I bring goodies to my friends on thecoli, #1 pick's NBA Draft 2014 tracking list and top 10

[#1 pick]

As for Embiid, he is still the most impressive player each game for me for KU. His impact on offensively and defensively is the best on his team. He is causing teams havoc more than Wiggins and both are causing havoc on both ends of the court. His BBIQ for someone who has only played the game for two years is amazing. I would like him to be more aggressive but Wiggins, Ellis, Selden, and Black all have offensive presence over him.

Embiid isn't Hakeem but he is as close as it gets as a prospect and while Oden>>Embiid overall as freshman at this point, I would take Embiid over him. Embiid offensive potential is freakish as well has defensive. His offensive movement is fukking out of this world for a college prospect big. He literally sets good screens constantly and understands when to cut and when not to. Bill Self got him two special once in a generation prospects this year.

Unskilled players don't make plays like that. He masters that move & he's gonna be impossible to guard. Not to mention he can damn near guard every position in college right now.

Complete phenom..him & Jojo

I honestly didn't think the move was that nice but his ability to quick gather himself and elevate quickly was.

I thought it was a pro move. Quick jab..stepback J for the dagger in a clutch situation when he had been struggling with his J that game.

Both defensive and offensive advanced metrics point to Wiggins being the best freshmen out of the big 3.

Parker is not a point forward and he is an average defender.

Randle is all physicality.

He didn't move the defender to create space, he kinda just used his ability to get the shot. He could have did that without the dribble. The triple threat (quick jab) was more effective. MJ was king of creating space with the triple threat while T-Mac was king of creating space with one dribble to create space.

Randle got a shytload of skill breh. More than most. The last PF I seen that skilled offensively was Derrick Coleman.

I'm not seeing it leading to production. Tim Thomas had the full kit too and dude never produced outside of a year here or there, contract years, etc...

Tim Thomas breh? Come on man, that's not even half way accurate. Tim Thomas would be more like Terrance Jones type of prospect on top of that, Thomas was never that committed. Randle is a legit player. He will be elite on Kevin Love level in five years.

lol Tim Thomas was an elite prospect as far as skill-set, no question. LOL You are going to look ridiculous in five years. Randle ain't a franchise guy.

Tim Thomas was never an elite prospect. Ever. No question.

You're an idiot.

You say I am an idiot because I don't not even come close to agreeing with you on something they I find to be illogical at best. Do you breh. I prefer you do it more respectfully.

He was.

Him and T-Mac were very similar in terms of where they stood as prospects. One worked on his game and became a borderline hall of famer. The other got complacent and worked on his skills

Like I did with Poiter, I respectfully disagree with the comparison as well with Tim Thomas ever having elite talent.
