Mudiay playing in China instead of going to play in Europe against better competition makes me kinda shook. Is he ducking better competition?
If we're going PG, we should go for d'angelo. No homo but I can tell by a players appearance if they're gonna be a tar and no homo again, Russell will be a star.
To answer the bolded..the NCAA was taking too long to let him know if he qualified to play college ball so he took the money overseas.
Not sure if him and Russell matched up on the circuit though...
Captain Crunch
Veteran
Those passes, imagine him feeding Embiid and Nerlens those
His court vision and passing ability is his most intriguing skill to me
Yep
So skilled, those floaters and post fadeaways too. fukk athleticism, when his fundamentals are off the chart.
If he was white, it'd be hilarious to see how they'd describe him.
Russell plays the game the right way
He's sneaky athletic
A hard worker and locker room guy

then we're in complete agreement. the way you were talking it was almost as if you were saying he's a scrub. Okafor will be a great player in the league but he's not gonna carry a team to the title ala duncan. what he'll be is a 20/10 guy that with the proper roster can contend. the lakers because of their history and ability to attract stars should do that.
I also think his defense can be good enough that he won't need a serge ibaka next to him to be a winner. boogie's problem isn't lack of rim protection. its the fact he ain't got dudes on his roster. if he was on the clippers instead of deandre, they'd be hoisting up the o'brien trophy.

he's the most likely bust in the top 4. might be evan turner 2.0
i'm one of those cats who doesn't trust guys who don't dominate high school as much as thier peers.
my biggest concern with joel now besides the injury risk is his CHARACTER. i don't know if dude wants to be great. he comes off as another dwight howard. he seems to enjoy what the game brings him (fame, fortune, etc.) rather than just loving the game for what it is. the fact he became overweight. his goofy antics. etc. he just comes off as a dude that doesn't have that hunger that is neccesary to be great.
i think he's destined to be another big we remember as being a dissapointment.
I think Justin Anderson is a better fit for the Cavaliers than Rondae. @tremonthustler1
He won't need to try and create offense or be asked to dribble the ball often. All of his looks would come off the ball.
His shot is shaky but I think that can be fixed and his defensive potential is needed (I feel like he could eventually guard 4 positions in spurts). Especially with the Cavs because they switch on pick and rolls often.
His lack of production outside of scoring is a slight concern. But I'm more concerned about Rondae's shooting form. There is no quick fix for the way he shoots. And if you can't shoot as a wing or guard you're not getting on the court with LeBron James.
I know the Cavs scouts have been keeping tabs on Anderson the past 2 years.

I dont think he will be available at 24
Other than taking a chance on Upshaw, hes who Im hoping the Bulls select
I could also see him shooting up draft boards as we get closer to the draft
I don't think he will either. I think he should go in the 15-20 range because his skill set matches with just about anybody that has a ball dominant player as the main guy.
Delon Wright, Justin Anderson, or Robert Upshaw is who I'd want at #24.
I was responding to Tre because he had the Cavs taking RHJ when Anderson was still on the board in his mock.
Ill be pissed if we pass on Upshaw and ya'll get him
Bron could mold the fukk outta that boy .......
He Orlando Magic are in a very strange situation at this point in their rebuild I personally think they should take BPA without any regards to positional fits....
They have
C:Vuccimane/Oquinn
PF:Frye/Gordon
SF:Harris (I doubt he leaves)/Harkless
SG:Oladipo/Fournier
PG:Payton
They could use any of Mario/WCS/Winslow/Johnson/Kristops
So to me they have no need in trying to fit a player into a positional need...So if I were them my pick would be Justice Winslow.

I'm a big Winslow fan but the Magic need to draft one of the Euros to space the floor
If they draft Winslow that teams defensive potential is scary but in the half court offensively they will struggle a lot
It would also give them some ability to leverage with Mozgov's free agency in 2016.
Either way it goes they have the tools to fix 3 holes this summer (pause). They need a 3rd guard who can run an offense and defend quick PGs, an actual back-up for LeBron, and another big.
