His bust potential seems pretty low and his floor should still be a pretty productive player. His ceiling is something that doesn't seem like a total reach anymore. I could definitely envision him being a borderline all-star PF.
If his height/wingspan do turn out to be solid then he certainly would be BPA if he falls to us.
That's exactly how I jumped on board.
When he was once seen as a top 3 candidate last year it was very easy to look for holes and think... "Wow, I want more out of my top 3 pick." We all become defensive there because we expect more. I'd probably be doing the same thing if I had a top 3 pick and Thomas Robinson was there. You want to land a superstar there at 3 badly. But at 8... it's a very different story. You have to think BPA in this range and if you're looking at a guy that looks an awful lot like a prime Z-bo at age 20 with no gun charges or negative ego issues then you've got to think long and hard about it.
This guy was born and raised in Ohio, too! And loyal enough to go to State University and come back despite being touted as a lottery pick. He's used to cold weather and he's loyal!
Yeah, I can't see him not avg 20 and 10 in his prime. He's polish and intense, its hard not to see him being an offensive/rebounding threat. I've gone through the blazers/warriors board and I saw a lot of people judging on his performance during tourney...well its unfair considering he went against Whitey (that's a 7 footer right there!) and though he gets blocked alot but he can gather himself quickly to get the ball back and go for a 2nd chance or draw for contact.
People should never question his effort and intensity in the paint, he's just so active out there. There's people rather want T-Rob at 4 than Sully but T-Rob isn't available. It'll take T-Rob time to adjust to the league but Sully can contribute from day 1 because he's got a mature game that fits NBA style. Also he can basically do all the complicated things that Bargs can't do (e.g. reboundball and toughness).
Its just sad that BC and Casey are so committed to Bargs. It makes me sick.
Haven't you heard what to do with a girl with a nice body and ugly face? Cover the face, f**k the base??? Hahaha
