Official 2013 NBA Offseason Thread

Noel is a better athlete, can run the floor, can defend on the perimeter, and his basketball IQ is way higher than thabeets, he just has zero offensive game in the half court

I can see the IQ being higher since Thabeet was a pretty raw talent. I think Noel's limited offense is what has me pegging him in the same category for me.

 

[IATT]

Miles Simon
Mateen cleaves
Trajan Langdon
Cole Aldrich

Need to think about it a little more.. But that's off the top of my head.. Also Ed o'bannon

 

[wrightone86]

And Salim of course

Making me sad thinking of all the Arizona players I used to like man

 

[wrightone86]

I remember back when I collected/traded cards in middle and high school I had some Robert "Tractor" Traylor cards haha

 

[bilboshmangins]

I thought Jonathan Bender was gonna be Durant before 

o Durant was

Yooo! I forgot all about Bender. Yea I thought he and O'Neal on the Pacers were going to be a problem.

I thought Hassan Adams would have made a little noise at least too.

And Salim of course

I thought mustafa shakur would translate

def agree on Bender

I thought Juan Dixon would be the next Ai

I thought Lamar Odom would be that dude, he had a flash in that one clippers playoff run

Thought Emeka Okafor was the next great big man (Uconn turns out some stiffs...villanueva, thabeet, etc)

Beaseley

Thought Eddie Curry would get it together.

 

[shox23]

Two more favorites Rashad Mccants and All Thornton

 

[IATT]

Man.. Mccants and like a million and one unc PGs

 

[toru okada]

hollis price 

 

[law3001]

Dejuan Wagner man

Soooo much potential

Jersey

QFMFT

I remember his highschool games didn't score like 100 plus points in one game? Thought he was AI 2.0

Adam Morrison

Ed Cota

Eddie Griffin

Darius Miles

Joe Smith

 

[bilboshmangins]

Man.. Mccants and like a million and one unc PGs

sean may  etc

 

[lawdog1]

Also Ed o'bannon

Pretty much that whole 1995 UCLA squad was a big disappointment. Tyus Edney, Toby Bailey, the O'Bannon bros, Gerald Henderson, George Zidek. None of the amounted to anything in the league.

 

[shox23]

Joe Alexander was supposed to be the next Larry Bird

 

[kevin cleveland]

I said Kyle Weaver was going to be better than Westbrook when they were in college (both combo-y guards from west coast schools), and like, half meant it. But I mostly just didn't/don't like Westbrook, really liked Weaver, and wanted to be right about something super improbable.

I know. Who is Kyle Weaver, right?

I still have hope.

Wagner

Granted if he panned out, I don't think Cleveland would have been in the position to get Lebron.

Edit: pretty sure he was there when Lebron got there, but if he was good they wouldn't of had the pick to get him is what I am saying.

So many players from UNC...

Who would have guessed Steve Blake would still be serviceable and Dixon would faded so quick?

 

[bilboshmangins]

Wasnt there a rumor that Rashard Mccants ended up doing gay porn

khloe def lost

wayne ellington etc

my white boyz:

[awwsome]

Wagner was the truth, I thought him and Bron was a dynasty happening.

Loved Salim too, he was a microwave at Arizona

 

[shox23]

How did Shleden Williams go top 5? How did he land Candance Parker?

Hawks passed on Deron Williams and Paul for Marvin Williams and Brandon Roy for Shelden so much mediocrity

[bilboshmangins]

Joe Alexander was supposed to be the next Larry Bird

he was supposed to be the next great asian sensation.

 

[mitchellicious]

this why he went to lehigh

 

 how tall was he there? 

Who is this?

 

[big j 33]

I don't like this "I am Spartacus" moment where everyone is helping out JA and listing off all the guys they were wrong about.



Anyway, I was bizarrely confident Jerryd Bayless was going to be great. I have no idea why I liked him so much.

 

[JD617]

I thought Marcus Banks was gonna be the **** after I saw him eat TJ Ford's food in summer league.
