Kids have big heads in general. What you need to do is look at Wade while he was at Marquette and look at him now.
Waiters will be a ROTY candidate.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Rivers score 20ppg on 39% shooting to steal the award from Davis.

Beal is going to be a BEAST in this league. Although I thought MKG was the third best player in the draft, I thought Beal was the second. Wall is going to love playing with him.

Article is shit but the numbers don't lie.
He was the most productive SG in the NCAA last year and gets no respect.
HGH, one of the fun side-effects.
How is the biggest reach in 5 years a steal?

... I'm a fucking Syracuse fan. I know how good Waiters can be and I've repeatedly posted it! That being said, I'm not going to shill for him unless someone's paying me to do it.
He might develop to be as good/slightly better than Beal. But you're going overboard out of sheer desperation.
Tyler Hansborough put up some of the best numbers in ACC history and his NBA career looks great.
ish
This is exactly what they said about Thompson. He is on the verge of being a double double machine.
He couldn't even get Jamison off the floor.

Yeah you can still see it there...
Second year
HGH? Cmon dude
Right. Why would a guy who has had some of the most serious injuries in the NBA take a hormone that will allow him to recover 10 times faster and is not tested for.
WHY WOULD HE.

Beal's defensive game is what makes him special. How is Waiters' D?
He went to Syracuse.

TT was pretty so so. His FG percentage for a PF is awful as well.
Just admit you'd rather have Val.

If he was, he fooled the hell out of me. I can't remember one significant injury where he didn't miss a huge stretch.....

hahaha, with the way Cuse's players have turned out lately I'm inclined to agree.

The way he came back from that shoulder injury as a complete man beast and with a huge jaw hitting every 3 he took in the olympics was pretty frightening.
And Bron had growth removal from his jaw at the height of his powers in Cleveland.
And wasn't Bosh's named tied with a doctor who worked with Tiger Woods, who's game dropped off not because of mental issues but because of injury reasons...
Edit: Bosh lost all that muscle like immediately after that article came out also
Cuban managing to salvage this offseason.
He covered so much damn ground on that block.

All aboard! The Love train!
That's what they said about Wes Johnson.
Cuse guys have no idea how to play defense.
Yeah he's had a big ass jaw since he was a kid
The face of a kid you'd chase of your front steps with a bat.
I'd call the cops on his ass...but they'd probably refer me to animal control.
Hey now, Melo can step up when he has t.... bwhahahahaahaha

Cuban got Brand for 2.1 mil. Fuck.
Cuse's zone makes horrible, lazy defenders look like lock-down juggernauts.
Boeheim is worse than Coach Cal.
At least Cal's project players aren't automatic failures.

Difference was I knew Wes would get eaten up. Wes didn't seem to have the mindset, even if you have WINGSPAN/quick/youthier you need the aggressive mindset to play D. Wes doesn't have that. Waiters does have it.
I'm not saying he's going to lock down fools, but he won't be a liability on D.
Yay. Crazy how much can happen in a week. The team is semi respectable now and should be more fun to watch than last year.
Just saw Brandi's post. Awesome. Only 2.1 mil? So Delonte will probably be 2-3 mil a year , that leaves 2 more million for use?
It's the reason why 2 of them are not heading to the Olympics. Bosh with a muscle tear, from roids and Wade because he'd piss hot.
Waiters always reminded me of a bigger JET just nowhere near as good or even as consistent.
I may be going overboard but he has the potential to be an all time great. He has excellent court vision and decent shot selection, speed, size, the whole package.
Kidd-Gilchrist and Beals benefit from playing in a very top heavy conference, There was a big quality drop off after UK (which would have lost to Ohio State if they played in the NT), FLA and Vandy. Waiters played in arguably the toughest conference in the nation (Along with the Big Ten).
Also Hansbrough almost fell out of the lottery. Waiters rose on the NBA draft board as we approached the draft the more scouts watched his game.
He is arguably more NBA ready than any of the other Top 5 guys.
Jenkins is stroking it. He looks damn fine out there, definitely beyond the arc.
Why call him that?

That's a very good comparison, although I think Dion is much more of a willing passer. The key to this dude is he needs to recognize who his teammates are and take advantage of them. He's going to have some good passers in that lineup (Kyrie, Varejao) and if he can learn to move w/o the ball he'll open up alot of opportunities for himself.

Wade missed a shit load of time after that. Like a good quarter of the season.

This is another in the line of moves they had to make to open up the cap space to straight up sign him. First was Darko, then this, next is dealing with Brad Miller.
This is why they've been trying to work a sign and trade this whole time.
Yeah, yeah, you may.
