Yah Baby!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

E.Will should be higher than both Barton and Babbitt.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

E.Will should be higher than both Barton and Babbitt.

Why? He hasn't shown much yet.

 

[Rhal]

E.Will should be higher than both Barton and Babbitt.

Then Barton yea, but Babbit has shown a very good NBA skill so he should remain the winner from the 4.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Current is the key word in the rankings. Currently, Williams can't play

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I expect all of them to move up after this season.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Why? He hasn't shown much yet.

Neither has Barton.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm confused. There are only 450 players in the NBA

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm confused. There are only 450 players in the NBA

They included 50 sucky free agents. Armon Johnson is even on the list.

[Mediocre Man]

Well, guys like Claver, Barton haven't played yet. Guys Like Curry etc, don't play anymore


Last year 18 players played for the Blazers

Pretty much sums up Babbitt too.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Neither has Barton.

At last count, he still had 4 functional limbs.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Why? He hasn't shown much yet.

Well, I know the sample size is small, but he did post a PER = 18.8. That ranked him 58th in the league in PER for players who played at least 48 minutes.

The kid definitely has potential.

[BLAZER PROPHET]

The kid definitely has potential.

BNM

I certainly agree on that point!

Always funny when old fucks call younger men kids. It really is just calling yourself old.

He's a man. You're just an older one.

Babbitt - 401

He's improved from last year. At this rate he'll be pushing a top 100 ranking in 100 years.

When you reach a certain age, you earn the right to call anyone under 30 a kid.

BTW, it don't mean it in a condescending way. I've met Elliott and he's a good kid.

BNM - old fart who totally outplayed guys half my age last night

Championship coming soon!!!

 

[NOVoodoo]

Well, ESPN is always right, so this must be true.


I'm actually curious what the thoughts of Blazers fans are on Jonny Flynn's ranking though. They have him #386, under Luke Harangody. Has he really fallen that far?

(BTW - I started a thread on the NBA Rankings in the NBA forum. I know that's essentially become a Blazers' sub-forum these days, but it'd be nice to see posters branch out and post about general NBA opinions outside of the Blazers' forum.)

Flynn is worse than #386, he's terrible.

We should have given that kid more of a chance.

Article about Meyers Leonard. Sorry if already posted.

[Nate Dogg]

Pretty much sums up Babbitt too.

At least Babbitt hit 3's unlike Crawchuck for the season and Luke didn't get injured. And Babbitt made more points than Flynn.

Good article. I hadn't seen it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Good article. I hadn't seen it.

Leonard is quickly becoming my favorite Blazer, which is saying a lot since I hate American white centers. he is goofy, but at the same time has a mean streak in him. He also seems very genuine. I hope he becomes an average center in the league, and not one of the many great white hypes that came before him. His either or on blazers tv was very funny. It's easy to root for any 7 foot pro athlete who says he likes bubble baths over showers. [video]http://www.nba.com/blazers/tbtv/video.html?videoID=3899[/video]

HEY HCP! Somebody f'ed that up, the ending runs on for like a minute and a half of black screen with music.

 

[HailBlazers]

Good article. I hadn't seen it.

"Me and Damian (Lillard, their other first-round pick) were talking about it," Leonard said. "He's going to be guarding Steve Nash and I'm going to be guarding Dwight Howard. Welcome to the NBA."
