Who should become the first person to be drafted to the pelicans?

[Purple Haze]

since when does failing out and being academically ineligible = red shirt?

That's what he's classified as, not sure what to tell you.

And honestly that's better than a medical redshirt for us. I could care less that the kid failed out. He's killing it now.

Only had to read one sentence before I came up on the first thing you were wrong in.

Anthony Davis shoots 71% at the rim, Drummond shoots 67% at the rim.

Anthony Davis converts on 91% of his dunks, Drummond converts on 90% of his dunks.

Anthony Davis converts 52% of his layups, Drummond converts 49% of his layups.

Anthony Davis has gotten his shot blocked every 17 attempts, Andre Drummond gets his shot blocked every 15 attempts.

Anthony Davis converts a and one on 6% of his shots, Andre Drummond converts a and one on 3% of his shots.

Do I have to keep going? Keep in mind that Drummond has 50lbs on Davis as well.

And last but not least, since you mentioned how Drummond has a hook. Anthony Davis shoots 55% on his hook shots, Drummond shots 11% (yes 11%). That's some hook shot he has there...

Wow one of those Ball Don't Lie moments.

[Eman5805]

meh? not showing up to a court date could be the biggest red-flag there is. Sort of indicates that they don't think the law applies to them...or being above-the-law. Bad news. We have to be careful who we select to grow with AD.... it has to be right.

The answer is still "Meh." Extrapolate a circumstance you are only second handedly at best familiar with if you choose. I'm not worrying about that. Too much gets made of stuff like this as if our players are formative children and a bad influence can and will corrupt them.

Meh.

This isn't apples to apples. These guys play two different position and don't get equal time and oppurunities to score. This doesn't factor in contested shots or assisted baskets. And the numbers are still close (except for the hook numbers) I clearly said as good as or better.

[da ThRONe]

That's just common sense. Vasquez has more assist than Chris Paul this year is GV>CP3 I think not.

I'm not the most educated basketball fan but, dang. I'd have just left it alone if I were you.

That's true. I was trying to save you embarrassment. Carry on, I actually find it amusing.

I've got a question for everyone though. I've heard good and bad on Smart. Some saying he's legit and some saying not. What's the general consensus on him? Personally his measurables make he really like the prospect of him at the point.

[AD23forMVP]

I really wish I could believe in my own opinion so much that even after people prove me wrong time and time again I STILL believe in my opinion. I'll give da throne that.

You don't ever have to worry about saving me from anything. I'm an adult I've never been embarrassed to speak my opinions.

So you think being slightly ahead in a few categories means Davis is better on a partial year basis? Stats don't tell the whole story. They are a good reference point. However like I stated we can go through stat this year alone and guys who are scrubs could have higher %'s than stud players it happens. There are so many varibles not factored in to those numbers that they can't be all telling.

LOL once again clearly based on your logic Vasquez is a top 5 PG. Stats don't tell the whole story. So nobody has "proved" anything.

Dude...answer this for me. If Drummond is as good as you say he is, why no teams took a chance on him until pick 9? What did they not see in him that you do? Because if he is as talented as you say he is he would have been taken top 5. 8 professional scouts passed on him, for what reason? If the Hornets passed on Davis, do you think he would've lasted to the 9th pick? But Drummond is more talented you say?

Don't waste your arguments on me. I don't care. I'd rather talk about who we'll draft first.

At this point it just seems like you'd rather keep making asinine statements like Drummond has guard skills, a jumper, and a hook shot (which he clearly does not have any of those three), rather than admitting how wrong you have been in the past. That's ok though, I went through a time where I had trouble admitting I was wrong as well, maybe one day you'll move past that. And the "stats" say Greivis is a below average PG, and we've talked about that to length on this board, not sure where you have been.

Thanks for your statements lately. I've grown weary .

[Purple Haze]

I'm over it as well.

[carpo_07]

I've done alot of stupid things drunk. But I have never ever been so drunk that I would ever say Drummond is better than Davis.

And you ignore the fact that stats aren't the end all be all. If I told you Kobe had a deadly jumper after his first year when he was air balling shots or that KG had an unstoppable game when he struggled his rookie year people would point to stats. It's not stats it skillsets that usually provails. Drummond skillset is there the stats will likely follow.

There's no changing any pro Davis people's minds here and I'm sold on Drummond we can all agree to disagree. I'm sure this debate will spark up often as both players careers progress.
