NBA Draft -- June 23rd

  • Laley23
    Who are your guys sleepers? I think Kenneth Faried will average double digit boards, and Chris Singleton has NBA All Defense written all over him with a chance to develop a good offensive game.

    ..and as I post that I see Singleton is like 6th best available. So I guess maybe not a "sleeper" but I bet he ends up being a top 5 player from this draft.

    Singleton has been under the radar his whole career IMO. Dude was a lock down defender at FSU.

    Agreed whole heartily. Biggest loss IU had when Sampson was fired was this guy canceling his visit to Bloomington for a visit. Wasnt a lock, but it was looking good.

    I've wanted Singleton all year. I think hes going to be a very solid NBA player

    Me too. I think he could be better than Knight. But he is small, which will be tough to get a jumper off. But he is a stud. Its more I think so high of singleton than less of others.

    LOL...as the video highlights show this guy throwing the ball down hard.
  • wildcats20
    lol MJ screws up. Surprise I know.

    How do you NOT take Brandon Knight? Or even Kemba?

    Yeah he is a little short...but he has that quickness and the step back jumper down to a science. I think he'll be just fine, but people put WAY too much stock into height

    Which means NOTHING.

    He is 6'9'' and has a 7'7'' wing span.
  • Hb31187
    Yeah, I think by no offense at all they mean... He doesnt score unless its a dunk, period haha
  • wildcats20
    Kemba = A better Rip Hamilton...IMO.

    I agree. Just look at Eric Gordon as a 2 guard putting up 25 a game. He is no more than 6-3. Ive stood next to him, and he is a fucking tank, but he is NOT 6-4 like he is listed.

    I only think the height matters when you are driving in traffic. But he has the innate ability and feel for others so it may not matter. But shorter PGs have a tendency to get "lost" in the lane.
  • wildcats20
    Looks like Knight is PISSED lol
  • Laley23
    Well, I think Detroit got the first steal of the draft.

    Im keen to agree. But they are different players. Knight does have better defense.

    Idk i think theyre about the same. Theyre both more combo guards than a true PG. Kemba has better offense, Brandon has better D

    There we goo

    Kemba and Gerald Henderson will provide some good scoring out of the Bobcats backcourt. Yes I said it. I thought Henderson was trash but he stepped up after the Wallace trade. Went to a few games and he looked pretty good.
