    LOL yo if Jimmer goes higher than Kemba the GM that selects jimmer first needs to off himself. Career killing move.

    Kemba Walker's college career is similar to Brandon Roy and Dwade

    He's not as good b/c of his size obviously,

    But his year by year 4-year improvement, then carrying his college team, hitting game winners, is reminicsent of them

    He reminds me of Ray Felton, not in his game, but how you want that type of guy on your team. Felton has a 'i love basketball' mentality like Walker

    Look at Kemba's senior year and look at Iverson's senior year.

    then look at what were called weaknesses in Iverson's game before he entered the draft..(too small, cant pass, and not a great shooter) those are the same knocks on Kemba.

    strengths are quickness, toughness, defense in the passing lanes, abiity to finish at the rim, etc.

    Faried has the NCAA record for rebounding.

    You want someone to draft 6'9 Bismack Biyombo as a Center, so whats your point?

    C'mon Millz ur comparing him to Iverson??? At best Kemba Walker is gonna be a Jamal Crawford Jason Terry type a microwave jolt scorer off ya bench. Kemba wont lead any teams to any type of sucess

    real talk, I didnt believe it myself....

    but the proof is right infront of you b, ? the stats...(the stats are ridiculously close) but all the "experts" picked Uconn to finish 10th in the big east this season, not 10th in the nation...10TH IN THE BIG EAST.

    but they won the whole thing, and Jeremy Lamb didn't start performing until around the Big East tourney, they're the same size and have the same exact skill set. Im not saying he's gonna be A.I. but I wouldn't be surprised real talk.

    Tristan Thompson will be a solid player if he can go on a squad that gives him PT

    Biyombo will be a rebounding/defensive type player a lot of scouts comparing him to Ibaka/Nene but that's reaching to far he could be Kwame Brown

    A lot of sleeper players in this draft coming out late first round and second round...couple of them might surprise a lot of people.

    word on the streets is a possible trade between minnesota and los angeles

    pau gasol for the #2 pick and either kevin love or martell webster and johnny flynn.. sound like a ? deal to me lmao


    if its the 2nd and kevin love then we need to draft brandon knight or kemba walker.

    if its the 2nd and johnny flynn/martell webster we can take derrick williams to replace pau and start flynn

    *please let kahn be that ? stupid*

    I didn't pass judgment on the dude.. just sayin its a bit of a contradiction to say he gonna be like Terry but say he can't lead a team to "any type of success". A lot of teams could use that 6th man scoring leadership, fearless, clutch and passionate. Lord knows my Bulls could use it.
