Official 2015 NBA Summer League Thread

Harden weighed 30 pounds more than Russell coming into their respective combines. Harden is 230, doubt Russell gets past 210. Manu with less leaping ability is the correct comparison. Mudiay will be better.

Its not about belief. Its fact.

Marcus Smart is LEAGUES better than Clarkston as an on-ball defender and he is a much better floor general.

one guy earned 1st team all-rookie last year starting just 32 games. the other guy had his squad trade for a PG mid-season and then turn around and draft another PG in the 1st round.

you smart stans should be worried about terry rozier taking his starting spot. not clarkson

I'm not Smart fan.

I call bums out when I see them.

 

[Kang Deezy]

how bout who has the higher win% against eastern conference teams

I accept.

 

[Swagnificent]

Also how much of a dumbass is Coach Cal for letting the twins run that Offense? With some of the stuff Towns showed last night, my bruh could have probably averaged 25 & 10 with 5 dimes if they ran thru him

Jordan never averaged over 19.9 ppg in 3 years of college. the nba is just different. greater spacing allows you to play thru bigs more than in college with its congested lanes, zone defense, and lack of good shooters to space the floor.

 

[Starski]

Balance, body control, strength, agility are all parts of athleticism, you idiot.




Wow, you really are the WOAT poster

Dont bother arguing with him he dont even believe the sh!t he says....

 

[Swagnificent]

And Clarkston is a transition player with a streaky jumper who has no value outside of getting up and down the floor

Smart is at least a solid starter. Clarkston is a bench player on a good team.

and yet it was Clarkson that got nominated yesterday (along with Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, and Elfrid Payton) for rookie of the year by the nba players (for the players award). no mention of smart. just like he was nowhere on the 1st team all-rookie list.

no one but you clowns in boston think smart is better than clarkson. their peers in the nba have spoken. and the media has spoken. Clarkson >>>>>>>> smart.

 

[knickscrusaderm]

Kristaps got next...

New knickas got next

I actually watch basketball. Don't quote me til you understand the game you are attempting to discuss.

 

[Swagnificent]

There's nothing wrong with preferring Clarkson but lol @ Smart being trash. His defense alone makes him valuable.

yea but he's horrible offensively with no hope of getting any better. clarkson can be a solid defender and great offensive player. i see him as being a bigger monte ellis with more athleticism. or a poor man's russell westbrook.

 

[Swagnificent]

I accept.

I'll take it as long as we don't get hit with devasting injuries once again.

knowing our training staff, half our guys will probably go down again.

 

[Full Measures]

I mean we def should and can wait,but I don't see how people just absolutely think Mudiay is trash and think Russell the second coming of Magic or something

Mudiay has all the tools you need to be successful in today's game of super athletic guards,while Russell doesn't

nikka he can't shoot fish in a barrel

What the fukk you talking about all the tools to be successful? What is that nikka gone do when every team he plays goes under the screen?

You think teams would dare go under a Dangelo Russell screen? Huh?

 

[SchoolboyC]

So Clarkson will be a bigger & more athletic Monta Ellis, Russell will be Steph Curry, Randle will be a Barkley/Randolph hybrid, Upshaw is gonna be the biggest undrafted steal since Ben Wallace and on top of that y'all are getting Durant & Westbrook in a few years

Must be nice

 

[DetroitEWarren]

how bout you worry about a couple of undrafted rookies shyttin on ya boy karl-anthony towns. tarik black yammed on him in the first quarter. then upshaw the gawd sent his shyt back and then hit him with that dream shake.

Towns dominated that game and showed that he has no possible ability to bust minus injuries. nikka showed me some stardom with just how he used his IQ, then he showed GREAT passing ability, nice hook shot, nice mid range shot, over the shoulder close J's, pick and pop, ect. He looked like a 20/10/5 career type of nikka b. Honestly, EVEYBODY on the floor last night showed me they will all have above average careers (Towns, Russel, Levine, Clarkston, Randle) you could see grown man game out of every single one of them

His close mid range J was money though (8-12 feet) , he hit 3 or 4 of them off the dribble and moving in both directions. Mudiay might be the 1 nikka that lives up to the Wade like rookie body/game comparison. Everybody else has failed who had those comparisons at some point
