2000870, Jay Bilas: D.Waiters has the potential to go down that GOAT path!!
Posted by all stah, Wed Jun-27-12 11:13 PM
NOPE!!

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:8101362

Jay said Dion Waiters. I heard it!

He said it, and i said it to Soulhonky, and the rest of you faggots.


CLAIMING!
2000884, as if his head wasn't swole enough.

I said it all season, your favorite college guard dont want it with Waiters.

he's gonna put a lot of backup 2's on skates as a 6th man. lethal in transition.

I'm rooting for him, cause wes johnson just got painted white by rick adelman and renamed chase budinger.
2000892, lol it must be true cuz Woj says Cavs are seriously considering him at 4

2001356, Woj is the truth.

2001391, Is thinking like Jay Bilas a good thing?
Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Jun-28-12 07:09 PM
And I'm confident with Waiters not being as good as DWade. I'll keep tabs on this one.
2001396, Ben Gordon at best
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Thu Jun-28-12 07:10 PM
and Ben aint bad. hes just a 6th man
2001420, If he could shoot like Ben, I'd say take him #2
Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Jun-28-12 07:17 PM
That's the problem, he is more like a Dwyane Wade type but if you aren't as good as Dwyane Wade then that means you're closer to Rodney Stuckey.

Not bad but, again, not what you team with Kyrie and not at #4.
2001858, If he was Ben Gordon he wouldn't come off the bench in college
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 07:14 AM
.
2001898, He was Cuse's best player
Posted by DJR, Fri Jun-29-12 09:07 AM
Shit, Gordon was probably the Bulls 2nd best player for a few years there, and he came off the bench.

But Waiters coming off the bench last year was really just a technicality. Scoop Jardine was a 5th year senior who had already been starting and Brandon Triche had been starting since his freshman year, so they were both locked into those spots before Waiters got there. Even though Waiters had surpassed both by last year and it was obvious very early in the season, Boeheim didn't mess with it and just left it alone, and given that they went 34-3, there was no reason to make a change when his philosophy is it doesn't matter who starts anyway.

Also, the 5 who started the game were not always the 5 who started the second half. Boeheim's gotten big on that "doesn't matter who starts, it matters who finishes" thing in recent years, and 2 or 3 "bench players" often played more than some starters and were on the court in crunch time.
2001393, Way too high at 4....way too high.

2001867, Gottlieb just said he's gonna be better than Chris Paul
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 07:53 AM
I swear he said it on Mike and Mike. I officially will never listen to anything this dude says again.
2001869, What were you doing listening to Mike and Mike?
Posted by The Real, Fri Jun-29-12 07:59 AM
I find that far more interesting.

but these dudes saying Chris Paul?!!
2001893, Name a player from Cuse since Melo that HASN'T been a bust
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 08:50 AM
I'll Wait (c) Katt Williams
2001895, I can't even recall all the ones that have been drafted since Melo
Posted by Dr Claw, Fri Jun-29-12 09:01 AM
without Googling, and I know that Melo is the only real standout. Flynn and Warrick are aight.

2001926, Flynn was drafted #5, and wasn't in the league last year.
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 10:00 AM
2001927, #6, and yes he was
Posted by DJR, Fri Jun-29-12 10:01 AM
He didn't play much but he was on Houston and then got traded to Portland.
2001934, OK regardless...he's a bust, as is Nichols, Greene, Rautins, and Johnson
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 10:08 AM
2001937, LOL at Nichols and Rautins
Posted by DJR, Fri Jun-29-12 10:18 AM
How the hell can 2nd round picks who aren't even expected to make it, be busts? Rautins and Nichols both who went from scrubs early in their college career that weren't even on an NBA radar to very good college players who made the NBA. Two of the most improved college players I've seen at Cuse and both did very well to even get to the league in the first place.

Greene....late first round pick. I'd say he's produced about what you expect out of late first rounders. He hasn't surprised or overachieved, but he's not a bust either. He's a rotation player who's going to get a second contract.

Flynn and Johnson are the only ones that you can call busts. The rest make zero sense. Those two at least are still young enough to have a chance to shed the bust label.

2001939, on what planet was Rautins picked/projected high enough to be a bust?
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Jun-29-12 10:19 AM
he was a second-round local favor pick.

Nobody thought he was gonna be shit.

I forget who else you listed there but that name jumped out at me.
2001949, They guy picked AFTER Rautins was battling for ROY that year.
Posted by subjctmattr, Fri Jun-29-12 10:31 AM
Rautins ain't in the league.

I knew he wasn't shit, but hey.
2001954, late 2nd round picks cannot be busts
Posted by DJR, Fri Jun-29-12 10:36 AM
Occasionally a really good player can be had down there, but that's not the norm.

Most of those guys have an uphill climb to make the team. C'mon.
2001941, besides Johnson
Posted by daskap, Fri Jun-29-12 10:21 AM
them other guys u mentioned werent drafted in a position to "bust"
2001938, He was talking about Kyrie
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Jun-29-12 10:19 AM
2001945, yea I figured something had to be wrong there
Posted by daskap, Fri Jun-29-12 10:25 AM
not sure why gottlieb would be comparing a SG vs a PG
2001950, Nah dunny I heard it.

2099003, if the cavs don't take ben mclemore and trade this BAMMA!!!

2099004, If they trade Waiters who else is gonna get assists though?
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 04:29 PM
2099006, marquis teague? harrow? jimmy?
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 04:35 PM
2099008, Unfortunately the Cavs don't have any guards that aren't chuckers.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 04:38 PM
2099012, they have have one that's a knock down shooter
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 04:41 PM
knight sorry, by the way...if he don't bump that up to 16 and 7 by end of next year, i bet joe D make him a back up. ain't nobody got time for all that.
2099014, Nah, they got a 5 apg lead guard Lou Williams type.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 04:43 PM
2099016, pistons got a 4 apg 36-year-old avery johnson type PG
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 04:45 PM
2099020, that always outplays Thin-Stache when they on the court together
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 04:48 PM
2099023, except he don't. and he SORRY
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 04:53 PM
2099032, Except he does and you really mad about it.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 05:22 PM
2099037, yeah, but for real, knight sorry...
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 05:28 PM
even I thought he'd be better than this.

austin better than doron, too. it count. sorry.

and your next batch...yeah...they sorry. i done peeped. we can just move on to 2014 draft for real.

2099041, Brandon Knight better than your HISTORY
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 05:34 PM
Austin is one of the worst ever and ain't good as Lamb. Never was.

And we got 3 now that's better than every prospect you got. And we got 3 guards coming that's better than Austin and Sulaimon.

And you mad.
2099044, why he better than lamb now tho? strange...
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 05:38 PM
knight sorry tho. get at me next week, when he crack 20 again and you feel like talking.

if he could only drop them 20 and 8 you cyse CONISTENTLY...but, consistency is what separates these guys, isn't it.

the ability to replicate a result time after time after time after time....damn, it really can be difficult.
2099060, Why are you so angry that Doron Lamb >>>> future R.O.Y Austin?
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 06:14 PM
2099061, why you so angry that he clearly not...
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 06:15 PM
lillard got R.O.Y. tho :)
2099062, He clearly not? Really? And Gordon coming back too.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 06:17 PM
Austin ain't getting any more gift minutes.

I hope he don't slip behind Xavier.......Zah....Veee....Yay.
2099063, yeah...really. i mean...what are you basing it on?
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 06:18 PM
you can't even run to PER.
2099066, I've watched both. Austin is really bad. Doron is not.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 06:24 PM
The only reason their stats are close is because Doron had a slump for 3 games and doesn't play a lot. That's why you wasn't popping shit a 2 weeks ago.

That shit will go back up though.
2099070, i watched both and disagree...that was easy
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 06:25 PM
2099071, Of course you would. You still think Nolan Smith is good.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Thu Dec-27-12 06:26 PM
2099073, no, i don't. he sorry.
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Dec-27-12 06:41 PM
it's easy to drop agendas when you not holding on too tight.
