theres 0% chance oladipo is going to be a superstar. at best he'll be a great role player. he's too much of a liability on offense to be anything more.

EXTRA EXTRA! Read all about it!

Shabazz Muhammed's father has been indicted on federal fraud charges for obtaining mortgage loans by fraudulent means.

According to the indictment, Holmes and a number of unnamed associates obtained "mortgage loans by fraudulent means to buy houses," from 2006 to 2009. Holmes was detained Thursday in Las Vegas and has pleaded not guilty to bank fraud, as well as counts for conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud.

This is not the first instance of Holmes finding trouble with the law. In an extremely similar story from 2000, Holmes was sentenced to six months of house arrest for fraud involving multiple mortgages in Los Angeles County that were obtained using false information.

^so true. He is more of a 6-11 pick then the #2. Bmac, who i am not too high on, has the ability to be an all start. We have enough role players, i want a chance on a future superstar.

Because the meek inherit the Earth.

Also, Jameer was taken choosen #20 not #2. At 20th, teams can take more risks.

Mclemore an all-star? Hardly, he's a good shooter and has great athleticism but he can't create on his own and with all that athleticism he can't finish consistently in traffic if it's not a fast break. Not to mention when the pressure is on he folds like a bad hand in poker.

Someone sell me on him because I don't see all-star when I look at Mclemore, I'm sorry

If both Noel and McLemore were on the board then i would probably trade Harris or Harkless for #3.

My want is for Cleveland to take Porter, we scoop up Noel at #2, get #13 from Dallas and take MCW or Schroder

end up with Wiggins next season whom is said to be able to play the 2 with

MCW/Meer
Wiggins/Harkless
Harris/Harkless
Noel/Nicholson
Vucci/Noel/KOQ

Oh my. Harris averaged almost 20 points a game and you'd trade him??? Not to mention Hark who is just getting started at 19 years old and is already giving us glimpses of what he can do. I wouldn't trade them for BMac and Noel straight up. Are you being serious?

Its too early to make assumptions like that since we don't know yet but its possible that he can improve his handle and his overall game. If he does then yes he can be an allstar. He has the shooting touch and the athleticism to do it. He is only 20, still has a lot of time to improve and prove himself.
