I wasn't comparing him to Griffin...
They're totally different players.
I was just saying you can have a career by only dunking. Something you said couldn't be done.
Also, he's way more skilled than you give him credit for. He's just not big enough to be a 4 and not quick enough to be a 3...yet.
He can certainly play (WELL) at the NBA level.

Did you not see the 3 he hit?
Did you not see the 3 he hit?
He also had a double double...he's rebounding the basketball and getting putbacks.
He's definitely skilled offensively.
The reason he shouldn't go pro is because he's a 3/4 tweener in the NBA right now. He's got to refine a position.

But he isn't the focus of any
But he isn't the focus of any
But he isn't the focus of any D we face. I am not slamming him, infact, I think he is an NBA type player...but how often does he show a back to the basket game. He gets points on putbacks, backdoor cuts, dunks, and the perimeter J. Great player, but I think he needs to add something to his post game....
January 6th, 2013 at 3:02 PM |
No he doesn't...
No he doesn't...
Not in this offense.
Do you realize we had Zack Novak played PF for us last year? Was he a back to the basket player?
And again, in the NBA...he's probably a Small Forward. He doesn't need to be Kareem.

Zack Novak can't carve out a
Zack Novak can't carve out a
Zack Novak can't carve out a long term career in the NBA, although he has the heart to. I agree, he is predominantly a SF in the NBA, but that is a deep position in the NBA. It is my opinion, which you clearly disagree with, that like Burke, one more year would make all the difference for GRIII, not only for draft position, but longevity in the league...not saying he sucks, not saying he isn't talented....
January 6th, 2013 at 3:09 PM |
No, I agree...
No, I agree...
I agree that he needs another year...but not because he just dunks and isn't very skilled on the offensive end.

I also don't buy the "he's not the focus" argument...

Do you realize that Kentucky had like 6 guys drafted last year?
They all couldn't have been the focus.
UNC has freshman who don't even start get drafted and play in the NBA (ie Marvin Williams)

The exact sentiment I was
The exact sentiment I was
The exact sentiment I was thinking about GRIII is that he needs 'refinement' But the OP has a point; when you've got the best back-court duo in Burke and Hardaway, it leaves a lot open for the rest of the team. He sure has the ability, but I think some of his production would go down without the other two. I don't think we've really seen his ability to 'create' like Burke, especially, and Hardaway has.

To the guy who gave me crap
To the guy who gave me crap
To the guy who gave me crap about saying this team would consistently drop 80 points on our opponents: suck it.
my bad....but he is 3 inches taller than Robinson with more ups...
Robinson is good, and probably a first round pic this year, but if I am an NBA exec, I want someone who consistently show more in the paint for me to draft him...
