That's rich coming from the guy claiming we'll all be crying because he's awesome in Minny/New Orleans? I think you might want to go back and read your own posts; we are simply responding to your hyperbole on how Hield's such a "Baller" and "Case closed".
At least the rest of us are open to more than ONE prospect, and aren't covering our ears, closing our eyes, saying "la la la la la...I'm not listening...Hield is great, everyone else stinks...la la la la la..."
That was all said after the billion retorts for my saying I wanted Buddy #4. That was it, then all hell broke lose.

Are you on drugs!?! I am open to everyone, if you don't know that by now, you are either a jackass or new to the conversation or don't know how to read......What a crock of ****!
So, you never said this?
...we'll all be crying because he's awesome in Minny/New Orleans?
...or that it's basically Hield or bust earlier?
So, cool. You ar open to Bender over Hield? Chriss? Ellenson? Brown? Dunn? Poeltl?
You tell me who you would be ok with over Hield at 4, then. Because earlier, you simply stated that it was the end of the conversation, and Hield is the guy we should draft at 4, right??
On earlier days, yes, you've been open, but ALL DAY today has been 'Hield or bust' with you, so don't act like you've been 'open to everyone' today; everything before today is negated by your earlier comment:
JMac1 wrote:Bottomline, to argue against Hield is ludicrous (Speed). I am not going back an forth about Buddy. He is a baller, period!
I also stated:
You mean like have fewer TOs? Have comparable EFF, EFF/40, PER, TS%, eFG%, FT%, and has been referred to as the most athletically gifted prospect in 15 years? That kind of 'done nothing'?? Just checking. Especially considering he was much further ahead of Dunn and Hield in these areas as Freshman, and while that doesn't portend future success, the point is, he was more advanced than either Hield or Dunn at the same age. Oh, and then there's the fact that we don't have any PFs, yet have 5-6 Guards on the roster.
So it's not as if Chriss is some 2nd Rd talent being considered at 4th overall, and that he "hasn't performed"...he's raw, and young, but again, was wll ahead of where Dunn and Hield were at their respective positions at the same points in their careers.
A Freshman PF that averages 35% from 3, 69% from FT% is an offensively gifted talent, even if extremely raw, and claiming he 'hasn't performed" is a tad bit on the hyperbolic side.
to your post of:
Then people say what's wrong with you how can you like the guy who did something over a guy who has done nothing? are you crazy? Then make excuses about why the guy who performed isn't worthy and then tell me the guy who hasn't performed is a better pick and tell me I am crazy? Wow!
Ignore what is and create what isn't. I understand potential, but I also understand a dude who can ball.
You have literally shot down any other prospect @ 4 today in favor of Hield, so don't tell me it's a 'crock of ****'
You show me ONE post from you today saying you'd be happy with any other prospect over Hield at 4, and I'll recant, but you can't, because you didn't. So don't act like you've been so magnanimous and open-minded about our selection @ 4 that involves us taking anyone other than Hield @ 4 if Hield is there for the taking.
You've basically stated that Hield has proven himself, and no one else has that is a Freshman; Hield's ONE Senior Season is proof, but anyone else's Freshman season "has done nothing" or "hasn't performed". Just because a guy has played 4 seasons DOESN'T mean he's played 4 seasons at a high-level. And that is the case with Hield. Had he come out after his Junior season, we wouldn't even be talking about him in the 1st Rd. Ellenson, Chriss, Murray, Poeltl, and Davis' Freshman/Sophomore seasons were ALL better than what Hield did during his Junior season.
So no, I am NOT on drugs, I am NOT crazy, I'm NOT delusional, I DO know how to read, and I am NOT a jackass...well, ok I am, but that's beside the point--you've been on the Hield Hype Train ALL DAY, and everyone else here can see it, and you have not entertained a SINGLE other option @ 4 than Hield, all day, so don't act like you've been 'open' to other prospects at 4, and have madeit abundantly clear that Hield is your choice, and no one else deserves to be considered over him, and I'm pretty sure there are at least 10 posters here that can back me up on that statement.
