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

[BallSoHard]

Rivers: height 6'5" wingspan 6'7.25" standing reach 8'.05"
Rose: height 6'.25" wingspan 6'8" standing reach 8'.25"
Curry: height 6'3.25" wingspan 6'3.5" standing reach 8'.1"

can someone tell me how rivers is taller and has a longer wingspan than curry but curry has a better standing reach?

Inaccurate measurements is how.

[HornetGuru]

anyway rivers is taller, longer, and has a better vertical than the players i listed so ill take his size at PG as an advantage.

[BallSoHard]

Rivers has a better vertical than Rose did? I doubt that

[Purple Haze]

He does actually, ever seen him dunk in warmups? It's crazy. That's what is so frustrating, he doesn't take it up that hard during games.

Can Vasquez dunk?

[BallSoHard]

It says rose was 40 and he was 38.5.

[HornetGuru]

No i made a mistake my bad, I forgot i listed rose, i thought i listed stephen curry and jrue holliday, my bad. But ya rivers was nasty at dunks in high school, one time he even did a 360, and one time he posterized a guy with a tomahawk too.

[carpo_07]

Can Vasquez dunk?

Certainly can, use to dunk at Maryland a bit and has the odd fast break dunk in NBA games too.

[HornetGuru]

Rivers is still young, i think when he puts on some weight in a couple years w some strength we will see him dunk on quite a few people. by no means a dunker, but he will give u a couple surprises along the way. remember when cp3 dunked on dwight? lol

Omg. I want to draft that guy.

Lets see how Rivers compares athletically to some SG's in the league:

Rivers: Vert 38" Lane Agility 11.54 Court Sprint 3.32
joe johnson: Vert 36.5" Lane Agility 12.05 Court Sprint 3.40
Tyreke Evans: Vert 34" Lane agility 11.81 Court Sprint 3.17
James Harden: Vert 37" Lane agility 11.10 Court Sprint 3.13
Eric Gordon: Vert 40" Lane Agility 10.81 Court Sprint 3.01 holy crap gordon is nasty athletic

[speedyG]

so thats why he's always throwin down on people in 2k13

[HornetGuru]

Lets compare Gordon to some athletic people in the league:

Gordon: vert 40" Lane Agility 10.81 Court Sprint 3.01
Westbrook: vert 36.5" Lane agility 10.98 Court sprint 3.08 Funny rivers has a better vert than westbrook
Wade: vert 35" Lane Agility 10.56 court sprint 3.08 wow rivers has a higher vert than wade too, but wade's lane agility is insane!
DeRozan: vert 38.5" lane agility 11.88 court sprint 3.31
Rose: vert 40" lane agility 11.69 court sprint 3.05 wow thought rose's lane agility would be way lower

Anyways Gordon pretty much destroys everybody. Especially in the 3/4 court sprint, wow.

[Pelicans_fan_504]

Lol AR is going to shock some people on how much he will improve.

[Eman5805]

Rivers: height 6'5" wingspan 6'7.25" standing reach 8'.05"
Rose: height 6'.25" wingspan 6'8" standing reach 8'.25"
Curry: height 6'3.25" wingspan 6'3.5" standing reach 8'.1"

can someone tell me how rivers is taller and has a longer wingspan than curry but curry has a better standing reach? Does rivers just have the widest shoulders in the world or somethin? lol wtf.

Rivers has a long neck. It gives him a lot of height. But it means his shoulders are a bit lower than other people as tall as him. I bet you Chris Bosh has a similarly ridiculously low standing reach compared to other 6'10" guys.

How do you guys feel if we trade down for Rudy Gobert in late 1st round ?

[Purple Haze]

So Todd McShay was on Mike and Mike this morning mostly to talk about Geno Smith but he brought up a random comparison to Shabazz while talking about Geno's supposed "character issues" (he does the NBA combine and way more NBA stuff than people realize).

He said that one unnamed NBA GM wouldn't take Bazz with the top 60 picks, while some think he's worth a shot in the TOP 10.

Top 10 people. I'm thinking that Bazz might drop quite a bit.

I wonder how much People like him know about these kids. Remember last year everyone said Rivers was a selfish chucker, and we see that was not the case. If Bazz is there I would take the chance

The GM said it, not McShay. And I'm sure an NBA GM knows at least a bit of what he's talking about.

Rivers WAS a chucker in college. And his hitch was (is) terrifying.

If we wanted him i don't think we would trade down, i think we would trade for a pick or purchase a pick from a team selling.

Man if we take Shabazz it will almost be like getting Rivers all over again. Similar hype coming out of HS, supposed attitude problems, considered overrated, lack luster college play, wealthy families etc. but just like AR he has upside and a fire that could eventually bring it all together. Heck I even think a GM or someone said something similar about Austin last year.
