I Was So Wrong On About " "During the Draft

[invincible1914]

damn dude

tim duncan was pretty much a lock to be an all star

I was young and didn't know no better. I was like this nikka boring...



I used to Stan No Limit back then too

And was the Gawd to me.


And if a female wasn't a 'dime' she didn't didn't matter.

...... I was an idiot.

When we drafted Paul George I was like

 

[RichYung]

Allan Ray.


I was a little ass kid though. I used to Stan the hell out of Villanova.

Player that turned out better than expected: Michael Carter-Williams. They played us in their season opener & he was not the same dude I saw at Cuse at all. For starters, he was hitting pull-up 3s

Player that turned out worse than expected: Michael Beasley, but I'm sure that's no surprise

most recently, marshawn brooks.
fab melo as well

He dropped 52 in a game at Providence & nikkas started comparing him to Kobe

Melvin elie

Adam Morrison

David Carr

For me it's Anthony Davis jesus christ this kid is good

how the fukk did u think Davis was gonna be bad?

you're a fukking moron.

 

[Hammer]

how did idiots think MCW was gonna be bad? he's a 6'6 point guard with unbelievable passing and rebounding...i def. compared him to rondo, but he's already a better scorer

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

Derrick Rose


Thought he was gonna be a bust cuz of his broke jumpshot, lack of point guard skills and shaky dribble but his ridiculous athleticism took him to the top

Spoiler

Now that his athleticism is gone maybe I wasn't wrong

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

Melvin elie

Adam Morrison

David Carr

Adam Morrison gets a pass. Dude had diabetes coming into the league and if you know anyone who has it you know that shyt kills your energy. Dude just couldn't keep up with everyone else and I don't blame him.

If I listed everyone this post would be soooooooooo long...but here's a few I think of off top

God Shamgod...I thought he was going to be the best ever...I stanned him so hard when him and Croshere carried Providence to the elite eight

T.J. Ford...I thought he was going to be one of the greatest point guards of all-time...that final four run with Texas had me sold

Dirk Nowitzki...I didn't know anything about him...but I was living in Dallas at the time and I made fun of Mavericks fans constantly for trading away Tractor Traylor for some scrub from Germany...

the NFL guys seem to surprise more because there's so many more variables...but I remember thinking Cadillac Williams was going to be the truth...but that never really happened...that same year I was also riding hard for J.J. Arrington...I liked that guy at Cal...again not what I expected.

- I thought Okafor was going to be a better player than Howard and was going to be a franchise center for a decade. But, he proceeded to find a way to decline ever since his rookie season.
- I thought Charlie V was going to be a 20+ scorer for years to come.
- Jerryd Bayless, at worst I thought he was going to be a poor-man's AI.
-Terrence Williams, thought he would be a solid player in the NBA.
-Tyreke Evans, thought he was going to be the best player in the 2009 draft.
-Bismack Biyombo, thought he was going to be a DPOTY type along with being a double-double type player.
-MarShoon Brooks, thought he was going to be a Joe Johnson level of scorer.

JJ Redikk - he's become a good player now but I remember watching his 40pt game for Duke and thinking he was gonna be the next elite shooter. Kind of like Reggie Miller .
