I wouldn't either but I just don't think he is 3 pick good. I think he can be productive on the right team though
Zach LaVine
Jusuf Nurkic
Thon Maker
Jayson Tatum
I was higher on these guys than anybody else on here before their respective drafts. All 4 look like future all-stars already. I'd say my track record is SUBLIME.
Alot better than people who believed in scrubs like Markelle Fultz and Brandon Ingram.
Josh Jackson is utter and absolute TRASH. certified bust.
Don't ever utter his name in the same breathe as Lonzo.
Draft time/summer league really separates the guys who know basketball from those that don't.
If you think Josh Jackson and De'Aaron Fox are gonna be stars, you don't know ANYTHING about basketball. Conversely, if you think Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball will be anything but stars, you also don't know ANYTHING about basketball.
To me these 4 players are the litmus test for whether you know anything about basketball.

You gonna act like you don't see who I post then just hop on the wave after? You say you were first with Nurkic, lies, you literally just made a thread out of what I said about him. I got receipts too

You're the last dude I would listen to when it comes to basketball. Your opinions on players has been consistently proven to be basura. And this dude Markelle Fultz will be your final death blow. If you really were up on Nurkic before I watched his film, then I guess I should be glad I never saw that post cause I would probably have said he would be garbage literally off the strength of the fact you don't know shyt.
In a few months you gon pretend you were up on Jayson Tatum before I was the first guy on here to say he shoulda been the #1 pick and would be the best player in the draft.
I can literally post something about Giannis, Exum, Embiid, Nurkic where I posted it first, then a few days later you're on the same wave.
The shyt is comedy to me and you didn't think I noticed it

You really are feeling yourself a lil too much. Just because you make a post don't mean everyone has to read it. I never said anything about Giannis before that draft. Have never really said much about him other than I need to see more from him. Exum was a guy I started to rep after I heard he wanted to play for the Lakers and signed with Kobe's agent. Embiid was a guy I liked from the jump after seeing him in that Wiggins vs Parker game in Chicago. Gradually I started watching more and more Kansas games and he kept shining along with Wiggins. That is why they became my top 2 players that year in the draft.
And finally I only started fukkin wit Nurkic after the Lakers fell to the 7th pick and it looked like they weren't gonna get Wiggins, Embiid, and Exum who were my top 3 guys. I hated Randle and Smart (who most were projecting the Lakers would pick) so I started watching tape on guys who could be available at that spot that weren't one of those 2. That is when I stumbled upon Nurkic. My choice for the Lakers at 7 was Zach LaVine but I knew they would be too stupid. Nurkic seemed like a guy they would pick (similar to Bynum in 2005).
@Malta since you seem to think I just copy your style, then remind us when you said Ingram would be trash and that Thon Maker would be the better choice for the Lakers at #2 overall? or how about saying Zach LaVine had as high a ceiling as Andrew Wiggins before the 2014 draft? Or that the Lakers should draft LaVine at #7 over Randle, Smart, or anyone else who would be available at that spot? or how about when you said Jayson Tatum would be the best player in this draft class?
nikkas know my style. It goes beyond the NBA. They know I got my unique view on players and prospects. It why I'm not only the leading authority on the NBA draft on this site, I'm also the leading authority on the NFL draft.
I doubt anyone would say I'm going around copying other peoples opinions when it comes to the NFL draft. I'm just me.

Me first, posting about Nurkic and you clearly saw it
Then here you come.......
@tremonthustler1 and I were talking him up in the draft thread, saying he was like Pekovic, you then make a thread calling him "Boogie 2.0" and comparing him to Pek.... with the same exact video I posted....after I said he'd been compared to Boogie
I got more gems, but you seem to be taking this hard so I'll let you breathe a bit You're like my retarded shadow.

Superstar
That Chinese dude moves really well for his height. I remember watching K.P during summer league and saying the same thing. No I don't think he's the next K.P but he looks fluid and has some skill to him.
Justin Jackson...might as well get ready to see this dude. Gonna be in the league 10-15 years making the same plays he did tonight. The floater, the 3, a couple steals,etc

So you're saying I saw your post on Nurkic then 8 days later posted a thread about it myself?
I didn't know you had a patent on the name Jusuf Nurkic.Keeping this 100, I'm actually a pretty impulsive guy. I typically post shyt immediately after the idea pops in my mind. Remember that thread I made predicting LeBron getting traded this year. That was an idea I had that day and I posted about it. That's my style. You mentioning dude in a post 8 days before I made my post had zero to do with my take on Nurkic. If I'm being honest, I actually got up on Nurkic from this dude: Dean On Draft
The blog is actually largely worthless. Its run by some cac that is heavy into analytics when it comes to doing draft projections. I stumbled on his website 3 years ago cause I was looking for info on prospects ahead of the 2014 draft. Most of the players he was stanning turned out to be flops like Marcus Smart and Aaron Gordon. He actually had Marcus Smart rated as the #2 prospect in the 2014 draft (after Embiid) cause of analytics. He was a major Zach LaVine hater (had him rated as a 2nd round pick at best). He was hyping up Nurkic so I decided to check him out. Turned out the hype was warranted and thus I made the thread I made.
FYI the reason I compared him to Boogie is cause that's the easiest comp for him when you watch him play. He's a big ass dude who gets almost no vertical off the ground. You didn't even say your comp for him was Boogie. You just said most people compare him to Boogie which is very easy to see.
I know you wanna believe nikkas on here are staying on ya every post but you need to get over yourself. I don't know, remember, or care about 99.9% of the shyt you post.
