Cleveland botched it with Tristan Thompson???? He is averaging a double double as a 21 year old power forward. Who should they have taken instead at #4 ? Jan Vesely? Brandon Knight? Bismack Biyombo? Jimmer Fredette?

Thompson is arguably the second best player in that entire draft. He was a good pick in a horrible draft.

Kenny Faried should've been number 2

I thought Tex Avery was the Celtics best perimeter defender? Uncle Drew took a doodoo on him.

Avery Bradley was guarding Kyrie.

I thought Bradley was their best guard defender, though.

Avery Bradley ‏@Avery_Bradley

Nobody will score 40 on my unless they take 40 shots


Avery_Bradley: Please stop sayin he gave me 40. Nobody will ever score 40 on me unless they take 40 shots


Avery Bradley ‏@Avery_Bradley

No shots at anybody. Its confidence

in fairness, breh is only 10 games back from that ACL injury.

But yeah, Bradley got that work

When u think about it, it should be easy for someone with Blake Griffin's skills to score 3 buckets a qtr. For him to average under 20 is sad.

league pass free trial 21st - 27th

My goodness, these Clippers commentators are so fukking annoying and unbearable to listen to.

that's using the benefit of hindsight.

ACL? He had shoulder surgery.

ur right. I mixed him up with MC Shump.

No question. But it's also not far-fetched to say teams were dead wrong in not wanting to risk a pick on a player from Morehead State...even though said player was the greatest rebounder (statistically) of the modern era.

You trying to say it wasn't plain to see that Faried wasn't clearly better than some of the players picked ahead of him?

I was his biggest supporter on here. I think he had legit concerns like everyone else, but I also felt teams looked for reasons to not take Faried.

Then he became a Nugget and now I hope he fails miserably.
