  1. When you see Andersen's stats, you'd think he's the second coming of Magic Johnson. But when you see him play, he REALLY slow. Maybe even slower than most centers in the game today. I do like LeVine.

    Anderson may be slow but he's leading the nation in assist. He can't be slower that Korver and I've seen Korver play some good defense so speed won't be much of problem. LeVine is a beast though. I wish it was possible to get both. Maybe we trade Lou and/or Teague for another 1st round pick.

  2. I don't think we'll need to trade up. He's been scoring like this for the past 3 years. If he was ever projected to be a lottery pick, he would have been came out. I hope the Nets go back to losing but if they dont McDermott would be a pretty good player to come away with.

  3. Cauley Stein isn't that bad. If you've watched Kentucky this year then you'll see he's the best shot blocker in college basketball. He isn't a great offensive player but he can rebound and get easy put backs. I agree that James Young is good but I wouldn't be upset with Stein who has a high ceiling.

  4. I'm hoping Scott gets big minutes this year. He's very skilled. Looks like we're getting Brand and we got Millsap. Plus Al will play some PF. The only way for Scott to get minutes will be to play some three, but LeBron and Carmelo would bust 50 easily on him. I hope Ferry and Coach Bud work this out.

  5. Dennis is fun to watch. I hated when Mack brought it up the court. I can't wait to see him play with Al. Teague and Schröder on the court at the same time will be stunning. Even if we don't win too many games it should be more exciting than usual.

  6. I like what I saw from Jenkins. I hope he will be able to get some of those easy layups from cutting to the basket during the season. Jenkins will have to play big minutes this year. Dennis will be good and will probably look much better in the next game.

  7. If I had to choose between the 2 there's no doubt in my mind I'd rather have Iggy than to hope for another young guy with potential, who's been an overwhelming lottery bust, to finally realize his potential. Honestly I don't want either one of them, but if I had to choose I'd take the guy who's the far better defender.

    The league average for win shares per 48 is .100. Last year Tyreke finally broke the .100 with a .105. For his career he has a .075 WS/48. Iggy just had his 1st season under .100, with a .097 last year and still has a career average of .123.

    So which do we choose? The guy who had the best year of his career last year, which was barely better than the other guys worst worst ever year? Or the guy whose career average is still much better than the other guys career best?

    Either way you're going to have to overpay. Just gotta choose to go with the guy who is on the downside of his career or the guy who is probably never going to have an upside to his career.

    Tyreke can score. Thats really what we need in our starting lineup now. He won rookie of the year averaging over 20 ppg. I don't think you can qualify as a bust if you win ROY.

  8. "...there were games where he absolutely overwhelmed the competition....Ferry said Muscala may have been a top five player if he was going solely by numbers"

    Well no-shit Danny...if the numbers against Navy and American University (6-7 centers) meant anything at all you would be right - but they don't...(I'm not impressed by Niagra or St. Francis of wherever either).

    Muscala played a total of ZERO games against top-20 competition in the NCAA last year..

    He didn't play any top 20 competition but he play good against major schools but they weren't ranked at the time. His entire career he was competing against CJ McCollum to win Patriot League player of the year. CJ was a top pick and he played one game against Duke and that boosted his entire stock.

  9. The metrics people probably love him.

    "Unlike Bennett and Zeller, Olynyk did his best work compared to the rest of the field in the half court, where his 1.10 PPP is one of the top marks among all players eligible for the 2013 draft. He ranks in the top two in scoring efficiency on cuts and as the roll man on the pick and roll, in addition to converting a top-ranked 58.3% of his shot attempts in the post and 70% as a finisher at the rim."

    Danny is one of those people right?

    I'd take Olynyk happily if we can sign and trade Josh and pick Bennett. Al, Bennett, and Olynyk would be a great front court offensively. Olynyk won't get dominated too much defensively until we someone like Memphis or the Pacers. Otherwise we could be good.
