You don't remember the player that lead us to the national title game and put 25-12 up against Noah and Horford; all with a broken hand?Laley23;1737156 wrote:I agree.
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.
Oden's pro career was trash but he absolutely was a beast in college.

He's been traded 3 times, but also traded for 3 times.

He's on a non-guaranteed contract, doesn't surprise me. I'd expect if/when we trade Haywood he could be moved multiple times as well.Commander of Awesome;1737232 wrote:He's been traded 3 times, but also traded for 3 times.
Reminds me of Alonzo Gee last year, I think he has traded 5 times.

This Cousins/Karl/Kings is such a fiasco. Now rumors flying the owner may fire Karl for wanting Cousins traded. Sports talk this morning said if Cousins is traded the Kings should just fold their franchise entirely.

Yep.
I hate the fact that NBA is allowing writes to Tweet the picks before they are announced live. I want to be on twitter for trades/etc. But don't really want to know the selections.

The anticipation value I guess. Its not a huge issue, but I like not knowing who's coming when it's announced, so that I can have a genuine reaction.Commander of Awesome;1737297 wrote:Why? What difference does it make.

Agreed. NBA is moving away from traditional BTB bigs, I assume Mudiay goes to Philly.

Also, with LA taking DRuss, I expect them to get Love or Aldridge.

Yeah, if Love goes to the lakers he is looking at another 3-4 years without a playoff appearance.

Kings are taking Willie Trill Caulie-Stein. Cousins has to be gone, right?
