The UNC-FSU game has turned into a snorefest. I damn near fell asleep.

Steely Reserve wrote:I also called the Kanter and Derrick Williams hype as over-reaching efforts by the online communication to sound like they know what they're talking about. As excited you all are about Drummond and Davis now, you were the same way for Kanter and Derrick Williams then.

Just as I promoted Jonas while you all hated last year (until draft day), you all are doing the same for Perry this year.

Nothing shocking here. I like your forum. You all give me the platform to do what I do -- which is provide cutting edge scouting analysis.


I also called Derrick William as overrated and stated that he projects more as a power forward than a small forward. Go back and read the 2011 draft thread if you like. You don't see me pontificating about it after the fact though, do you?

Let me guess, you are the only one on realgm that don't think so while every posters, every gms and every scouts declare Davis and Drummond as top 2 :roll:


PJ3 is more #1 pick worthy than MKG, based on potential. He should have stuck with his first choice. Mind you, he also thinks he's a small forward at the next level for some reason.

Personally, my top 3 in terms of pure potential (not early pro production) would be:

Drummond
Davis
Perry Jones


Yup PJ3 is #1 pick worthy, I hear ya :lol: thanks for the comical laugh. But I have to say, PJ3 that can prove he can play SF and being assertive with killer instinct could end up 1st pick but too bad he isn't. Lol at your pure potential and you put those two in there but you do not agree that they are in the top 2 (ADs) you're just confusing me so whatever.


I think you're confusing me with another poster (for the love of God, don't confuse me with Steely Reserve). I do agree that Drummond and Davis are top two.

Has anyone played any kind of defense in the Baylor game? Seriously?

Baylor guards are dumb as a box of rocks.

Can you imagine a Kyrie Irving + Perry Jones combo?!?!?

Did anyone else watch Texas-Missouri game?
Kabongo has a feel for the game I haven't seen in many prospects. For PG's speed and vision is a rare combination and I would really try to get a later pick for him if we had the opportunity.

12 points and 10 assists. I am surprised that the game wasn't even close when he puts up numbers like that. How was his defence?

I hope we can get Kabongo somehow. If our pick ends up dropping to the 10-15 range... I want him. He has so much potential to be one of the better PGs in the league with the way he can pass and run a team. I could see a Rubio-like effect for him in Toronto... it would be huge. If we can get a top 7 pick to grab BPA, then get another to get Kabongo... I have ultimate faith in BC to bring us back to prosperity.

Dream scenario: drat Davis and Kabongo. Trade Bargnani for a legit star potential SF.
