Manu is obviously worthless since he was a bench player, and which moron would want James Harden to be your first option? Dude is a bench player for OKC.
I'm just pointing out facts. How is that not in good faith or as Bobby put it, being dishonest. A #3 pick in a draft should have at least been a starter on a good team in college. Is that too much to ask for?
And now you see where Harden is. A washed up loser who will never be a champion. Come on guys! You're starting to embarrass yourselves now.
Ah, gotcha, it's just flat out trolling. You have to realize that you were a little bit too close to really stupid opinions that actually exist for it to be obvious that you were just trolling and shouldn't be taken seriously. No worries though, you finally made it obvious enough.
Why in the H. E. double hockey sticks would I watch a bench player when I'm looking to draft at #3?? Is this bass ackwards basketball world??
Wait, hold up! Did Hardhead suddenly become a champion?? What has that clown ever done to warrant any kind of attention? He wasted his career being a jerk.
I mean, Hollinger had a clip right there so there's at least one tape that has him as being pretty flat footed
A quick google search shows that many nba players came of the bench in college. Zach Randolph, Marvin Williams, Dion Waiters, Devin Booker, Zach Lavine, Tari Eason etc. I'm sure there quite a bit more. I am sure that people have mentioned to you that other higher rated recruits were promised starting positions. Also Reed averaged more minutes than the starter. Anyways carry on i guess.
I understand what youre saying but it's not really relevant to me. Unless you want to pick a "higher upside" guy with the intention of eventually trading him away for more draft capital than what is equal to the 3rd pick this year, or have said player replace another player currently on the team. Because you cant pay all of these guys if you do. So if the Rockets believe that Reed S is a player that fits well in regards to elevating the players already on the team (he sure the hell seems like he will to me, especially Amen) then he very well may be the best option. I haven't read what you would like to happen. What are 2 of your more favorite options they could take with the pick??
Before I get to that, I want to say that I get it. In a weak draft Reed looks like a shiny new selection. I'm just not a fan of over hyping role players. I want them to trade down and draft players to boost their defense and who will help them win now. I like the idea of trading down to #9 and drafting a player like Devin Carter who, imo, can come in and contribute right away. Then drafting a 3 and D big man with their other pick. Now if Sarr falls to 3 then I would get him and look to get a 3 and D tweener at the guard position with the latter pick.
There’s an entire season of film. He gambles and is out of position at times, that can be coached. But literally nothing in the macro says iffy agility.
We disagree on Mobley and Barnes v Green. I don't know why you act like Mobley would be garbage for us, but it's fine. We disagree. I hope we get more of March Jalen in 2024-25 but he is wildly inconsistent. Funny enough I was looking at Barnes' splits and I didn't realize he actually shot better in losses for Toronto than he did in wins.
I can't decide whether you are truly obtuse or intentionally ignoring what so many people have been telling you so that you can tell yourself how right you are.
