You probably haven't even heard of 1/3 of them. And pray tell why should Boswell be a OAD? He played 35 games last season
I refuse to let the handful of awful prolific posters get away with bad takes and ruin this board. I wish more quality posters weren't so drowned out by you guys.
Can you say your opinion without complaining, just once? I like that there is someone who disagrees with other people on the board - I think you are wrong - but all drafts are high-variance affairs. We could have a season where a bunch of guys underperform then later on look much better in the NBA, it would be more interesting to see why you think that could be the case rather than the general "all of you are wrong, this class is great, blah, blah, blah." It just isn't adding anything but another super-confrontational poster.
There really are a handful of posters (you, Effect, Evan, Clyde, Colbini and a few more) I've found that ruin this place. YOU people are the confrontational ones. Just go through the threads. You're always going at others and often as a group. And you're going to cry about ME being confrontational because I dish it out better than I get, from these same people? That's rich. I'll let my takes speak for themselves as they age. If you want to be awful towards people and confrontational like a handful of you are, expect pushback. I'd ignore you but I can't allow trolling, awful takes or bad faith tactics to go unchallenged. That would be allowing you handful to ruin what should be a fun place to discuss draft prospects. Not gonna do it
Yes, some of those posters are very confrontational. To the extent that I am, it's generally to tell people to chill, and in this case, I am pretty tired of how you react to disagreement and I think it would be good for you to go back through your posting history and see what it actually looks like (Colbini also is not that confrontational - especially for this forum).
I think you are also doing a bit of a disservice to yourself, some of these posters make some great points and watch a lot of basketball. I know I'm far from the best person on this board at evaluating talent, I just watch some games for fun and like to think I can identify a few hidden gems now and then. Many times, the guys I end up liking are players that the very people you have a problem with point out.
IDK, the level of discussion on this forum needs a lot of work (and it is a hard forum to moderate, I imagine) but you aren't doing anything to elevate it at all so long as you focus on complaining instead of talking about prospects. I'll see myself out, though, I have no interest in continuing the conversation about this, but I do hope that everyone takes a note to refocus a bit.
