Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII

You are welcome to wait and see. I see no harm in discussing his possibilities. Is that ok?

So you haven't posted multiple player comparisons about Oladipo?

A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

If he can eventually play elite defense while knocking down the 3 with about at least 37-38% accuracy when needed, then I am fine with that. Because, this team will have plenty of scorers via Ola, Vuc, Harris and Afflalo (if still here). He can average 11/4/3 for all I care.
I don't care if he becomes a great shooter - though I'd be happy and pleasantly surprised if he did.
What I DO require of my starting small forward is the ability to hit a wide open mid-range jumper, which Moe seems to still struggle with when he's been left alone. He really needs to improve there just to help keep the defense honest.

Absolutely. Even if we were a contender make sure he's 100% Games in Oct and Nov aren't nearly as important.

sure but i've never said that i wanted him to become great overnight which is what i'm referring to when i'm asking people to wait. You can compare all day but at the day only a few players is amazing from day one, others it takes time. All i'm trying to say

I'm with you bobby. I don't really understand harks haters on here as much as I would want to. But I am unfamiliar with your dipo comparison posts. Although I would say dipo came into the league with more talent than Harkless from day 1.

Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII
I for one am hyped about Harris and Dipo's potential. I am extremely enthused by fans of other teams faith in them both. Yet I want a top 5 draft pick next year. I am experiencing bipolar disorder.

In my opinion, Harkless gets a lot of hate because they see the potential Harris and Oladipo have and they think Harkless is a bust because he's not on their level yet.
Harkless has a lot of potential too, it'll just take him longer to get there than Vic and Tobias... If he ever does reach his full potential.

Your sig has bothered me for years as I am not a man of faith. But I understand your logic. To place potential on our players, I would say
Dipo
Harris
Harkless
Though i want to be confident in them all .
Agreed sir

There is this one guy named Nikola Vucevic that would like to have a word with you good sir.

Did you watch any preseason games? Vuc has bulked up and seemed to take his defense much more seriously. I was one of his biggest critics last years (for his defense) but he really impressed me with his physicality so far.
