kg01 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 9 minutes ago, NBASupes said: Neither of these guys are going to be Ben McLemore or Stanley Johnson where they wash out of the league in four years. That's a bust to me. A disappointment like Marvin isn't a bust to me. Maybe you have a different view of what bust is compared to me. I could see a trajectory like Stanley Johnson who's a guy that had all the athletic tools too. 2 minutes ago, High5 said: McLemore is still in the league and having a pretty good season for the Rockets. The Kings didn't draft him 6 or whatever years ago for him to eek out a halfway decent season for some other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they haven’t yet so until they do or one wants to step up then I keep selecting the best talent available and let them battle. At this point, I can’t call any of them winners or guys that play “winning” basketball until they actually start winning. Nobody gets a pass.

Same for Stanley Johnson You said he washed out of the league after 4 years. I was just correcting you. I consider him and Marvin to be busts. Marvin was better, but he was the 2nd pick and had higher expectations. Edited August 8, 2020 by High5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude doesn't care about winning. Doesn't care about playing defense with low BBIQ. I would consider him outside the top 6 but not #1. Ball either.

JTB Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 9 hours ago, Peoriabird said: Reddish was the 10th pick not the 1st pick plus people are still trying to replace Reddish with Edwards. What the....!!! how... just how in the hell did you determine that??!!! no one in here is trying to replace reddish with Edwards if anything most will probably be replacing Edwards with hunter and moving reddish to the 3 if they could have it their way. Either way we are in a positionless era of just guards and forwards. So it don’t matter where a player like reddish plays because he literally can be a 2 or 3...he’s talented with enough potential to hold down either spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into next season cam will be the 2...hunter will be the 3...regardless of who’s drafted no ones arguing that or shouldn’t be. Any chance of any rookie we draft this offseason starting will come by injury only. Other then that most of these opinions of who’s starting are or should be future talk only based on how things pan out for this team. and it’s not extremely stupid looking into the future to see a lineup of trae, Edwards, cam, Collins, capela! ...Will it happen now? No...is it possible in the future if we were to draft Edwards ? Absolutely! If say all the players on the team reach their highest potential. Cam, Edwards both would be 2-way star players offensively and defensively. All the potential is there with those two. Trae would be an offensive HOF point guard at his highest potential. Collins/hunter highest potential TO ME would be a all star reserve talent ...that’s no knock on them that’s just how I see it. on a talent level and if everyone were to reach their highest potential...Edwards wouldn’t seat trae or cam in my opinion but he absolutely can put hunter to the bench if he along with everyone reached their ceiling. Edwards has more potential and is more gifted than hunter. That of course doesn’t mean he’s for sure going to be a better player. Everyone has to prove their worth no matter how high or low their potential is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a massive difference between a stud like John Collins and some up and coming players like Kevin, Hunter, and Reddish. Unless we getting Zion, no one should produce as much as John right now as a rookie. Edited August 9, 2020 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
