107. "lol, I think you're trying to hard, "similar skillset" doesn't mean..."
In response to In response to 105


          

EXACT SAME. I don't think any 2 players have exact same skillset, lol

Bottom line is they're both pass first guys who struggle to score

Marshall wasn't considered a reach at the time, some people had him going higher than that.

Does he really have a high ceiling? He'll be 22 at the start of the season, I'm not sure how much he can improve, I think he'll struggle to put up Jeremy Lin numbers. Plus he's kinda dumb, didn't he get caught stealing a bathrobe or something? Lol, not exactly the kind of decision-making you want from your point guard.

How is he so old as a college sophomore anyway? Did he flunk a couple grades or was he one of those guys that was intentional held back to make him appear to be a better prospect?

HE HAS MCADOO ABOVE SULAIMON AND HOOD. I CAN'T.
Aug 12th 2013

Also, I don't care HOW good that Croatian is.
Aug 12th 2013

It will be interesting to see how Exum pans out
Aug 13th 2013
8
so help me God if the Sixers take his ass over any of the Big 3
Aug 13th 2013
10
      He's basically what MCW is supposed to be
Aug 13th 2013
18
           What was MCW supposed to be? He hasnt played a reg season game yet
Aug 13th 2013
21
           What Exum actually IS
Aug 13th 2013
23
                Lol...you don't watch basketball player youngers than 20 yrs old unless....
Aug 13th 2013
26
                     I see enough, I'm not stalking playgrounds across the country like...
Aug 13th 2013
31
                     Catch me at the playground in a tracksuit with 5 gold necklaces dangling...
Aug 13th 2013
44
                     Didn't dude say once he only really watches the tourney for college?
Aug 13th 2013
32
                          pretty much, MCW was one of the dudes I actually checked for because...
Aug 13th 2013
37
                               No one ever pegged MCW for a dominant scorer though.
Aug 13th 2013
56
                                    that's the thing, to play guard in the NBA you have to be able to score....
Aug 13th 2013
61
                                         My problem was more with your Exum/MCW comparison.
Aug 13th 2013
65
                                         RE: My problem was more with your Exum/MCW comparison.
Aug 13th 2013
80
                                              That's the beauty of differing opinions.
Aug 13th 2013
83
                                                   how do you think he compares to Kendall Marshall?
Aug 13th 2013
87
                                                   Longer. Faster. Much better defender. Much better rebounder.
Aug 13th 2013
96
                                                        I think their skill sets are similar, coming out of college, most people...
Aug 13th 2013
101
                                                             I think their skill sets are remarkably dissimilar in a number of clear ...
Aug 13th 2013
105
                                                            
                                                             Also, re: "ratings":
Aug 13th 2013
106
                                                   I pretty much agree
Aug 13th 2013
94
                                         why don't you think MCW can be a plus defender?
Aug 13th 2013
69
                                              Plus his length and hands could make him danger in the passing lanes.
Aug 13th 2013
73
                                              yeah, he's definitely good at that
Aug 13th 2013
77
                                              I could be wrong I just don't see it him
Aug 13th 2013
82
                                                   welp then it's official...MCW will be ROY
Aug 13th 2013
99
           I KNOW. Except bein from Australia is even worse than bein from Syracuse
Aug 13th 2013
55
Dakari Johnson is the truth...he could be another Al Jefferson
Aug 13th 2013
11
      I can't wait to watch him play.
Aug 13th 2013
79
wow, nm
Aug 12th 2013

7 is a lot. Shit. We gotta field a team next year. Other thoughts....
Aug 12th 2013

Agreed. No chance all 7 go.
Aug 12th 2013

      Dante needs to come and do a year and half of the College Experience.
Aug 13th 2013

           I'll keep praying your poor team can finally land a recruit.
Aug 13th 2013
9
                Thanks. Every little bit helps.
Aug 13th 2013

I almost want Jabari to stay at Duke for 3-4 years.
Aug 13th 2013
12
I have the feelign he's gonna stay a while too.
Aug 13th 2013
14
yeah, he not tho
Aug 13th 2013
15
      I'd be stunned if he stays past the second year.
Aug 13th 2013
17
           he gone.
Aug 13th 2013
20
lol @ this shameless troll bait attempt
Aug 13th 2013
16
what are you talking about?
Aug 13th 2013
19
      It's simple.
Aug 13th 2013
28
He still doesn't have a NBA position, the longer he stays in school...
Aug 13th 2013
22
      He's a 3. A strong, but skilled 3 that can play 4.
Aug 13th 2013
25
           can he defend NBA 3's OR 4's though?
Aug 13th 2013
34
           w/ that argument hardly any wings under 20 would get drafted
Aug 13th 2013
36
                lol, how did you get that?
Aug 13th 2013
38
                     its hard to determine if a kid can defend @ that age.
Aug 13th 2013
43
                          you can determine size and athletic ability, even a "slimmed down"...
Aug 13th 2013
50
                               And just as plenty of "athletes" are shitty defenders...
Aug 13th 2013
51
                                    no shit, defense is almost as much about attitude as it is physical...
Aug 13th 2013
70
                                         Jabari would be fine against all but the best 3s.
Aug 13th 2013
74
                                              and Bird was the ultimate subpar athlete/super team defender
Aug 13th 2013
81
                                                   Larry Bird couldn't play the 3 in the NBA today
Aug 13th 2013
84
                                                        Actually, he'd have an easier time in today's NBA
Aug 13th 2013
93
                                                        dont say dumb things
Aug 14th 2013
119
                                                             Take your own advice
Aug 14th 2013
120
           His max is sub-Carmelo Anthony, which is hilariously ironic
Aug 13th 2013
40
           He'll be able/more willing to do more things than Melo.
Aug 13th 2013
42
           Well, Basa says he's Paul Pierce
Aug 13th 2013
46
           prime P-dub way better than Melo. WAY WAY Better
Aug 13th 2013
48
                And imo Pierce is a way better Offensive player than Melo.
Aug 13th 2013
49
                I totally disagree with this
Aug 13th 2013
54
                no.
Aug 13th 2013
57
                better facilitator, less pure scorer, way better in tight spots
Aug 13th 2013
58
                     Rebounder: Melo + he is still one of the great last shot shooters
Aug 13th 2013
62
                          nah, Pauly was the star on a young Celts team prime for big things
Aug 13th 2013
66
                          Yeah, they can break down the stats. I was just talking about skillset.
Aug 13th 2013
78
                          o so the 6'10 sidekick got shitty and you cop pleas for Pierce? HMMMM
Aug 13th 2013
88
                               play to your seed, man. all he had to do.
Aug 13th 2013
89
                                    Cool, so you admit that PIerce is a bigger underachiever than Carmelo
Aug 13th 2013
91
                                         fine with me, man.
Aug 13th 2013
97
                          www.TALKABOUTIT.com...
Aug 13th 2013
85
                Prime Pierce? The one on those shitty underachieving Celt teams?
Aug 13th 2013
63
                     he made a conference finals...jeez, it wasn't THAT long ago
Aug 13th 2013
68
                          And so did Carmelo! nm
Aug 13th 2013
71
                          exactly!
Aug 13th 2013
72
                               o, so Piece was an underachieving loser in his "prime?"
Aug 13th 2013
75
                                    yep...that's what he was. and then he won.
Aug 13th 2013
76
                                         Pierce won with JR Smith as his sidekick?
Aug 13th 2013
90
                                              no. he was never charged with such a task. however, he won a title
Aug 13th 2013
104
                          as a 2nd fiddle, PP might've scored more but those were Employee #8's...
Aug 13th 2013
86
                               Dude, just STOP.
Aug 13th 2013
92
                                    Their entire offense was ran through Walker
Aug 13th 2013
95
                                         No, it wasn't. Especially not when they were winning.
Aug 13th 2013
98
                                         Yeah, it was
Aug 13th 2013
102
                                         because walker was a ballhogging chucker
Aug 13th 2013
100
                                              What are you talking about? Walker was basically a "point forward"...
Aug 13th 2013

Aug 13th 2013
109
                                                             wrong. Pierce got better on offense
Aug 13th 2013
110
                                                                  He clearly didn't watch them. And I'm supposed to be the...
Aug 13th 2013
111
                                                                  Actually I watched that team quite about, before and after Walker...
Aug 13th 2013
113
                                                                  lol, "wrong" about what?
Aug 13th 2013
112
                                                                       wrong year. try again.
Aug 13th 2013
115
                                                                            That was the only season he made the playoffs without Walker....
Aug 13th 2013
117
           lol, he definitely has that fat gene, you definely have to be concerned....
Aug 13th 2013
53
           Luckily, he chose Duke, where players don't become fatties.
Aug 13th 2013
59
                blakeney was semi-fat
Aug 13th 2013
60
                     Damn, haven't heard that name in, like, forever, lol.
Aug 13th 2013
67
           paul pierce is his comparison...melo only mentioned for hype
Aug 13th 2013
47
           he's more like a Steve Smith type...
Aug 13th 2013
45
There's gonna be so many busts from this class
Aug 13th 2013
24
there's ALWAYS a rack of bust...
Aug 13th 2013
27
Chris Walker made me laugh too.
Aug 13th 2013
29
      I thought he wasn't cleared to play.
Aug 13th 2013
30
           That whole paragraph was bizarre.
Aug 13th 2013
33
           Lol...like it's that simple.
Aug 13th 2013

           it's not strange at all. it's chad ford.
Aug 13th 2013
35
yeah, predicting how hard a 18 y/o is going to work once you give...
Aug 13th 2013
39
      Even before that. A grip of top recruits come in as NCAA freshmen...
Aug 13th 2013

           that's true too that's why I don't waste a whole lot of time paying...
Aug 13th 2013
