Yea sorry bought that. Irving is going to be good, but he won't ever be better than john wall, derrick rose, derron williams, rondo, or chris paul when he joins the knicks. So that means the only way he makes an allstar game is if he gets traded, which isn't the point of drafting a guy number 1.

when i said kentucky game, i was thinking from a ku fans perspective, sorry bout that. And yes, i still defend that fact that he was the best player. UK's point guard was terrible. When Robinson and jones went one on one robinson won every time. Gilchrest was bad. And since this is a nba site, i'm projecting towards the nba, and the things robinson did was nba ready. Anthony davis was very good, but i don't think he's very smart. Every time he took a shot outside the lane, i was think "good!" And ku's guard for some reason thought it would be a good idea to shoot the ball into his armpit. And tall skinny guys who bounce around like that, not a great transition to the nba (randolph, wright). But yea, davis was really good. Robinson just showed offensive moves. He took jones off the dribble of timesand finished with his left hand (he's right handed) and put a couple of good hooks, which he could not do last year. oh, and thanks for the welcome!

Hey, to be honest I couldn't help but talk hoops. the podcast isn't up yet so i had to throw out a few thoughts. Yo dude, trust me I've got plenty of ideas for a podcast, and any true fans can come up with basketball questions easy. Plus, i can still expound on those questions in the podcast, so no worries.

Sorry for the double post, but I've got a few more answers: 1. I think cleveland blew this draft. irving will never make an allstar game. could he start for a champoinship team someday? yes, but he will never be a great player. As a big 12 fan, tristan thompson never blew me away. that was a stat pick. in a game to 21, who would win: Derrick Williams and Brandon Knight, or Irving and thompson? i'd take williams and knight everytime. 2. Sullinger will deffinately win a title. he is not a top 5 pick though. His comp is to david west, who is good enough that if he hadn't of gone down last season, the hornets might have made some noise. Sullinger is a winner though.

Hey guys, thanks for the positive greetings! In case you were wondering or just confused I am in fact, Zach new host of the future award winning OTR podcast. When we get started I'll be able to answer all questions, but as for right now I'd like to dish out a few quick thoughts on a few questions that caught my eye. 1. I believe James Harden will win Most Improved Player. By all accounts he has been great this summer. I know it's just pick up ball, but with another weapon on offense, the thunder will probably push the pace even more than last year, which will fit right into his wheelhouse. Also, this will surprisingly help Westbrook out, since Harden will be running the offense, leaving westbrook to do his stuff, i.e play terrific defense and make amazingly athletic plays. 2. I beleive teams that employ mostly older stars will be fine, since all they have to do is make the playoffs, then its all even. extra rest never hurt anyone. One subpoint is that this actually gives Ray Allen more time to work with Rondo on his shot more. if you're a celtic fan, watch out for rondo's perimeter percentages to improve. 3. Robinson(for KU) will be just fine. We saw in the Kentucky game that not only was he the best player in the game, he simply looks like an NBA player. He made NBA moves in that game, against NBA talent, and harnesses nba athleticism. the only thing holding him back are the guards (who need to grow up quickly) and foul trouble. He still plays so fast that he picked up 2 lame fouls, taking him out of the game. This KU team has older players, but together they are a young team that will grow up. still if ku gets to the sweet 16 it's because he averaged 18 and 10.
