Knicks · Thre next Mitch Richmond / Oscar Robinson with more Athletisim (page 1)

Here are two of them for those haven't seen him play yet:

He's averaging 31 ppg over his last three games. Dude can jump out of the gym, he's very explosive and has a quick first step, has good court-vision, shows great defensive potential, and his jumper has looked absolutely wet so far this season. He is very much in the Rose/Westbrook type mold.

This draft is going to be absurd.

With Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Smart, and Dante Exum...you're looking at potential SUPERSTARS, not just all-stars with the first five picks. Crazy.

playa - The Big O is the only player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season.

For his career, Robertson had 181 triple-doubles. Without a three point line. Crazy good.

but I would draft Marcus Smart second, behind Randle, and before Parker/Wiggins

He played against slow , weaker and non athletic players, even though he was a smart player and good.

I'm comparing him to big O by his strength to get to where he wants to on the court.

Well, I for one am extremely excited to see who Denver/Orlando gets with our pick

They were weaker, they were never as strong as guys today.

Same for football, they were slower and weaker back then, there is no denying that.

The farther you go back mista, the slower and weaker they were. Mind you I didn't say they weren't smart or fundamentally sound playing the game..

He's definitely a big talent. I see Eric Gordon too.

Playa - slower and weaker? Based on what metric?

1. how fast did Bob Hayes run the 100 meters?

2. What sport did Wilt Chamberlain compete in other than basketball?

3. Did yo ever see the Celtice play in person during the sixties?

4. What were the body measures of Buck Buchanan, Nate Thurmond, Otis Taylor and George Mikan?

5. How fast was Tiny Archibald, end to end, on the dribble?

He eventually got a ring. That's more than a lot of people can say.

Based on the players those guys PLAYED AGAINST.

The names you mention were the exception, it's the guys they played against is what I'm referring to.
