Because your opinion of a weak draft is unsubstantiated by anything other than media heads trying to sell magazines. You can't think for yourself, and you honestly probably don't deserve a job with a salary.

Not to mention a National Champion.

NO ONE was beating the Dookies with him at 100% and it KILLS me to say that.

Do you think a draft can be called weak before any player has stepped on the floor?

Yes.

But that is not what you just claimed I said.

How can you do this? Forget everything else. How can you judge a draft is weak before any player has stepped onto the floor?

I'm awaiting your response.

I agree that it isn't fair, but where would the fun be if we waited 3 yrs to judge them. Hell, in 3 years kahn may be considered a genius because of the mismatches his 5 pg lineups cause against everyone.

It's called an opinion. Just like you stating 5 other guys as "better" centers than Bogut.


You're a college grad, you should know that an opinion can not be right or wrong.

I don't know about "at least" 5, but probably at least 3
and that anyone calling the draft weak is weak minded and can't think for themselves.
No one is implying they are 100% sure of what the results will be. Just giving their projections of what they believe will happen, which is what occurs every year, for every draft, in every sport. It just so happens, there's a pretty wide consensus on people predicting this will be a weak draft.

You can always bookmark the thread and bump it in 5 years, when it will be a more enjoyable experience for you to discuss.

Well finally at least one person admits that you can't judge a draft until years after. Heck, Irving and Thompson could be all stars in the next 5 years, and the haters will still hate.

Only predicting it to be a weak draft to sell magazines, and the weak minded eat it all up. Irving and Williams are going to be all stars, and I think at least 5-6 of the top 14 will be all stars at one point in their career as well. This is a great draft, and you can bookmark this thread so I can prove you all need to stop having an opinion on basketball because you don't know what you are talking about.

As a graduate of the best business school in the country, I'm sure you realize predicting the draft to be weak is a poor way to sell magazines.

Only an idiot actually believes this. Weak drafts propagated by the media are a great way to sell a story.

Anyway let's get back to this extremely deep draft with loads of future NBA talent.

I hope the Cavs grab JaJuan Johnson. I mean when a guy like JaJuan Johnson isn't even going to go in the 1st round, you know this draft is insanely deep. Probably the best draft since 2003.

Also, where is Gilbert? We need to make some moves immediately.

Amen. Buy a first rounder. Pair it with Thompson and see what you can get. Heck maybe throw in Varejao for good measure
