stop this nonsense and start putting realistic options on the table. Ya'll dont like anybody on the team and never have any real suggestions for upgrade.

It's not that serious breh. It's not like the Heat will sign any of the realistic options I post

Juwan Howard Jr. to play for Heat in Summer League

Former Detroit Mercy forward Juwan Howard Jr. has signed with the Miami Heat to play in the NBA Summer League at Orlando.

"This is such a great opportunity for Juwan," Titans coach Ray McCallum said in a statement on UDM's website. "He put in a lot of hard work here at Detroit, and I am happy that he will get a chance to compete at a higher level."

Howard finished his three-year UDM career with 1,404 points, which ranks 18th all-time among the Titans. He averaged 14.6 points and 4.2 rebounds. He was not picked in last week's NBA draft, making him a free agent.

His father, Juwan Howard, is an assistant coach with the Heat.

The Orlando Magic will host the summer league July 4-10 at its practice court at the Amway Center. Besides the Magic and the Heat, the 25-game event will include the Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder.

shyt might not be bad. Just like spicy jelly.

But i love the last part. Exactly what we need. :blessed:

He definitely said the right things. He felt that he was the best player in the draft. And the nine teams that passed up on him is just extra motivation.

He also said that he felt he was the best player on the Duke team, not as a slight to Okafor, but he says you have to habe that confidence in yourself to be great. He said Okafor would say that he was the best player on the Duke team if you asked him.

Dan joked that Justice thinks he is the best player on the Heat team :troll:

We will find out in summer league

I love that attitude. But he can back it up on the court. Honestly i think he was the best player on the Duke team. He the one locking down the best player & hit big shots for them.

I really think we got our next franchise player on our hands. We really got lucky. Probably pay back for those times the bytch ass Cavs got all those fukking first overall picks. :mjpls:

Justise ain't better than Okafor, Breh. No GM on the entire planet would take Justise over Okafor if given the 2nd pick in the draft, not even the Heat.

Okafor the most skilled offensive players in the class and has a bunch of amazing attributed you simply can't teach like his huge hands, instincts in the post, his touch around the rim, etc.

Okafor is good enough to run an offense through. Justise isn't.

Justise has a lot of potential though. His biggest weakness is his ability to create off the bounce because it limits his PnR ability but if he can get that...it'll open up his game so much.

Offensively yes Okafor is better. Winslow was still the best player on that Duke team. Unless we just going to forget about the other side of the court. Also Winslow would do the dirty work when his offense wasnt there. I take all that into account when saying he is the better player.

:francis:

Was Deng better than Wade last year? He was better defensively so he was the better player too? Is Iggy or Draymond better than Curry? What about Tristan Thompson? Is he better than Kyrie or Love?

Hell no. Same thing. College teams were geared around stopping Okafor and it let Justice dominate on dudes, especially because he was injured so he was kinda slept on.

Okafor is better than Justice. A lot of what Justise was able to do was a result of having a dominant big man like Okafor to distract and draw attention as a premier offensive anchor.

Being a good two way player doesn't completely overwhelm a huge advantage in something like scoring. You don't take Ron Artest over Harden because as your best player because Artest is better on defense than Harden.

Fair enough you right about all that.

But i still say Winslow was the best player on that Duke team, jmo. I would take Kiwi over Harden. That is who Justise can develop into.
