Perkins would still play too much.

over Noel too.

Ibaka and Noel defending the post would be such hit or miss IMO.

Neither are strong enough or good enough individual post defenders to hold it down, but their combined shot blocking ability and help D would be

True or False: Larry Sanders is already a better player than Serge Ibaka.

I'm sure the storylines angles come from the top at espn. Nba is all about storylines.

The current conspiracy is that the small market teams will do better in this new CBA. Big city teams don't need the help selling tickets. They sell regardless of being contenders. .

So from now on when someone asks "why would they want so and so over the "Knicks/bulls/lakers". There's the angle.

Orlando has had the best luck and had acquired the best amount of talent in the 30 years of the lottery.

Tonight, they will not get the 1st pick. Because this draft sucks. Next year they will get the number 1 pick.

I say 1) Cavs 2) Bobcats 3) Magic 4) Suns.

(No idea why I'm predicting the lottery, I'm seriously a compulsive gambler)

True or False: Larry Sanders is already a better player than Serge Ibaka.

I say false..... only because Ibaka has a developing jumper...... and puts up his offensive numbers because he is feeding off KD/Russy

but at the same time... I haven't seen Sanders play all too much, so my opinion is limited.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Bobcats get the #1 pick just for comedic value... getting the #1 IN ANOTHER crappy draft


Good luck with Pogo Stick

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Hope thunder get a high pick.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

MJ happy with that #1 pick,
Time to make a $1 outta .15

False

Im saying this off the fact that Larry Sanders doesnt have the jumper Ibaka has but both are good help defenders

 

[champcruthik]

I'm of the belief Larry Sanders is a better overall defender than Serge.

Ibaka definitely has the better midrange jumper. His production was hurt offensively without Russy creating. Significantly.

Noels would be safe in Charlotte. Suck for this upcoming season and see if you can get Wiggins or Parker.

Orlando really needs a PG to replace Jameer right? They have their frontcourt set with Affalo.

Cleveland more scoring or a reliable back up to Uncle Drew

Phoenix better off waiting next year.

Don't know about the Pelicans... funny to type that.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

I'd take Larry over Serge right now but might have to change my mind come November

 

[duba169]

It would be very funny for MJ to win a bottom heavy draft

 

[ballinsam23]

Kemba-GH-MKG-Jabari-Noel is a very promising young group if they can work that out.

They WILL NOT get back to back #1s. The NBA doesnt work like that, but if they do MJ will find a way to **** it up.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

It would be very funny for MJ to win a bottom heavy draft

It would be 2001 all over again for Money

 

[champcruthik]

With financial value considered, I'd take both Sanders and Henson over Ibaka.

And it's not solely because of his recent poor playoff showing.

 

[ballinsam23]

is this draft weaker than the 2000 nba draft?

 

[CP1708]

Would make total sense for MJ to get the #1 pick this year.

Total sense.

 

[flyerthandelta]

I hope folks know the lottery isn't Live....that's how you know the league is rigged they been made the decision way before hand

 

[Peep Game]

Dan Gilbert, piece of ****

 

[Bert.]

of course Pistons get screwed

 

[black migo]

Wizards got top 3 smh

Otto?

 

[ballinsam23]

LMFAO i legitimately feel bad for the bobcats now.

 

[Bert.]

Magic will get 3rd
