so far.[/quote]

I freakin pray to the god I don't believe in that your right. Vuc showed promise in one freakin game, he needs tosh ow more.

Hark has more to prove. Everyone approves vuc's offense and condemns his defense .

[OrlandO]

↑ I thought Vuc played well in three games... Houston, Memphis (fouled out, but he was great while in) and the 2nd NO meeting.

[Orlwillbeback]

vuc was going toe to toe with Gasol before he fouled out. I expect him to improve.

I for one am hyped about Harris and Dipo's potential. I am extremely enthused by fans of other teams faith in them both. Yet I want a top 5 draft pick next year. I am experiencing bipolar disorder.

We are going to lose a lot of games this year. I am expecting 26 wins and that's being optimistic. There are gonna be some really ugly games, like the Spurs game for example, but I think we are going to be really exciting to watch despite the loses because of the continued development of Harris, Hark, Vuc, AN, OQ and the emergence of our spectacular rookie Dipo. There will be some spectacular plays, will be more fun than last year and I enjoyed last year. The foundation is strengthening.

[Last Guardian]

I am going to thoroughly enjoy watching this team....but we are going to suck real bad I think.

[Magicalltheway]

Where is game thread so that I can post my irrational predictions!?

[BadMofoPimp]

As much as I want to see Harris and Oladipo become great quick, half the fun is watching the team improve each year to become great. It was a great experience watching those Pistons improve each year and prove everyone wrong. And, I mean everyone. Especially, all those doubters here on RealGM during that run. There was much more trollers on RealGM back then. . .

[I Rasharted]

Game thread. Where it at. Want can haz thread.

[Blue_and_Whte]

I'm with you bobby. I don't really understand harks haters on here as much as I would want to. But I am unfamiliar with your dipo comparison posts. Although I would say dipo came into the league with more talent than Harkless from day 1.

Not taking anything away from Dipo but he also played 3 years of college ball at his true position while Hark had to play PF, SF and C at St. Johns which I think is insane.

Either way people want instant gratification, It's how this generation is, they dont want to have to wait for the development process to take it's course. They see one player with a certain skill set so that autmatically means every other player his age has to have that exact same skill set. People also make up these imaginary, RealGM mandated numbers, that a player "Has to avg" in order to be considered good and if he isn't putting up those EXACT SAME NUMBERS THEE DAY he plays his first game then "he's a bust" or, "he isn't good." While pretending that a player that they obviously have decided they dont like throw around garbage like "he'll never learn to dribble or shoot" despite years and years of player development saying otherwise.


imo...

Id predict Hark's statistical ceiling is Luol Deng(stats not game) and floor is Thabo Sefolosha. Becoming Deng would be great. Being Thabo would be fine too, and that is not a bad thing. Thabo is a disruptive force and key part of that OKC team and its success over the last five years. People have to realize that we arent going to have 5-6 guys averaging 15 ppg+ and making allstar teams.

GAME DAY!

LET'S GO MAGIC & LET'S GO EVERYONE vs. DEV and NYK!!!!!!!

Deng plays Great defense. They have two different types of games. Harris plays more like Carmelo as he is mroe offense than defense. I think Harris could average more points and boards than Deng mainly because he is on the Magic.

Need game thread to voice my ridiculous predictions!

[BadMofoPimp]

I don't think anyone volunteered to make todays thread yet. Lol. We could be waiting all day for nothing! hahaha
