So you envision him transitioning to a wing player in the nba

Yessuh.

You think he's going to end up better than Winslow/Johnson/Russell?

Post #144 » by **TyCobb** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 8:48 am

Well, Russell is a point guard who can score and the other two are legit 3's. Looney is better than Winslow...debatable with Johnson. Personally I don't trust the prospects from Mater Dei, although he's probably the best of them all.

Best available player, period... We need help across the board... Looney will be a beast in NBA... This season sucks... We need a reason to believe...

is Looney comparable to Rashard Lewis? Just a little bit bigger?

Post #147 » by **TyCobb** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 8:16 pm

Looney is more Antawn Jamison than Rashard Lewis.

I realistically see this team winning 10 more games, so the pick is pretty safe imo.

I don't know who I'd want in the Top 5 because we have so many needs, but as long as our HOU pick gets WCS I will be fine

Don't think we will fall that far.

amen brother!

but i doubt we could snag him with a 20 something pick

for top 5 i would go for either hezonja, johnson, looney, or mudiay. but heck, ill be happy with anyone if we could hold onto that top 5 pick

What's Hezonja like, anyone?

Philly don't even have the 2nd worst record now. Hinkie can't even tank properly. That Rubio injury probably screwed everyone over. If NYK & MIN had atleast been treadmilling we'd be locked in for the 2nd worst record.

Michael Lucky · Post #154 » by **Michael Lucky** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:47 am

Well at least Min has Pekovic back. I don't know what's up with Rubio though. 35 games out now for a sprained ankle? lol

Martin should be back late this week too.

Post #156 » by **Slava** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:59 am

Martin will very likely be gone before the trade deadline. He should have plenty of demand in the market.

"Weaknesses: Hezonja has incredible intensity, but sometimes that manifests itself in him being too hard on himself and especially teammates. He's been seen getting in the face of teammates when they don't play up to his expectations ..."

"..In one-on-one defense, he doesn't always exhibit enough intensity, but sometimes that is understandable in order for him to be as prolific as he is offensively ... "

we could use some international star power on this team.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but he kind of sounds ginobli'ish to me.

Russell putting on a show at Northwestern. I understand why he gets the Harden comparisons.

Who will win the national championship?
