He had the drive to be great at Whitney Young. He had the drive to be great at Duke. I don't think it's drive. I don't think he's Demarcus Cousins. I think there may be something to foul trouble being a cause but that's gonna be an issue in the NBA too. If Coach K is gonna tell him "don't foul," what do you think Flip's gonna do? Drive isn't why he sucks at FT's. His big ass hands have something to do with that. His lack of rim protection isn't drive. A shytty BBIQ on that end and lack of verticality may be the cause. Add to this the fact that he may be headed to a team with crap C depth and a coaching staff that turned Gorgui from good defensive 5 to crap defensive 4, well, doesn't bode well.

I agree with the coaching part. If he goes to the wrong coaching staff he'll be doomed on that end.


As far as his work ethic I cant speak on that. I don't know how much he works on his game. I just don't think its fair to just assume he's hopeless on defense. If he gives a fukk and with the right coaching he'll be ok

You'd rather have them "play hard" and end up with fukking trey lyles.

Shut up with your bytching. This team was GARBAGE before the season started, had no chance to compete, and if they would have FINISHED the tanking job instead of "playing hard" like you kept begging for... we'd likely have the first pick.

Instead, they won two MEANINGLESS fukkING GAMES ... and now we have the fourth.


Aren't you happy? They didn't tank! They played hard! LOOK AT ALL THE MOTHERfukkING GRIT AND SEASONING they gained, all that bullshyt you were crying for all season, whining like a fukking baby...

And now here they are, with the 4th pick, because they won some meaningless games - just like you wanted them to - and you're bytching about the result of your mis-guided strategy.

But langston galloway got that good game experience, and tim hardaway got to get an extra win... hopefully that will breed winners like you kept telling us it would. Hopefully that kind of heart will bring free agents like you promised.





Holy shyt.

:heh: calm down there champ . I hate tanking due to the randomness of the draft lottery. I was fuming in the season thread and this one about the unnecessary wins they got so idk where you're a coming from acting like I said otherwise . I'm mad at that and the fact we were the only ones who draft position dropped . Once we sucked beyond repair I was team tank breh but once I heard towns being a Knicks fan I wanted him

I'll give you Bynum but everybody else you named was a product of Phil's coaching. Please keep going cause I don't see it.

Pau was a previous All-Star and Odom was an established talent in the league. Kobe aint developed shyt

anybody that watched the 2009 playoffs, knows that Kobe's passing and bball IQ helped Pau out alot. There's a reason Pau would get great looks from the perimeter and in the post..Kobe and Pau had excellent chemistry

I'll say this much about LA's supposed infatuation with Mudiay, if they like him enough to take him over Okafor then he must have serious star potential. Okafor is the surest thing in the draft subpar defense or otherwise. And he must be better than Russell by default in their eyes because LA hasn't been linked to him at all.

Say whatever about Jim Buss or whatever, LAL's scout game is fantastic. It wouldn't be Smart or Gordon over Randle type deal (aka a mistake) if it happened. Still think they go big though.

But if they're target him they need to trade down, get whatever little you can from NY and call it day. I wouldn't take him #2 unless Russell to Philly is fluff.
