    Nice to see Gordon taking the next step, magic need a franchise player badly and most of the 2014 draft class been underwhelming as hell he's one of the few in the top 10 with star potential

    The 2014 class was solid imo.

    potential star

    Embid
    Jokic

    Potential all star

    Wiggins
    Parker
    Gordon
    Nurkic
    Saric

    Starter/Role player

    G.Harris
    Smart
    Payton
    Warren
    Hood
    Capela
    Clarkson

    Above average draft. I'd give this class a B+
    still early tho.

    Lol u remember how hype that draft class was. "Best since 03" they even got a mention in that 84 draft doc on nbatv. They haven't lived up to the hype especially the lotto picks

    Towns is like lillard to me puts up stats and that's it

    If you watch lillard he gets numbers and makes plays but his defense trash and he don't do nothin to consistently impact the game besides score.towns real similar

    The agent for Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz changed his explanation Tuesday night on the treatment the No. 1 overall pick has received on his right shoulder, revising his earlier statement that fluid was drained from it during the preseason.

    "He had a cortisone shot on Oct. 5, which means fluid was put into his shoulder -- not taken out," agent Raymond Brothers told ESPN on Tuesday night. "My intention earlier was to let people know that he's been experiencing discomfort. We will continue to work with (Sixers general manager) Bryan Colangelo and the medical staff."

    Makes no sense for Towns to be as bad defensively as he is

    Excerpt from a book how Anthony Bennett became the #1 pick and how trash he was


    "Bennett purchased a home in Independence, not far from the Cavs’ facility so he would be close. But it didn’t take long for team officials to begin questioning his work ethic, and it soon became clear Bennett couldn’t play either forward position. He started out as a rookie behind Tristan Thompson, Anderson Varejao, and free agent pickup Andrew Bynum. He never passed any of them. He showed up to his first training camp overweight by at least fifteen pounds and out of shape. When he appeared in the team’s intrasquad scrimmage on the campus of Baldwin Wallace University in early October, Bennett was gassed after only a couple of trips up and down the floor. The questions about his conditioning started early and never really went away."

    I hate how people keep trying to shut Lavar up. The dumbest thing is how people think this somehow makes life in the NBA harder for Lonzo and all of these ? like John Wall and Pat Beverly are corny as ? . They look like fake ass bullies. Why are they all running to social media giddy as ? about what they're gonna do to him on the court? Just shut the ? up and do it.

    Lonzo is averaging damn near a triple double. NBA players are arrogant as ? every single night but these ? putting more energy going at a players father. ? is sad when you think about it. Lavar ain't saying nothing that any other players father says in private. The fact that he's in front of a camera shouldn't make a difference. I swear America loves to silence ? when they get a platform.

    Lavar ball said he could beat jordan one on one,his son is better than 2x mvp curry and that lonzo would lead the lakers to the playoffs(lol)

    It's obvious lavar is using the media to promote that generic platinum fubu brand.More power to him but he's writing checks hat his son has to cash

    Wall a lame who stay insecure nobody gives a ? about that brickin ass ? , just cut off all driving lanes and get back in transition and wall = useless

    Ex-NBA star Ben Gordon was sending threatening videos to people in the days before a violent standoff with a woman in his NY gym … TMZ Sports has learned. FYI, Gordon was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation over the weekend after cops responded to his business, Of Our Own — a sports rehab and recovery center.

    This is the guy you ? go down memory lane over constantly

    Smfh. I wasn’t even being sarcastic! I did enjoy that bulls/celtics series in 2009. Best playoff series I’ve ever seen. Ben Gordon played great in that series. He hit some big shots. Shane what’s happen to him though
