Minny you're welcome, you're that much closer to getting Shabazz.

fukk that shyt. I don't like the L in any way. I'm not down for tanking this year. I'm sick of it. I don't care if we somehow win with 1% odds like Chicago. I'm not happy when they lose. There's nothing to gain by it except more frustration and upheaval. A loss is a loss. There's nothing good anymore that comes of these games. They need to break the cycle.

:upsetfavre: Dude seems too selfish and out of shape looking for me breh fukk em

I'd take Shabazz over everyone at the moment. They need guys that will not tolerate the losing. Ricky can't do it alone. Call him selfish, but he'll come in much improved defensively, his offense hasn't gone anywhere, and he'll demand that rock.

It's no point in discussing it since we won't be high enough to take him. I go into the draft assuming we'll be 9th or 10th and I only really like maybe 10-11 players in this draft entirely.

Worst case scenario should be stashing away Dario Saric and saving him for 2-3 years down the road.

Back to draftexpress.com I go :manny: :to:


Aye @tremonthustler1 Im REALLY high on Smart from Oklahoma State breh I think he is D-Wade

What do you think man?

I like Smart, but this is college prospect rule of thumb:

When you get compared to Dwyane Wade, he may not wind up any better than Rodney Stuckey.

When you get compared to Dirk Nowitzki, expect Andrea Bargnani.

When you get compared to Chauncey Billups, you are on the fast track towards ending up like Randy Foye.

When you get compared to Ray Allen, your jump shot at the pro level will need more work.

When you get compared to an old school player that for guards isn't Jordan, for forwards isn't Bird and for centers isn't David Robinson or Bill Russell, you might have a chance.

I can write a whole manifesto on this shyt :laugh: I'll probably bring this up again when conference tourneys start.

I do like Smart. He's on my short list.

Smarts not that athletic and cant shoot i dont see the Wade comparison other then Wades jumper being suspect coming out of college

His one plus is his strength and size at the pg position and hes pretty smart and crafty

If he plays the 2 hes not much of a nba prospect at all

Mostly towards Oladipo, but I've heard them for Smart. I've heard James Harden comparisons in that he's not the most athletic guy, but he gets shyt done and advanced statistics fap over what Smart can do.

I agree with [MENTION=1588]FreedS[ohh]lave[/MENTION] that he's better off at PG, but I don't think he's screwed at SG. He just might not be as good
