Thoughts on Mudiay?

Think he's going to be good, not sure why the Knicks are so down about having the 4th if he's going to be there. If he ends up being a more explosive Jrue Holiday that's a pretty good player, everyone saying he doesn't have a jumper is a bit exaggerated, he's not Rondo/Rubio bad with the jumper and he could work to make it better.

He has the handle and quickness to get by people.

Everyone says he struggled out there...18ppg on 16 shots :francis:

This the same league that JR dropped 60 points off the bench

Also look up the stats andray blatche and Beasley were putting up. I think Beasley put up 50 in the allstar game.

Mudiay played like 8 games in China after Highschool so he's not really experienced. He can't really shoot. He's not great at playmaking or taking care of the ball.

Lakers have Clarkson.

I don't see them taking Mudiay unless they're tryimg to develop him over 3 years.

BUT if it keeps knicks from taking him then:blessed:

Okafor has the most red flags out of the Top 4
Click to expand...

he also has the greatest strength. he'll come into the nba and be a dominant low post scorer that will command double teams FROM DAY 1 .

17ppg on 66% shooting in college with its congested lanes and lack of spacing shows how gifted he is as a post scorer. after reviewing some more video on Okafor, I think the Lakers would be foolish to not take him 2nd if Towns is gone at #1. people that try and compare him to al jefferson are as lazy as those that compared randle to z-bo last year. Jahlil is much quicker and more agile than big al ever was. plus he handles the ball better and has better vision when it comes to passing out of double teams.

Okafor may never be a dominant 2 way player. But neither was Shaq. Okafor will be a 20+ppg scorer for 10 years though. and i'll take that with the 2nd pick everytime.

i think curry is boosting russell's stock, but i don't think he has the ability to create his own shot at the nba level, even though his release is quick as hell. He fits with the sixers since they're trying to add space on the floor

you got more to work with if u get mudiay, his athleticism and size is superb pause.. i don't think his shooting's too awful, and i think sixer fans were so disgusted with MCW that they want to stay away from him at all costs

Mudiay's vision is on par with Russell and he actually runs an offense unlike Russell.

I watched some of his highlights

Dude reminds me of Eric Snow
He's a nice defensive point guard with a lil more athleticism.

I want NO parts of that ugly ass jumpshot

It's gonna be the same shyt we had with Mutumbo in the paint and the ball gets kicked out to him and he can't do shyt but drive and kick . That shyt will end up in a 3sec rule, a turnover , or a horrible miss from outside.

Plus he's playing against Chinese dudes... Last boy I know that dominated in China was 105yr old Stephon Marbury.
Mudiay is not going to have that same quickness in the NBA

Now Russell...I saw him stop and pop from 3 ..pure butter

Give me D'angelo all day everyday !
