Mike Miller>Melo. Joel>Chandler.

karl you better play Jordan Hamilton over Brewer for the rest of the year.

Faried sucks on defense for a guy who tries as hard as he does.

BuckeyeDan17 · 11-15-2012, 11:22 PM

Dream killer, Mike miller

soybean · 11-15-2012, 11:27 PM

For as much **** as he gets and how incredibly dumb he is. I'm a Javale McGee fan.

He'll get a bit better as he goes along. Still beats the guy you drafted number 2 that year.

yo123 · 11-15-2012, 11:39 PM

I know you love judging players with less than 2 years of experience like Bledsoe, but Williams isn't a lost cause yet.

Brodeur · 11-15-2012, 11:43 PM

I just said that I wouldn't rush to call Bledsoe amazing. He's been very good this year, but I don't think he'd be THAT sought after as a starting PG at this point. Williams is pretty bad at this point, can't say I see much in him. Sort of like Beasley, in that both suck and hold/held the Wolves back.

yo123 · 11-15-2012, 11:44 PM

Looks bad so far, he still has some tools to work with though. We'll see. He was such a good outside shooter in college, absolutely none of that has translated for some reason. He can't finish for **** either. Gets to the basket with ease and misses easy shots. He's really annoying to watch.

Also, the Wolves signed Josh Howard. Gross.

Brodeur · 11-15-2012, 11:45 PM

At least Knight can make some threes. Wasn't Williams calling card how NBA ready he was? I mean, he's pretty much worthless in his second year, so...

BuckeyeDan17 · 11-15-2012, 11:47 PM

The hell with the 2011 draft

yo123 · 11-15-2012, 11:48 PM

You responded before my edit. Knight and Williams are probably about even right now. Going forward I'd still take Derrick though. If he can just learn to finish...

The current roster isn't set up well for him to even get minutes though. He might need a change of scenery.

Kyrie still looks fine. Umm, Faried is good (see: this game), Kawhi was good last year, Kemba looks improved (still needs work though), there's some decent roleplayers like Singler, Parsons, Shumpert and so forth...Jonas/Kanter have developing to do.

For some reason Klay Thompson is thought of as good, when he isn't.

I wanted him to slip to 4. Are you guys playing him at the 3 or 4? I thought he was a nice prospect but you guys have been so logjammed at forward

yo123 · 11-15-2012, 11:53 PM

Klay's shot is off so far this year (all of GS's scorers percentages are awful this year so far actually)

He'll be fine though. That stroke is perfect.

soybean · 11-15-2012, 11:54 PM

Noris Cole sucks.

Not like he shot that well last year, either. And he doesn't have any other skills of note. Also, did Karl seriously just take McGee out?

A little bit of both, but if he doesn't fix whatever is wrong with his jumper the thought of him playing the 3 longterm might have to go. More of a natural 4 anyway.

44% from the field and 41% from three as a rookie who shoots a lot of threes? What's wrong with that?

TheBoyWonder22 · 11-15-2012, 11:58 PM

McGee is the ****, he just gets a bad rap. Tonight's mid-range performance is just a flash in the pan though.

It's just meh when he never got to the line. Seriously, Karl is going to blow this by keeping Brewer in instead of McGee.

yo123 · 11-15-2012, 11:59 PM

Karl has this weird idea that Brewer is a good option to have on Lebron. He isn't.

I cant stand how much Irving turns the ball over - some of it could be attributed to his less-than-stellar stamina. That's my biggest problem with him right now. Faried makes me hate Tristan Thompson. I agree with the rest, I guess I just meant that the very top didn't seem to have any outstanding prospects, Imo. I never was into Jonas.
