The OFFICIAL Rookie impressions thread

[Blkbrd671]

Also it isn't about who Byron picked. Byron didn't pick Waiters, and no cavs fan is saying he did. You obviously don't follow our team, but it was veyr weird how giddy Byron was over waiters, especially from a guy who is notoriously hard on players, ESPECIALLY Rookies.

i honestly can't tell if your arguing or agreeing or even referring to any post.

I'm referring to the post that I quoted, the post that specifically talked about Byron scott and his drafting. So just on that basic point you fail. Secondly, I was addressing the two false points that 1). Byron Scott drafted waiters (he didn't) and 2) Byron Scott is a bad evaluator of talent (he isn't).

It's hilarious every time i see you spam random threads. despite your exccessive posting, people generally don't want to deal with you because you sound so simple.

Also, I can't get over the fact that you cut out the first sentence of my post, cut the post I was quoting, and then had the nerve to say "i honestly can't tell if your arguing or agreeing or even referring to any post."

Not a rookie but last year in the early going I was thrashing Klay Thompson because of how much of a scrub he looked, but he really came around towards the 2nd half of the season and had a good game tonight.

[Cro_Ruption]

lillard played well.

[Cro_Ruption]

Lillard with 50% shooting, 20 points, but 1 more turnover than assist.


Unselfish scoring PG, with a high floor but low ceiling, seems to remain the MO at the moment.

yeah, but if his teamates weren't trying to build a house with all them bricks, he would have had more.

"So even as Waiters' name stayed out of the mainstream news, as the days passed he was in the Cavs' internal headlines. Coach Byron Scott had fallen in love with Waiters' ability after watching plenty of film. As far as Scott was concerned, getting the 6-foot-4 shooting guard would be hitting a jackpot."

I will take Byron's opinion over RealGM

Byron Scott's Team picks:

2000: #1 - Kenyon Martin. Good pick at the time.

2001: #7 - Eddie Griffin. Passed Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Zach Randolph, Gerald Wallace, Dalembert, Parker, Arenas.

2005: #4 - Chris Paul. No brainer pick at the time. Everyone thought Utah had gone crazy. Still credit to the org.

2007: #13 - Julian Wright. Not in the NBA

LOL your such a joke. 6ft pg who was suspended for punching a guy in the balls was a no brainer pick.

You're pretty delusional, but I guess ignorance is bliss. Enjoy Waiters.

i just got that you were referring to chris paul and accidentally deleted the first sentence. and how was that a not a no brainer pick? because he lost his temper and made a dumb move ,so teams ignore his skill set? you also fail to respond to why he made all those other horrible picks? or do we just ignore those?

Additionally why you taking it so personally that ppl don't know that Byron scott didn't draft waiters, which is a reasonable assumption being that HE'S THE HEAD COACH.

idk if Byron Scotts a bad evaluator of talent, i know he's a good head coach, but when you look at some of his picks, it does bring up a good point. i've read that Cavs have used advanced stats as basis for TT and Waiters, idk who's making those decisions, but personally i don't see anything in TT that screams franchise front court especially at #4, and i don't see anything in waiters that warrants passing up a huge talent in barnes.

It seems as your saying don't blame Byron for picking Waiters because he didn't but byron really liked him. how the hell does that make sense?

Its fine if you feel threatened and feel the need to attack me, but posting in threads that i feel interest me is not spamming, it called being a member. But if you feel like you need to over exaggerate as well as make reaching comments, its your purgative .

Lastly i was joking with you in my response, i didn't realize you were this sensitive and will refrain from making any harsh comment towards you since you take it obviously personally.

Crowder 20 points(18 in the 4th), I like what I see.Banging the offensive glass+decent midrange and 3pt game

How was his defense and did he play mostly at the 2 or 3? He was one of my favorite prospects and wanted him to fall one more spot bad. I think Mavs fans will be very pleased with the guy. Took a lot of shots in 15 minutes but was effective (except his FTs) getting 2 assists and 5 rebounds in 15 minutes

Byron scott, personally drafted CP3 and Kyrie Irving, because thats what head coaches do. Scout and ultimately draft players. Byron Scott, Goat pg drafter.

LOL i'm done guys. You are ridiculous.

So how did mike brown pull off geeting Steve Nash and Dwight Howard in the same offseason. Crazy.

Not being sarcastic. Byron Scott has personally drafted CP3 and Kyrie Irving, so Waiters must be pretty good.

He also picked eddie griffin and julian wright, so it should be concerning.

He played the 4.

I know nothing about Crowder, but I have no idea how a guy could go 4-6 from 3 and 0-5 from the FT line.

Can we all just get along?

[princeofpalace]

Lillard certainly doesn't play like a real PG, not even in the Rose/Westbrook mold. Hes more of a combo guard IMO.

there is no such thing as a "real" PG. you either play the position or you don't. lillard's a better PnR player and shooter than either of those guys coming into the league, so he does have that going for him.

[roc]

A lot of bickering over silly stuff. All GMs make mistakes in the draft on occasion some more than others some very rarely.

That same draft with Eddie Griffin we also skipped on all those names (except JJ) when we drafted Rodney White. Darko was a guy most GMs would have picked at 2 and Joe D did. It was a bust pick, is what it is.

Hindsight is 20/20 so until we have that advantage we are all just speculating on how these guys will turn out. Nothing wrong with speculating of course, it can be fun.
