This late, steal of the draft

IF he can get it together, he will be a stud for OKC.

How is he going to get minutes?

Usually late 1st rounders arent expected to be starters. He will be a great sub for Durant or Ibaka.

They can also slide KD to the 4 and let him play the 3 a bit.

What did he say?

I don't see him getting minutes over Collison, maybe some backup minutes at the 3 when Durant sits briefly.

Well they drafted him at 28 so they aren't paying him starter minutes. He will have a chance to prove himself and get minutes.

Eh.

Festus going to the Gun Shot Wounds.

I like Festus. I don't know if he fits in GS, but I like him.

GS has a nice lineup shaping up.

Bogut
David Lee
Barnes
Klay Thompson
Curry

Also, I would love for Draymond Green to slide another 29 picks. Just sayin'

David stern is such a cocky dick. Also, bulging dicks.

And one hell of a basketball coach in Mark Jackson.

Damn!

Going to GSW lol

Question. They said Waiters didnt start a game in his collegiate tenure. Was he a Harden/Ginobili type that came off the bench to give Syracuse a boost? What makes you think he will be a stud at this level?

He was only there a year. They weren't going to start him over 2 guys that were starters for 2-3 years. He was there leasing scorer I believe and best player

2 years and not leading scorer.

I copied and pasted from the other thread....


I watched every game he played. Explosive player who can get to the bucket and finish. Not the best outside shooter but certainly solid and consistent enough. You can look at him and see that he has a solid frame and can and does absorb contact and still finishes. Some have made a big deal out of him not starting but Syracuse used him as "instant offense" off the bench due to their depth and just the dynamic of the team. Pretty good defender too. Very athletic. As others have said, I think some of you will be surprised. Pleasantly.

I'd say he's most effective with the ball however he played with a lot of energy on defense and didn't pout when Kris Joseph, Scoop Jardine, Brandon Triche or others had big scoring games for the Orange. Wasn't a head case last year. Stepped up and took over when it was time but played his role when it was others' turn.

Syracuse was in transition a lot and in the half court it was a lot of 1-on-1 so I don't know about playing in the flow of the offense. He didn't have an outrageous ego though so I think there's good balance there mentally. Aggressive/assertive but not a me-first ball hog.

Agree that he was their best player last year.

Who? Fucking Knicks.

Kris Joseph to Boston. First Fab and now KrisJo. C's stocking up on some SU players. I don't hate Boston so I hope they have some success there.

I guess i'm a Celtics fan now.
