to Hassan... I'm loving what I see from him...

Question to @Malta, what do you think about Jahlil Okafor? And who would you compare him to now and potential wise

 

[Bledswole]

@Malta Whats your opinions now on Whiteside, do you think he is legit or is he just going on a helluva run right now?

I've thought he was legit for a while now.


Big guys don't really go on runs, they just do what they do, if he was a wing I'd be more cautious with it, but there's just not much you can do to stop him from excelling in the areas he's good at. If he were a guard or something you could watch game film and take away things, that's not the case with a center like him.

I mean Drummond has gotten by on being bigger and stronger than nearly everyone for 3 years now, fluke like runs rarely happen with bigs.

So whats his upside? He's older,but he's obviously improved from his last couple of stints in the league by a mile,and where would you rank him for Centers right now?

No idea what his upside is, he may be older but centers used to hit the NBA at like 24 years old, so who knows what he could become. What he's doing right now is pretty much unprecedented in NBA history, big guys capable of the games he's having never slip through the cracks but he's legit so it's kind of hard to see what becomes of this. His floor right now is DeAndre Jordan, but you could argue that he's better than him already

Yea,I didnt wanna jump the gun thats why im asking you,but i felt the same way far as him being better than Jordan(DeAndre) already,I think he could be top 3 C's in the league if this is what he's capable night in night out tho

He's got the combination of size, athleticism and a surprising skill set that could make him one of the best centers moving forward as long as he stays hungry.

Jordan has zero feel for the game on offense, I'd take Hassan over him right now.

 

[Wacky D]

been following whiteside since marshall after jayson williams(duke) put me down wit em.

 

[Wacky D]

been a fan since jay williams put me on, back when he was at marshall.

my man came back out of nowhere.

right now I feel like his ceiling is Andrew Bynum.

both in a good way and a bad way.
hopefully he is not as dumb as I beginning to fear he is.

What a come up

 

[Green Ranger]

And you know Riley wont let go of a Big man once he gets one :riles:

 

[intruder]

What a come up

We didnt come up yet brehs. All we did was retain one of the pieces that made us relevant last year. Now we need

• Wade do work with us to put us at the same place we were last year
• Durant to sign for 4 years with us to really up the roster
• Dump McBob onto the Wolves or whoever will take him

 

[intruder]

Riley shoudl point that to WhiteSide too. Be like "See we made Ike [Austin], then he left us and wasnt sh!t for the rest of his career. You stick with us we'll make you a star surrounded by snowbunnies and chicas and beautiful black women on SOuth Beach. These hoes may not be loyal but Miami Heat is" .
