I hope you didn't take me seriously.

Why? They have Thompson at PF, Varejao at C, and still managed to get the draft's 2nd best C in Zeller. They had a huge need at SG, and may have filled it. Saying that a team should've picked a certain player over another this early in their careers is fucking stupid.

Nah it's not stupid at all to say that Drummond is a much better player than Waiters.

Drummond falling to #9 is a joke. Guy should've been a top 5 pick at least.

IT'S HALF WAY THROUGH THEIR ROOKIE YEAR

Waiters could easily become the better player, none of us know yet.

Who cares if it's halfway through the rookie year?

I don't see how anyone who's watched both of them could argue Waiters is better than Drummond or has the potential to be the better player.

Would you rather have Damian Lillard or Austin Rivers?

can we all just agree that last year's draft class was indeed very deep. yeah, I think we can.

**Notorious** · 01-29-2013, 10:56 PM

Easily the best draft since 08.

You can't be this fucking dense.

Drummond may be better NOW, but that does not mean that he'll always be the better player and have the better career. In '09, Tyreke Evans was fucking great, and Jrue Holiday was mediocre. Now, Tyreke is the mediocre player and Holiday is one of the best PGs in the NBA. You're evaluating the draft before anyone has even had a chance to develop, which is moronic.

**Notorious** · 01-29-2013, 11:06 PM

I'm evaluating them based off potential and from what I've seen so far.

And I fail to see how someone could argue Waiters has been more impressive or that Waiters has more potential than Drummond.

I'm not saying it's impossible for Waiters to be better than Drummond, but I find it highly unlikely that he'll be better than Drummond.

As far as Tyreke and Jrue go, I always thought that Jrue had a lot of potential and was never all that high on Tyreke Evans. I never thought Tyreke would be a star or anything like that.

Tyreke numbers were great due to the situation and circumstances of that Kings team. His overall ability wasn't never considered amazing even after putting up Lebron numbers in his rookie year.
