Seriously don't know how you can compare the two, I've been watching MKG play since was in high school and have watched TA's whole career, they aren't alike.

Oh and who should've been picked over MKG? Only person who has a case is Lillard and the Bobcats weren't gonna pick him when they already had Kemba, that's common sense.

Also, who are all these rookies that you were so "right about"?

The guy has one good game and youre all over his dick. A good finisher at the rim? He's shooting .410% and that's largely due to last game where he had his first good shooting game.

I can compare the two as they're comparable. MKG isn't going to magically gain the ability to shoot. Rondo is a good midrange jumper away from being near unstoppable to guard, only problem is he's been that way for the past 4 years. I highly doubt MKG ever becomes a good jump shooter and that will cost him. Once again I could be wrong, but I don't see him amounting to much besides one of the best defenders in the league as well as a good rebounder due to his athleticism.

I really don't thinnk they should have taken anyone else, but rather traded down to 4th overall pick and take the Cavs 24th selection. I don't see why they didn't seeing as MKG would have likely still been there.

Lillard, Waiters, and Drummond.

You're going to say Lillard was obvious, but hardly anyone here was talking about him predraft and a lot of people thought Waiters would bust because he was a backup in college. Drummond hasn't really become dominant yet, but everyone sees that enormous potential he has and at the very least he will be a solid defender/rebonder in his career.

I've been a fan of MKG since he was in high school, this has nothing to do with one game, I know what he's capable of. MKG's jumper isn't much to write home about, but with the work ethic he has, he's more than capable of improving on it. Yes MKG is a good finisher at the rim, if you've been watching the games you would know that he gets hacked a lot with the fouls being uncalled which of course drops his FG%, add that in with him not having a reliable jumper and it's no surprise why he has a low FG%. MKG at worst will be a poor man's Gerald Wallace. MKG & Tony Allen have nothing in common except for the fact that they're good defenders and while they're both considered hustle players, MKG is faster and the better athlete.

MKG would not have been there for the 4th pick, if they would've traded Cleveland the #2 pick, Cleveland would've picked either MKG or Beal, they sure as hell weren't picking Waiters with the #2 pick. Who would Charlotte have drafted then? Both Beal & MKG would've been gone and they weren't gonna pick Lillard since Kemba was there and they certainly weren't gonna pick Waiters.

Of course no one was talking about Lillard here pre-draft, he came from a small school that barely got any attention, he was relatively unknown. I highly doubt you were talking about him pre-draft, because I highly doubt a Canadian would be following a small American college team like Weber State. I don't remember hearing you praise Waiters, literally everyone in this thread was bashing the Cavs for picking Waiters and I don't remember you or anyone else defending him or the Cavs at all.

I don't watch college sports instead I research everything predraft. What I saw, read, and heard about Lillard was all great, he literally seemed like the perfect PG for the Blazers. I didn't expect him to pass as well as he was, but I was talking about his scoring ability.

And no, I didn't say Waiters should go fourth overall, although I did say he was going to be a good pick and I was hoping he would go to the Raptors. Of course that didn't happen as the Cavs reached for him, but he's turned out great.

If it means I was also talking up Sullinger as a good talent when you were shitting all over him during the draft. As well as PJIII although we don't know how good he will be yet.

**Notorious** · 11-11-2012, 01:04 PM

I wasn't shitting on Sullinger all through the draft, I didn't want the Celtics to draft him because of his injury issues. I don't know why you keep saying I was bashing Sullinger, I wasn't. Yes I said I didn't have high expectations for him but I wasn't "shitting on him", if I was shitting on anyone the Celtics drafted it was Fab Melo.

I was upset when the Celtics drafted him because of his back issues, I didn't want the Celtics to have another injury prone player. If I did shit on him it was probably because I wanted the Celtics to draft another player and was upset at the time, but I never said Sullinger was a bad player.

You guys are all cute with all your bickering.

All these 2012 drafted rookies are irrelevant as the only rookie that matters is JONASAURUS REX.

**Haystacks Calhoun** · 11-11-2012, 02:00 PM

Think you misspelled Draymond Green JM.

About that. Its time for a better thread title lol

JM · 11-11-2012, 03:24 PM

?

No other rookie in this league has developed such an intimidating nickname. JONASAURUS REX. It's a phenomenon. Stop HATING.

Ether · 11-11-2012, 04:22 PM

Humphries is having quite the game

**Red Viper** · 11-11-2012, 04:28 PM

yeah someone suggest a better title. Jonas is cool all, but Raptors are hardly relevant and Jonas hardly plays enough to have the title about him.
