I think that game against Kentucky is going to cost Ball big time. Fox is talking a ton of smack right now claiming he is the best player in this draft, HOF is what is on his mind in 15+ years etc.

Bill Simmons keeps mentioning that he feels like he knows Magic well and thinks that game hurt him as well.

The fukkery if the lakers don't draft Ball would be :banderas:

As a Celtics fan them future picks is worth a conversation, you need wing players to defeat Cavs and dubs

He's literally the perfect fit for what they want to build, so I can see why they'd want him.

A combo guard that can score and play off the ball is basically what they need.

Not if he's the scrub Eric Gordon-esque player I predict he will be.

Its never smart to pass on a future star like Jayson Tatum for a scrub like Markelle Fultz regardless of fit.

Are you auditioning for a sports gas bag job? Are you remotely serious with basketball takes :russ:

You say this shyt as if Randle's a proven player. Give it up. The writing was on the wall long ago.


16.5 PPG
10.7 RPG
4.5 APG

per 36 mins on 49% shooting.

Pretty good numbers. Plus now he's in better shape so he should have better endurance to actually play a full 35-36 minutes rather than being limited to only 28 minutes per game.

Julius Randle is proven. He can be a valuable player in this league. The only question is can he turn into an all-star caliber player. I believe he can. And it could be as early as the 2018-19 season.

Ya because it took so much thought to draft Simmons right? :camby:
Took a lot of thought to trade Jrue Holiday for Noel and the pick that became Elfrid Payton.

Took a lot of thought to trade Elfrid for Saric and their pick back :manny:

Took a lot of thought to trade MCW garbage ass for the Lakers 1st rounder :manny:

He wanted to draft Porzingis but ownership blocked him :manny:

Took a lot of thought to get the Kings pick :manny:
