Anthony Bennett vs Darko Milicic.

[eastside313]

Carlisle got SO MUCH heat for not playing Tayshaun until the Orlando series, and short leashing Memo their rookie years. Tay got immunity for basically saving the season and coming back from that 3-1. Perception is a lot of things.

Michael Curry had so much pull with the Pistons for whatever reason.

But if Larry brown didn't play rookies he coulda sent tay to the bench for Corliss Williamson. The whole Larry brown don't play rookies is poppy cock if you and look at his teams he coached. He played plenty of young players when he had some that could play.

If we bein real tho, George Karl didn't develop Melo at all so Larry couldn't have done much worse.

the issue he's gonna face now is that while the PF spot is likely gonna be open for him to seize, it wouldn't be smart to pick up his option regardless, so he has no security and no real place here moving forward. He's in a tough spot because his teammates like him and stuff but he seems to be an afterthought already by Flip (I thought Flip didn't do right by him most of the time but Bennett would do some shyt that made you think Flip was justified.

I really hope he's watching Draymond Green footage because there's no reason why he can't study that and become Green instead of LJ like a lot of people thought.

This will never happen. ..from what I seen he doesnt have Dray's motor. Which is a big part of his success. I actually thought him in Minny would be great.

But hey im the same idiot who thought a line up of Rubio/lavine/wiggins would work
At least on 2k it does

This lineup never really happened at all this season though.


And yes, Bennett's motor will be the death of his career. If Bjelica doesn't play for us, if KG can't help him, then he's a lost cause.

@tremonthustler1 mentioned the Olympics, you may have been too young bike then, but Larry Brown kept LeBron glued to the bench, and played Odom/Marbury/Jefferson/Marion over LeBron, Wade and Amare.

coach K played bron, wade, and melo every minute of the 2006 world championships and they got beat by greece.

I figured the line up didnt happen because flip saw it wouldn't work.

But maybe it can...we are talking bout Saunders & Flip gone flip

 

[#1 pick]

Darko, If they drafted Melo or wade, they would still be elite to this day or at least for longer than they were.

its one of the worst coaching jobs ever, and no one talks about it. In fact media members defend him.

man just look at this time with the bobcats

literally every player we drafted as an organization got WORSE after their first few years in the league

hell, felton in particular went from up and coming top 15 PG to functioning retard. Okafor's best season was literally his rookie year. Sean May, Morrison, AND Henderson all opted to leave the team entirely after getting injured. Only Henderson managed to recover from a serious injury on a LB roster. Then there was DJ Augustin - he got done so dirty by LB that Silas and MJ literally apologized to the man's family for the way he'd been treated.

Again, Okafor won RoTY - dude gave up on life after LB showed up. You know Carmelo would've shot himself listening to all that defense talk so miss me with that.

Knowing how Melo play he probably woulda been like and do whatever the fukk he wants.

Melo wouldn't have listened to that nikka AT ALL and be gone.

Larry Brown would've turned Carmelo Anthony into David West like he turned Okafor into Reggie Evans

 

[Ashyneezz]

That draft is why the foreign guys have gained more traction this year, nobody wants to miss on Gobert, Giannis, Schroeder type players again.

And my Mavs choose a 5'10" situational spark plug over all of them

 

[Malta]

And my Mavs choose a 5'10" pg over all of them

Just be glad, the Spurs were 1 pick away from Gobert and apparently they wanted him

 

[Pesci]

Larry Brown would've turned Carmelo Anthony into David West like he turned Okafor into Reggie Evans

I thought Okafor's problem was that he had some recurring back injury

 

[Hammer]

immediately after Bennett got drafted i made a thread calling him the biggest bust and worst 1st pick of all time
