Thread: Don't be too upset with #6 pick

  1. #126
    Cody Zeller certainly is the safest pick. I wouldn't be too upset with taking him if Noel, McLemore, Oladipo, and Porter are off the board. I like the ways he can compliment Davis' game. We could also move Lopez for a quality role player on the wings as a result.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    Rivers didn't show nearly enough last year to be counted on as our point guard. If they pass Burke based on Rivers then they're being foolish IMO.

Zeller is the pick for me to do that with Davis. Pretty exciting to think about.
    Len can run. He is athletic for his size as well. But I'm not arguing this no more. We will see what happens in a month
    We want more! We want more!

    Burke definitely displays his athleticism at times, but he plays so under control and with such great change of pace that he looks like he's moving slower than he is. You look at a guy like Westbrook, and he looks so fast, but he is always out of control. Burke is always under control, and that's a big reason why he had the best TO% in the NCAA last year.

    Yep. Sounds just like another guard we used to have. He'd even say he wasn't the fastest guy in the league but just knew how to change pace. And yeah, most times Westbrook is out of control. Speaking of out of control, Raymond Felton has oftentimes looked like a chicken with his head cut off.

    Now that I know we will draft 6 I looked at some film on Len, and after watching I would not be upset if we draft him.

    I wasn't ever arguing with you and I think all this is more of discussion than an argument. Everyone has diff opinions lol. I watched many Maryland games and I know all about Len. He played with horrible ball hogging guards. They didn't utilize him well at all. When he did get the ball he made the most of it. He has a back to the basket game that we lack. He is very solid on defense and is athletic for his size. I watched enough to also know his coach sat him for big spells cause of his conditioning and running the floor wore him out. Not sure what part of what I said u disagree with cause pretty much zeller is more athletic than Len sums it up. That's all I was really getting at. Which is the truth. Does it mean he will be the better player? No...but he is much faster and athletic than len tho.....btw I'd be more than happy with drafting Len. I was actually pushing for him earlier in the year and ppl on here were not digging it at all. They didn't watch him and only looked at numbers. He played with a horrible team and coach. He could of been much more dominant if given the chance.

    They're all from the same fabric. Lillard is too athletic of a comparison for y blood though.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    My bad just was getting frustrated with all the back and forth with people. But Zeller killed it at the combine and it surprised me, but in straight line speed, Zeller may be faster but I feel Len actually is the better athlete. I still see Zeller having trouble finishing at the rim and dealing with the length of the NBA. Len should have no such problems.

    Reports have said that Orlando has been linked to McLemore and like him so much they would have taken him over Noel if they had won the lottery.

    No problem man ..hey I'm right there with u. Len is still very young and could get much much better. He's a lot better than ppl give him credit for...that's for sure. That's why I said before. Everyone is predicting the same top 5-6 guys going 1-6 just in diff orders. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Len went top 5 to 1 of these teams.

    That's who I have Orlando taking. Not cause I want Burke to fall to us either lol. There is a possibility porter falls to us if cavs take Noel which is a good possibility I think. If the wizards take Bennett over porter which I've read in quite a few places is a very realistic possibility also.

    I'm firmly in the Len bandwagon. Athletic 7'1" center with good range that rebounds well. In my opion, he has the highest ceiling of anyone we will be picking from unless Oladipo, Mclemore or Noel falls.

    On the negative side, Burke lacks elite level speed and athleticism,

    I like Burke. I like Porter. I'm glad I'm not a GM.

    This mock has Burke at 6.
    Prejudice. Sorry but it's true.

We need points in transition and on fast breaks. His top speed is so friggin slow its painful to watch. Not just you in particular but a few on here like to say that too much. I've never read anyone on here claim Vasquez is the worst pg ever or in the league. That's over exaggerating the point being made that we need an upgrade at the pg position. To warrant that upgrade you need to expose the weak link. That's what is being done. He can be an elite backup pg Tho. IMO.
    Actually people here have said he is the worst pg, but I don't want to name who did because I don't want to give them that attention. One person even compared him to a monkey. Then there is the ridiculous bias. If Vasquez does something good, then it has to be qualified because no way Vasquez could ever do something good. Just no way. Now that is some hate. But whatever. I just hope none of the players or coaches read these forums. I hope they are busy working on getting better.

    You're right man, we're just all a bunch of racists.

    God forbid it simply be that Vasquez's weaknesses on the court hurt the team tremendously
