Dion Waiters

[Fez Hammersticks]

He's as much of a PG as Lillard is!

 

[illmatic99]

Stay the fuck away from this dude. Getting some bust vibes.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I think a PG makes the players around him better, either by drawing defenses or passing. Lillard can do that, while Soup Juggler can't

 

[MickZagger]

Lillard was the starting PG for his team. Waiters didn't even start for his team, much less at PG.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Started for Weber State is just a notch above HS ball.

That's a poor argument.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The best player on a team that went 34-3 and ranked #5 in the nation.

And you're comparing roles?

Weber State? Big Sky Conference?

Excuse me, but....

 

[Reep]

Waiters at 11 might be in the mix, but before that I pass. His coach said he was the best guard he ever had. So why did he come off the bench for only 21 minutes per game? I haven't got a clue. I could never figure out Boeheim anyway.

You want Waiters at #6 this week?

Thank God the draft is just a week away.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

ABDL6

Anybody but Damian Lillard at #6.

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ugh, we saw it the first time. No need to quote yourself and add a ghey billboard.

Waiters at #6 is a bigger reach than Lillard, though. I'd be happy with either at #11.

Seriously, I'd rather hear his incessant bitching about who we drafted then his constantly changing calls for who we should draft.

Fez has turned into Kim K. there isn't a draft pick (seemingly besides Lillard) whose jock he hasn't been riding...

If you like 'em all, you can say "I told you so" later regarding the ones that do pan out.

I'll tell you one thing I don't get in this whole discussion. How the hell is anybody willing to 'pound the table' (to borrow from Mike Mayock) for Liliard or Waiters ... or anybody for that matter. Outside of Davis and maybe Robinson is anybody in this draft really a sure thing?

I can name some players that will surely suck or be busts.

I don't think anyone in any draft is a sure thing. That's just my opinion though.

 

[Nikolokolus]

No, there's no such thing as a 100% chance at a future all-star (well maybe Lebron and Durant qualify?) but I think you can definitely pencil some guys in for good careers (Davis, Robinson) but outside of that select few I'm not seeing a lot of star power in this draft ... or where there is potential star power it's in a pretty flaky package (Drummond, Barnes, etc.). Maybe I'm just down on this draft more than I have been in past years? I confess I hardly watched any college basketball this year aside from a couple of games in person at PSU.

You don't remember last years gawd awful crop?

 

[Nikolokolus]

I do ... and I was somewhat relieved the team was picking near the back of the order (not that I especially liked the way they bungled it).

 

[Haakzilla]

...Soup Juggler turned Baby Juggler:

 

[BBert]

LOL. Does he take her on road trips?

 

[MickZagger]

Waiters at #11, yes. Waiters at #6, oh hell no.

At the 11 spot I'm for us going for a high risk/reward type guy. Thats why I'm for Leonard and PJIII at that spot.

I still feel Andrew Nicholson will be a very solid player in the league. I think we should look into trading down a couple spots to attain him, or getting another pick to use on him.

Nicholson and his 15.9 PER would sure look good on our bench right now.

 

[MickZagger]

Holy shit, I was just looking at Waiters advanced stats. -0.1 OWS is just flat out awful.

I think most players would look good on our bench right now!

Not surprising. My Syracuse theory is as solid as my American born white center theory

 

[drexlersdad]

yeah except carmelo and brad miller prove its garbage

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ya, 1 guy each in the last 20 years. You got me. Has Carmelo made any team better?
