Yes S&L, I think everyone understands it's not a straight direct player for player deal, it was just a comparison. NN was being talked about as the #1 overall pick, as was Wiggns hence the comparison. There isn't a better comparison player on the wolves. Nor do the Wolves have the #3 pick, hence the #1 pick talk. Smart is pretty comparable to Waiters, both suck ass but we didn't know/believe how much Waiters sucked ass after his rookie campaign.SportsAndLady;1736801 wrote:Horrible.
But Noel and wiggins are not comparable. And neither is #1 overall and #3 overall.
Thanks for ishleping up the NBA Thread with your nit picking nonsense.

That draft 2 years ago was also trash. Not a single player in the top 6 of that draft would've been top 4 last year or this year...

The show is now just his show, and called the Russillo show. I was able to listen to him the last two days. He had Danny Kannell (spelling?) cohosting with him. So far the show hasn't really missed a beat. I think Russillo was the better host than SVP, and I honestly enjoyed the show more when SVP was out of town and Russillo was doing the show with a fill in.lhslep134;1736915 wrote:Apparently their last show was Friday.

Obviously Jackson has been very successful as a player/coach but the jealousy is always overbearing when someone within a currently lousy organization criticizes the successful ones.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1736800 wrote:In other news, Phil Jackson said that he did a great job with the Knicks this year, and also said he doesn't like the offense in the NBA today (citing LeBron as an example).

So in 2011 you were on board with the Cavs drafting Kyle Singler instead of Kyrie Irving because Singler had at least won a championship?sleeper;1736741 wrote:Okafor has won something. Towns has won nothing. Towns team was stacked to the maximum in college and never won anything and I don't expect him to win in the NBA with an unstacked team.

FYI Zach Lowe recorded a podcast with Steve Kerr yesterday. If you guys can stomach listening to someone talking about winning a championship that we lost, and I wouldn't blame you if you tell me to gfm, I recommend checking it out.

Deangelo Russell is going to be in the HOF so if you want a HOF you might as well grab him.

Russell is better than Conley. Obviosuly not right now, but blows him away at same point in career and Russell has way better skills.

This. With all due respect to Greg Oden IMO Russell is the best player I've watched play at Ohio State(only since 97, but still).Laley23;1737153 wrote:Russell is better than Conley. Obviosuly not right now, but blows him away at same point in career and Russell has way better skills.

I agree.Terry_Tate;1737155 wrote:This. With all due respect to Greg Oden IMO Russell is the best player I've watched play at Ohio State(only since 97, but still).
I'm on record as saying I'd go #1 overall with him. He has it all, especially at the NBA level. Shooting, ball handling, driving, mid-range and most underrated portion...unreal vision and ability to execute a pass from that vision.
He is, IMO, the best pure basketball player in the draft.
I won't say better than Oden, because I think what Oden did and how good he was has been reduced by his following NBA career to the point we forget a lot of his 1 year at OSU. I'm included in that. I don't remember HOW GOOD he was exactly, but know it was good enough that I won't pass judgement on a comparison. He is no doubt better than anyone else to come through though. All the way back to and including Michael Redd.

Greg Oden was better and if he wasn't injury plagued or a wife beater, he'd be destroying the NBA right now. Russell is #2 and I hope he has a better career.Terry_Tate;1737155 wrote:This.
