CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted December 1, 2014 I think it's just the way Self acclimates his players. Give him a couple months. http://www.cbssports...nutes-at-kansas Yea I'm being kind of impatient I realise and I hope he starts getting some play time and proving me wrong because I was excited to see him play before the season started.

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 Watching Kentucky vs Texas, notes so far: Kentucky have been terrible on offense (at one point they scored 1 basket in like 7 minutes). Nobody has stood out but Towns, WCS and Johnson have all had moments. If Tyler Ulis was 4 inches taller he'd be a lottery pick, really quick with the ball, can shoot and a scrappy defender but at 5'9... yea I don't know... I said in the Kentucky vs 76ers thread he'd be lucky to make it in the league but honestly I'd be delighted to be wrong about that. EDIT: WCS is a real disruptive force on defense. So long, can hedge high, blocks shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted December 14, 2014 Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria · 14h14 hours agoWillie Cauley-Stein now positioned as a Top 5 pick, per NBA scouts I've talked to and @DraftExpress. I love him as a rim protector, but not sure he's worth top 5 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted December 14, 2014 I was thinking we could take WCS at like pick 12 or something, he's not a top 5 pick in my mind. Although I thought he could be like a Deandre Jordan so in a league where people think Jordan will get a max offer I guess he could be a top 5 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicblue 315 Report post Posted December 15, 2014 So we believe WCS is not a top 5 pick because he's not worthy or because we don't want him to be? Just want to make sure I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to look at a draft board to see who I thought would be picked above him and you're right it's probably that I don't want him to be. There are probably only 4 guys I'd pick above him right now.

KandiKane 136 Report post Posted December 15, 2014 Lakers are now positioned 23rd overall. We still need them to stay as far away from 26 - 30th in combined standings for a chance at that precious 2017 first round pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We still need them to stay as far away from 26 - 30th in combined standings for a chance at that precious 2017 first round pick. Is that pick from them that far away? Dang I thought it was 2015 or 16? I guess it would have to be two years out though since you can't give up first rounders consecutively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We get 2017 unless they suck too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
