jabari parker is the truth. he will be the next lebron/kobe game changer, franchise player, once in a generation talent. blee dat

You ain't saying anything diff than what everyone else on ESPN or twitter is saying lol
 
I could be wrong but I see a DeMarr Derozen/ Rudy Gay type ceiling for Wiggins.


I pray I'm wrong...




Randle beasted last night but I'm never sold on small 4s. Plus he needs to improve on his defense
 
 
I miss the old nba where a handful of guys could go off for 50+ any given night

kobe scoring 50+ 4 games in a row

gil0 dropping 60 on us

kobe going for 61 then lebron burning the knicks for a 50 point triple double

antwan and kobe trading 50 point games

iverson and tmac scoring 60+

Ah the good ol days
And none of those dudes had a real shot a title. I prefer having the best players in the league on legit title contenders.
kobe dropped 61 on the knicks the same year they won a championship

all those lebron cavs teams were right there in title contention

iverson made the finals while scoring 50+ the same year

mj scored 50 multiple times on title teams

bird scored 60+ on a title team

sucks that the only players shooting 35+ shots these days is rudy gay's bum ***
 
You ever realize when someone ain't in the NBA anymore and no one even noticed they left?

My dude Josh Boone flirted with a double-double average one year.

The Jazz just signed Dionte Garrett, the Iowa State guard who the Thunder bought into camp. They were reportedly interested in Kendall Marshall. What does this say about him at this point in his career? http://t.co/m9thPF8To6

Him and Blake are damn near IDENTICAL in height and he has a MUCH MUCH Better post presence than Blake had at this point in his career.


That's like apples and oranges though.


How do you figure? If you think Blake is a legit MVP candidate then how is Randle too small to play that position considering he knows how to play with his back to the basket?
 
I do really like the way Randle bullies his way around in college, if he does grow to 6'10 or w/e...  wow.

Then again, I never watch college BB so maybe I'm just easily impressed by someone who looks like they actually know how to play.
 
Blake measured out an entire inch taller and is an elite athlete. Randle is not. David West has a 7'4 wing span and is REALLY skilled. Kevin Love measured out slightly taller but is also one of the most skilled players in the league when you talk about shooting, posting up, finishing and passing.

So yeah, Randle is a little undersized right now for a big. He's not going to have fun in the paint if he doesn't add a consistent jump shot to his arsenal. Did you see him pump faking everytime he got into the paint? Because he couldn't really get separation? Those contested layups are bricks in the NBA unless you're an elite finisher.

Randle has potential but most of the stuff he did last night would not fly vs. any team in the NBA. He's not pushing any PF around at the NBA level. He still has potential. Pretty good first step. Pretty good handles. Great attitude. He wants to get to the rim every time. Pretty good athlete. Monster rebounder. He's going to need to turn into a really good mid-range shooter to become good in the NBA. I'm guessing Coach Cal is not giving him the freedom to take the midrange shot consistently yet - which is a good thing.
 
Randle wingspan is 6'11 which is almost the same as blake's 6'11.25 wingspan. He's probably going be a beast on offense while also won't be anything more than an average defender.
