i would worry about randle is what holds back sullinger and bennett. defense, rim protection. a lot of 6'11'' long, strong 4's. serg, favors, LMA, brow. guys like gasol, zach, blake, the entire bucks team, tall combo center guys that he might find himself matched up with.

like favors yesterday, favors is a dominant dude but he really looked the part matched up vs the kid. just sayin there are a few of em.

for his part, randle is pretty strong and explosive and not without skills in the post or in the open court. real strong for his age.

Sure, the Blazers have Dame. But Football in the Groin has football in the groin.

Most analysts say someone like AL Jefferson and that is way off, totally different. Both physically and in terms of game.

Randle is shorter, very strong, explosive and has a really good handle. Faces up a lot, doesnt really play under the rim. He's going to have some amazing fast breaks this year and he's going to struggle against taller dudes. He definitely has difficult task creating his own role in the NBA.
So sad you'll disappear when all your opinions are proven wrong

Boogie seems pretty determined to become a three point shooter

Most starting NBA pgs ceiling is as a backup on another team. Ceilings they are fixed, like stone.

Starter on the 2014 Lakers doesn't count. Team was basically a joke. Langston Galloway and MCW were starters for a lot of last year. I think Clarkson is better than those guys, but you get the idea.

In all likelihood, on a good team his ideal role would be guard off bench. Don't see any contenders with Jordan Clarkson as your full time PG. If he significantly improves (which is possible, just super unlikely) he may one day be the 16th best PG in the league or something. The potential just isn't there, sorry LakerFan.

I'm not saying Clarkson is bad, he's a nice piece and obviously great value as a 2nd rounder. Saying he could ever be an elite guard is lol though. He has a better chance at growing wings and flying

Yeah I wouldn't exactly be thrilled with Dame on a max were I starting from scratch.
10-05-2015 , 10:36 PM
I think dame is fine on a max but also probably isn't going to be the best player on a championship team. I hope he proves me wrong though because DAME is awesome.
10-05-2015 , 10:39 PM
lillard looked sooo bad vs grizz. they shut him down. hes not a guy who can score through elite defense
10-05-2015 , 10:47 PM
watched some youtubes. clarkson is taller and stronger than i thought. i think the coaches realized there is no way in hell he is ever going to be able to stop the ball in the nba as a one. so one big edge he had, his size at the position, is gone. but i do think he is big enough to play the 2. but again, his shooting needs to improve big time.
10-05-2015 , 10:58 PM
when I said Clarkson would be a solid 6th man I didn't mean that as a bad thing.

If he wasn't on the Lakers you wouldn't give a **** about him and you'd just insert another name that we're all wrong on
I was only referring to his shooting too.
10-05-2015 , 11:03 PM
luckily dame makes up for his limitations on offense with some elite defense
10-05-2015 , 11:20 PM
I remember when dame vs kyrie was an actual discussion
10-05-2015 , 11:27 PM
White Dwight and Boogie looked like they were starting to get chippy, then Cousins undercut him on a shot and it looks like Leonard hurt his ankle.

I kind of like Moe Harkless. Doesn't seem like a bad get for just a 2nd round pick in 2020.
10-05-2015 , 11:53 PM
Dar0,

This cool with you?

I am ready! You can pick a line first.

Pat "Dirtbag" Connaughton has a 44" vertical leap? WTF?

No not at all, didn't realize Portland got him. Great transaction.

Supposed to be a plus defender tools and body wise. Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll turn into a lesser Ariza.

Olshey really is prbly the most underrated GM imo. He's had some bad offers in RFA but those guys have always been matched.

GM power rankings is something we should endeavor at some point
