I never liked dudes game...but I couldn't decide if I really didn't like it or if I was blinded by my dislike of kU

but he reminded me a lot of Beasley in college...he used to get a lot of points by bullying smaller dudes out of the way in college and that doesn't work in the NBA

When dudes you hype up don't produce, you start blaming systems and coaches.

If a system can shatter a player that easily, f*ck you doing hyping him in the first place? :beli:

You know who you are *see first page*

Not going to put too much into this because Keith Smart's rotations are NBA 2K status, and he plays entirely too many guys who all play the same position.

It's frustrating to watch.

Also, this is the same organization who let JJ Hickson walk who's now averaging a double and who should really be considered for most improved player this year.

the real tragedy is what keith smart's done to marcus thornton... he's by far their best scorer and he barely gets mins. the only knock on him is his defense, but when you are playin a midget 35 mins at point u aint gonna be good defensively anyway. if they had drafted drummond to shore up that defense, they couldve started thornton and had a much better two-way squad. thornton could put up 18-20 ppg on any other squad

Dude is in about as bad a situation he can be in terms of not being suited to a particular team, combined with his own mediocre play when he's been given these slim opportunities. I think Jimmer will end up on a different team too.

Pre-draft :Playahata:

Why hasn't anyone mentioned anything about this dude being straight garbage so far? There's literally nothing this dude does well, and last I checked on him the Kings were thinking about playing him at the 3 because he can't finish around the rim. This dude was supposed to be the most NBA ready prospect in the draft, yet he's having the same trouble Derrick Williams and Michael Beasley had before him, which is he's not big enough to play the 4, and not fast enough for the 3.

4.5ppg, 4.3rpg 42% FG in 15mpg for the most NBA ready player in the draft, word? Sullinger is better.


You could just look at him and see he wasn't a good frontcourt fit with Boogie, especially since I think Boogie should really be playing the 4 where he'd be a matchup problem. They have Robinson listed at 6"10, but he's really only 6"8 and change in shoes, he's smaller than some of the SFs in the league, and unlike the other undersized PFs (Millsap/Faried) that are successful he doesn't seem to be overally physical. When are these GMs gonna learn that if a undersized 4 doesn't lead the nation in rebounding, you leave that nikka the hell alone.

The Kings have such a shytty organization, they needed a PG and left Lillard on the board, they needed a C and left Drummond on the board, they needed a SF and left Barnes on the board. I'm not sayin Jason Thompson is great, but they had so many other needs that taking a PF was stupid as hell especially since Robinson wasn't BPA as far as I'm concerned. Maybe he'll turn it around in the future, right now this dude looks like he'll be spending his time this summer working on his 3 point shot and handle :ughh:

nevermind i looked it up, he did lead the nation in rebounding :laugh:


so much for that bullshyt :manny:


EDIT: and he played with jeff withey too :yeshrug:

It seems like Smart closes his eyes and goes any-mini-mighty-moe before he picks who's going to sub in the game.

He literally has played like 6 pgs and sgs in games this year. shyt will have me like :what:

What reason is there for you to play, Thomas, Brooks, Jimmer, Thornton, Tyreke, and Salmons all in the same fukking game?

:mindblown:

He must not want to make any of them mad at him because he literally tries to get all these dudes in every game it seems.
