This is sorta like saying Storyteller doesn't know any more than anyone in here about the salary cap because he is not employed by an NBA team, don't you think?

lol..ok...ok...What I am saying is he is not a scout...He runs a draft website and he and a bunch of other guys who work with him go around and view players and write opinions on them but that is not thier profession...believe me...they have contacted and hired\used people from message boards to write articles\etc for thier website....

I would not trust thier opinion of a prospect over that of an actual team scout......

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress
If he was some kind of long-armed athletic freak with a superb attitude and intangibles, I could maybe understand. But of course he's not...

I had a good long laugh after reading those tweets. I still kind of like Waiters, but just like most of the guys in this draft aside from Davis, there's nobody I'd bang on the table for.

Actually Givony is a scout. he works (or has worked) for some of the Euroleague teams IIRC

Well, Givony had Faried rated higher than Nolan Smith?


I believe he is a scout too. For some reason I have him having worked in Europe? Might not be right though
 
Supposedly there are 10 guys in the draft with potential red flags, scary.

Yeah - Soup Juggler has a big one. Couldn't even start for Syracuse???

Oh, and he's a very short SG. And MZ compares his body to Felton's.

Scary on all accounts.

I would take a chance on Waiters late lottery but not early because I have all these concerns plus being a Syracuse player.

He was their best player on both ends. Oh, Syracuse? the 34-3 Syracuse? Yes indeed.

No he wasn't. And he couldn't even start? Who doesn't start their best player.

Duke won a championship with Smith as a starting guard. That's scary. I'm cool with Waiters. But trading up for Waiters is pure stupidity. And taking him at #6 isn't a great idea either.

Thabo>Harden, clearly.
 
Amico:

• Several reports say the Trail Blazers are looking to move into the third spot, currently held by the Wizards, in exchange for the No. 6 pick and a player.

I wonder who that player would be? Would have to be Matthews one would think, right?

And again, I say Harden isn't OKC's best player. Or even second-best. OKC starts their two-best players.

You always start your best 2 players, at least. But you can have a key player, maybe your 3rd or 4th best player come off the bench. Like Ginobli in SA. But you don't bring your best player off.

So your point is an invalid response to my initial comment. Because I said you always start your best player. The two players you listed are not OKC's best or even second-best. But good try (not).
 
If they move up to take Soup Juggler then that is pretty stupid, IMO. If they move up to draft one of Beal or Robinson then it is fucking brilliant

I wouldn't like that trade unless it only cost us someone like Claver or Freeland. At 3 I would like to take a lot better player then Waiters - someone like Beal.
 
IDK, they seem pretty high on Matthews and him being part of the core--and maybe new team leader. I'm guessing E. Will?
 
hmm, who could they want at 3....That is WAS...obviously Beal isn't a lock there after all?

I would say Beal....Maybe Barnes or MKG?

Beal makes the most sense to me....

Wes really fits what they need, but not more than Beal. Maybe they're thinking that Wes+6 is better for them than Beal alone.
