Pierce's career has been historically underrated, but I don't see the point of this discussion.

If Paul Pierce was a #1 pick, he would be a mid-tier guy (ignoring longevity) so it's not that outlandish at all to compare a guy to Pierce if that guy is projected #1 overall.
kids these days smh
I'm not sure that answered my question. Actually confuses me more.
If Paul Pierce was a #1 pick, he would be a mid-tier guy. Isn't that what he is?

Gigglepoo thinks it's funny that people think that people compare Jabari Parker to Paul Pierce since he'll never be as good as Pierce. The people who compare Parker to Pierce usually have Parker as the #1 prospect so I think it's perfectly fine since Pierce is about as good as you would expect a #1 pick to be.

The conversation started when it was asserted that Parker played like Pierce, as if a #1 pick becoming "Pierce good" were too high of expectations.

Paul Pierce is Reggie Miller tier. Not up there with the top tier swingmen all-time. What he has is longevity at a relatively high level, which guys like AI, TMac and Vince didn't have.
I have no idea who Jabari Parker is, so can't really comment on him.
Being "Pierce good" is a pretty good expectation for a player, because you have to factor in longevity and the contrasting teams he has played on.
The mindset of the number one pick kind of makes all this talk silly, because it's largely a one player draft and then the rest of the trash to the D-League.

Jesus fuck
Reke leading the Pelicans to all-time bad levels of offense without Davis, his season has been terrible so far.
And Austin Rivers is still godawful. What a terrible pick that was.

Jason Smith and Anthony Davis make a pretty good shot blocking duo. Long as they keep Austin Rivers on the bench they should do alright.

What site is that?
Whilst i agree he's terrible. It's not like there's a long line of guys in that draft, picked after him, that make you question the pelicans sanity.
There's a whole lot of mediocre after that pick.
to make ever other fan feel good about their point guard situation.
Uhm, HOF careers are.

Gondo isn't insisting Lamb and Adams are Gods and totally worth giving up Harden for, I'm sure they played fine tonight.

Damn Beal in 2k mode. Told Wall to move out of the way so he could win this.
No doubt.
