Jabari Parker is a strange muhfukka. Can't remember seeing a player that seems to get more explosive every season. Weird as shyt especially after a knee injury.

I agree, but its a testament to his work ethic more than anything that he can get up like that. At Duke he was an athlete but not like THIS. He also played a perimeter oriented game at Duke but he hasn't played that way at all in Milwaukee

I don't think the Rockets will be good enough but I can see Harden averaging 27/6/12 easily.

He ain't averaging 12 assists. He's been the defacto point guard since Lin left(even then he was the primary ball handler) and hasn't come close to approaching that. Rockets would need a retarded pace for him to reach that.

Then again that's what Pringles is known for.


Also can you guys give me some advice regarding fantasy? In a 14 category league(Points/FGM/FG%/FTM/FT%/3PM/3%/orebs/drebs/total rebs/assists/steals/blocls/turnovers) who would you choose between Towns and Anthony Davis? I got the 5th overall pick so they might not be there, but based on their current rankings and the players above them I figure they will be.

I would take Towns
Davis is more injury prone and sometimes frustratingly underperforms (rarely)
He can put up monstrous lines, but KAT gives you strengths in similar areas and more consistent production imo
I'm really liking him this year, I'm leaning towards him

I think Davis is better overall and has a higher ceiling than Towns(for this year at least and assuming he stays healthy), but Towns providing 3 pointers in this league would be huge. There's 14 teams too so players thin out and everyone his all around production is nice.

Drafted in the same spot last year and got Durant(was coming off injury and people didnt trust him similar to Davis and it worked out huge for me), so hopefully I have the same type of luck.

A mix between Kobe and tmac
:comeon:

More athletic Jamal Crawford
:comeon:

Hes alot more gerald green than kobe and t mac, jamal Crawford and russell Westbrook

Dude doesn't play anything like Kobe. He's clutch and can hit crazy shots but his game is more crawford with hops than kobe. Even his post all star break play he wasn't putting up better numbers than Wiggins with a lesser usage.
