    Yeah. Avery Bradley is a defensive role player shooting 40% from the field with a PER of 9. Vasquez is a stat stuffer on a terrible team. Quincy Pondexter and Kevin Seraphin ? Lol don't make me laugh.

    Avery Bradley is arguably the best defensive PG in this league.

    I'm not even going to bother, keep thinking these players you highlighted are scrubs.

    They're not scrubs but do you really think those guys bolded are better than Jeremy Lin?

    If you think any of those guys are better please list stats and a reason why.

    Our team with no Lin for the whole season wins at least the same amount of games if not more. I think it's ridiculous how people find no shame in rooting for one player in a team sport. Let's be honest it's about race for them. It gives your people pride. I understand that. But try to think a little clearly and judge talent more fairly.

    Neither the two of us know any GM's. Unless you know some personally & they told you that?

    I personally would take GV & Lin over Wall any day. If you prefer Wall over those two that is your prerogative I just disagree. But lets not pretend like we know what GM's are thinking.

    Oh I see you were disagreeing with the fact that they are scrubs. Ok I agree with that post.

    ooh i like this game.

    2009: Harden #1 or #2. I'll say #1 because he's been healthier than Blake.
    1. Harden
    1B - 2. Blake
    3. Steph Curry
    4. Holiday
    5. Rubio

    2010 Lin... this one's complicated
    1. Paul George
    2. Greg Monroe
    3. Cousins
    4. Wall
    5. Favors
    6. Larry Sanders
    7. Gordon Hayward
    8. Bledsoe
    9. Avery Bradley
    10. Evan Turner
    11. Vasquez
    12. Ed Davis
    13. Lin

    2011 Parsons
    1. Kyrie
    2. Valanciunas
    3. Manimal
    4. Kanter
    5. Tristan Thompson
    6. Klay Thompson
    7. Kawhi Leonard
    8. Brandon Knight
    9. Vucevic
    10. Parsons
    11. Derrick Williams
    12. Kemba Walker
    13. Jimmy Butler
    14. Mirotic
    15. Motiejunas
    8-12 look interchangeable to me. And it's still a young draft, this one will change a lot. Like, i could easily see Derrick Williams back in top 5 in a year if he keeps playing like he has lately. Or I could see brandon Knight making an all star game in 5 years if he reaches his potential (he has a ton). O Bee-smack could figure it out. Jimmy Butler looks really impressive, he could be better than Parsons in a year. Who knows. But right now, i think Parsons is 8-12 range.

    Admittedly I haven't seen most of players on your list much. I can only judge by what I know and my own bias. George and Cousins def should be drafted above Lin. Vazquez and Lin is a toss up. Now for those Kentucky guys excluding Cousins, no one should be drafted above Lin. Wall is as athletic as a player gets but he's out of control when driving and doesn't have great court vision. Bledsoe is in bottom pack of NBA starters (even given my Kentucky bias). You saw Petterson played in Houston, and still would take him over Lin? Every college basketball fan already knew Lin's no-scholarship-offer story well before he entered NBA. Harvard should've been in the 2010 tournament with Cornell. As much as I love Wall, with hindsight any Kentucky fan would want to recruit Lin and make Wall our back up if he still chose Kentucky.

    All this talk about Lin Not better than whoever. Anyone think Lin not worthy of 1st round? How about lottery? The man was undrafted and cut twice. He was almost ready to give up NBA.

    He is way over expectations of all the GMs in the league. Or else something else was in play? You all know it.

    But I digress.

    All I hope is Lin contines to improve and unless a superstar falls into lap and requires he be traded I would like to see him grow. Wouldn't it be funny if after 3 years the team is worry they cannot keep him because he would cost too much to resign because he's that good.....

    1. Griffin
    2. Harden


    I'd say Lin is around a #15 pick.

    Parsons, it's too early for me to say. Maybe in the #15 to 20 range.
