How is he a beast when he just got shut down by a Euro cac who is 50 pounds lighter than him? :stopitslime: Explain that one

He was tired from carry the majority of the scoring. Even when dudes we're making 3's it was because the knicks defense had collapsed to stop Okafor or deny him the ball.

:ehh:

Also the knicks we're double and triple teaming him in the second half and OT to stop his scoring. :yeshrug:

If he learns to shoot FT or just a reliable shot from 8 feet out:whew:

I'm :deadmanny: at the excuses for okafor

But thanks for making my point for me as to why the Lakers drafted Russell. Okafor has much further to go to realize his potential than Russell does.

And when or if they both realize that potential, Okafor could be the more valuable player but the lakers obviously thought that okafor wouldn't improve upon all the things he would need to in order to be that player. I think they might be right about that :yeshrug:

Guys like booker wouldn't shine in a summer league game, it's like expecting a 3D to wow you. I wish thru get rid of summer league it's useless

Ok, Porzingiz making me a believer....

Well, no.... because Booker isn't a 3 and D guy, he's supposed to be shooter... he should be able to get off with all this trash defense.


But he's not going to shine out, regardless. Because he's not a star like that.

cac from europe i've never seen play. i take wait and see approaches with them. booker i can see being a bradley beal type player.

Worse handles and athlete than beal, and half a foot difference in vertical. It would be surprising if they ended up being similar players. Especially when Beal has proven to be a distributor at the NBA level, and Booker averaged one assist a game, with 5 or 6 nba guys on his roster.

So you spoke on a player you never watched :russ:

He has even less of a handle than Beal and isn't as athletic as McLemore, yet you think he has star potential and Hezonja didn't :dead:



"Never seen him, so I downgraded him." :deadmanny:


The Vanilla Thrilla :ohhh:

Kristaps is shutting Jah down

Knicks may come out of this draft lookin good

That length and verticality:takedat:.

Kristaps length :wow:

:lawd:

Kris Stops :wow:

:krs:

Cot damn, the height difference between Porzingis and Okafor :wtf:

Was crazy to see them.

Kristaps had 7 fouls brehs...he was hackin out there only reason he was stopping Oak. :shaq2:

Well, if he could hit 40% of his FT's maybe they'd stop fouling so much. :steviej:
