I have learned to NEVER respond to somebody with under 100 posts talking trash. It's a 99% chance they are some other troll making up a new account. Please Klomp and everyone else. Don't engage this person.

Hes got 50 other names ready to go, sadly

Lol, you guys are just sad. I was off by 2% on his 3's. And he was well under 70% shooting for the two years combined just like I said. You guys act like 30% 3's is light years better than 28%, lol.

I'm going to give you one response. His 3 point shooting for the two years was average. His FT% is bit below average. BFD. He has so many good points besides that he was considered by the majority to be the 4th best player in this draft. He is our player now. Do you want to incessantly whine? I have you on record that you don't like the pick. If Culver sucks I will praise your genius. You don't have to say any more about it.

Draft twitter absolutely loved this guy, they all believed he was in the same tier as Morant and many had him as the 2nd best player in the draft. Not sure if this has been posted already but this is a great report on him:

He doesn't need to be a sniper. If he can hit 36% of his 3s he should be fine, at least when you combine it with the other parts of his game.

Hopefully I remember watching him play against Duke and thought he was the best player on the floor that game , hope the shooting in the ncaa tourney was just a bad slump.

Trolling or not. You could also just let him get out his disapproval however many posts it takes. Top 6 picks that shoot 30% threes "in this days nba", as everyone points out is so important to qualify everything with, is really not all that defensible. It just is what it is. Let him say and complain about it. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you need to alter the rules of what is acceptable for shooting in the NBA or what is acceptable for posting. How about you simply "say no more" about his opinion. Stop trolling his opinion. We have you on record of liking the pick. Say no more.

Did I ever say I like the pick? I really don't remember.
I think he was the best available player for our pick. I think the only other reasonable choice was White and I think 95% of the analysts had Culver as a better player than White. As for 30% threes that is not accurate. He shot 34.1 % on 3s for his college career. To continuously harp on one thing that you aren't even correct about is more than I want to hear. Posters that ignore every positive aspect regarding a player I get bored with. I gave a recommendation to him regarding that. He's not obligated to follow my recommendation. If he doesn't I may put him on ignore. You have recommended I make no more positive posts regarding Culver. I'm not going to follow that recommendation. If I make too many positive posts regarding him for you than you can place me on ignore.

33% on 3s is the same as 50% on twos. He should be fine with that. His college career he averaged 34.1% IIRC.

His ability to finish with either hand is impressive

I see a lot of the same qualities as Kawhi coming out of college. Culver needs to bulk up a bit but I really love his potential on both sides of the ball.

I think he could definitely be a star. Kawhi has some physical traits that are hard to match though. I expect Culver to settle in at 215 pounds in 2 years.

The fact he has made almost 35% of his 3's over 300 attempts with an unpolished mechanic and is willing to take a word on it is auspicious IMO.

Also, spended some time reading his thread in the draft section:

1. He went in at 6'5 to college and has grown since then. Other sophmores as George also kept growing even in the NBA. Watch out.

2. Was compared to Evan Turner (which I think is a reasonable floor, since he never added much to his game and was almost 1.5 year older at the draft), Kawhi (as he is methodical with his foot work and body balance).Kawhi was a better rebounder and has more lenght, but Culver had a 16 board game which is impressive for a guard.

3. Somebody mentioned the efficency of his movements as he understand angles on both sides of the floor. He can navigate screens with his nimble feet but also good frame to not be pushed around. People mentioned Klay as defensive comparison since he has size to switch but ceiling is a better team defender.

And he led a no name basketball school to the national finals. Unfortunately he had a bad shooting final or his no name team is national champs.

I kinda see him as becoming somewhere between a Nick Anderson and Paul Pierce offensively, but a better defender than both of them.

jpatrick · Post #139 » by **jpatrick** » Mon Jun 24, 2019 1:53 am

I’m starting to come around on Culver. I just had visions of Evan Turner floating in my head, which I still think is a possibility if Culver doesn’t improve his three point percentage to league average on volume. But I think he will.

I do think it’s important to pair him with a PG that can play off the ball and shoot, allowing Culver to initiate semi-regularly. You know, someone like Dlo.

I'd be pretty happy with a Tayshun Prince. May not be the star I want but if you could get an elite role player, that's really good too. Those guys help you win championships. Jimmy Butler was above tha but he is in that same vein, a guy who just contributes to winning. Prince, Covington, AK47, those are dream players for a team. They do the right things time and time again. Starting to sound like Culver could be that.
