LOL Jesus how do you remember that shit?

He's not horrible by the way. Certainly not what I (apparently) thought he'd be but not a complete bust.

I remember that as well, actually.

But only because I said Oladipo was the safest to not 100% suck out of that draft lol.

All of these guys have actually been solid this year...

Maybe Noel being on the worst team in recent memory helps, but it could also hurt. He's never going to be a star player. He's never going to be a top 3 offensive option. However, it makes you wonder if he found himself on a semi-contender, could he eventually be a guy who plays a critical role without needing to be great offensively? He can do more than most guys his size if it doesn't involve him needing go to moves offensively.

He should aspire to be like Davis (41 and 14) or Cousins (31 and 18) though :)

Come on guys, if Noel becomes Shaq, do you still think he's a bust for the 6th pick?

If Anthony Bennett becomes Karl Malone, he's a bust because he's not Tim Duncan.

Redick with 13 with 2:40 left in the 1st but more surprising is Gorgui Dieng has 5 pts 5 assists??? and 2 rebounds in the same time.

GAME OF THE NIGHT:

Philadelphia at Minnesota. Will the Sixers tie the worst ever start in NBA history? To do so, they'll have to lose on the road against one of the few teams in the league that is only marginally better record-wise in the 4-win Wolves.

Philadelphia is bad, but not lose to a team who only scored 77 bad. I like Adam Silver, but hate that he buries his head in the sand when it comes to tanking. When was the last time Philly wasn't tanking? The media was butthurt when Cleveland lucked into the first pick, but is okay with Philadelphia intentionally sucking for how long now.

Random but has anyone noticed how many illegal screens that Tim Duncan sets? Nearly as bad as KG in his heyday.

They made the playoffs 3 years ago, and finished 9th in the east two years ago.

So about 1 year?

Tim Duncan, has never, in his life committed a foul, nor has he ever made a basket without being fouled.
