hey willie, is thabeet nba lottery material?

[gtc08]

going back and forth on him. i'm a big college hoops guy but not into uconn as much as you.

 

[kingbill]

He'll be a lottery pick for sure. With a solid season, top 6 should be a certainty.

He's still raw but a 7'3 player who can be a rock on defense is too good to pass up.

 

[Willie99]

Yes, you can't teach size.

under Jimmy, he improved 1,000% between his freshmen and sophomore years. I expect to see a similar improvement this year and then he's gone.

The laundry list of big men lottery busts is growing each year, so action on him being a lottery pick is futile for me. The action of him being anything in the NBA is quite different.

 

[gtc08]

hey willie, i might throw a big east bet out at you. kind of like cuse this year.

You do know Rafael Araujo didn't play for the best maker of men in college basketball, right?

You do know playing hoops at BYU does not exactly compare to playing hoops at Uconn and in the BEAST, eh?

We ain't Pitt dude, we are an NBA factory:thumbsup:

 

[Willie99]

OK, I'm in for anything UConn vs Cuse

 

[gtc08]

The maker of men

agree with everything you've said, calhoun doesn't treat his players with kid gloves. he makes men out of boys and they are not only better players but a helluva lot tougher as men when they leave.

Question wasn't NBA success it was whether a GM would take a chance on him in the lottery....

Who gives a rats ass then where he gets drafted if he has no impact? Whats the point of the question if you dont think he translates? I understand your reasoning but i mean really?
