adams isn't on the radar. and with an inconsistent 3, there's nothing to really hang his hat on except steals and court smarts but that doesn't get it done in the nba. he came it at around 40 > 60 ranked hs player, those guys don't leave unless they explode. he's playing as a solid 40>60 player should and therefore should leave just as a 40 > 60 player should.

note: the scouts who frequent pauley and sit together in the bleachers are not looking at him.
note: isaac hamilton, who is sitting out the year, is the superior frosh in practice.
note: curry stayed 3yrs :)


Adams probably won't be a Bruin whether he declares for the draft or not. At least that's what UCLA fans think, he got issues.

ummmm NO, because I'm a Bruin and he's never had issues unless you're reading into his dnp. nor is any poster on any bruin board thinking as such.he's the one who convinced parker not to leave !

Yep Powell as well. Should be one of the more athletic lineups next season.

i wouldn't count out welsch starting from the jump since parker is a slug who sucks on both ends.

parker,,,,,welsh
looney,,,,,bolden, bail
adams,,,,, powell, hamilton,lavine, alford all get equal minutes.
powell becaue he's a senior. adams carryover from this year. hamilton is just better than the others. scouts sit in section 109 - they are NOT looking at adams.

but i believe we're straying from the board topic :D

he has a ton of potential. he just has to put it all together to be a consistent scoring threat. as rubio has shown, if you can't be a scoring threat, you limit your team.

Very overrated prospect by realgm. I don't see him being more than a Jordan Crawford level scorer.

that's a strange thing to say. crawford has carved himself out a nice career and has been one of the best 6th man scorers in the league for years.

I see a smaller but more athletic Nick Young. Just as sweet of a shot and just as dumb.

My impressions is that he's got the opposite kind of basketball personality. Jordan Crawford is beyond cocky as a player - leading him to take all kinds of terrible shots. Lavine seems to need a shot of self-confidence and be more aggressive offensively. Lavine is also a better athlete.

I was just referring to what I think lavines impact level will be, not saying Crawford is his doppelgänger.

zach hasn't had a single "impactful" play or game against meaningful competition, so in that respect he's not even a nick young.

What team would offer Lavine the best fit in terms of time, development, minutes and teammates?

I would love to see Boston try and make him a running partner with Rondo

phx - lots of young talent, fast tempo/transition buckets. mason plumlee can help hide lavine on defense.

Orlando. Pair him with Oladipo and let Zach run point with Oladipo, and you got a real nice combo.
