- 2014 NBA offseason thread, v3: Draft Part B- Why me, man? -

[TuBB]

I'd say Parker or Exum for ROY. Not sure about Randle. Is there a stat for assisting to one player?

Spoiler

Aaron Gordon droty

 

[DangDaGawd]

Any word on where some of the undrafted guys are going? I'm interested to see where McAdoo, Jabari Brown, and LaQuinton Ross end up.

Aaron Craft won the NABC, and he wasn't even drafted. Nevertheless, I no longer consider that the "true" DPOY award for College Basketball. That is now the Lefty Driesell Award, and Elfrid Payton was the winner:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NABC_Defensive_Player_of_the_Year

We'll see which one proves more telling as the years go forward.

Well, if the NBA doesn't work out for Craft he will be going to medical school.

 

[Revolver]

Craft is a can. He should focus on med school. I hope Ross has another career in mind since he's a can as well. In fact, OSU produces a bunch of cans in basketball.

Lol at naming your son "LaQuentin"

 

[ChillyPalmer]

LaMarcus
LaSean
LaMichael

 

[Ozymandias]

Apparently I'm the only Sixer fan that likes what they did.

Embiid was the easy pick with Wiggins and Parker gone. The Saric pick is strange because he's going to be playing in Turkey for a few years but our FO liked him.

I really liked the McDaniels and Grant picks as well.

lol that we've reached the point where Quentin by itself isn't explosive enough of a name so we have to ad the prefix "La" to it

 

[ChillyPalmer]

Explosive and athletic folks love adding a La/Le or De/Da to a name.

 

[Ehrmantraut]

Or Ha

My buddy used to work in admissions at his old college. Most explosive name to come through was spelled le-a and it was pronounced Le-dash-a. Absurd.

 

[ChillyPalmer]

Or Ha

That is too explosive.

Even for someone with great fast twitch muscle fibers.

 

[Revolver]

LaMarcus
LaSean
LaMichael

La Blue Eyes and La Shorty

Sounds like chola nicknames. I'm sure Canrona has dated a La Shorty since he lives in Chino.

I don't date cholas, they usually want to do poor things like watch club Leon play at el pescador. I slam white bitches.

Oldest story in the book doge, it's a good one though.

 

[iwhoopedbatman]

WTF? Now Webster is out 3-5 months with back surgery?

First we get nothing out of this illegitimate, asterisk draft (experts agree all of these players should be sent back down and forced to wait until next year), now this bullshit?

If we don't re-sign Ariza and Gortat, my rustlement will know no bounds.

 

[faustian]

It's not a criticism as much as it is an observation, but the explosive community seems to love traditional male names that begin with "D"

Darnell
Darryl
Darius
Dwyne
Derrick
Denzel
Devon
Deron
Donaldo
Demetrius
Donyell
Darren
etc


And if the traditional name doesn't begin with D they'll just add a D to it no questions asked lol

DeShawn
DeMarcus
DeAndre
DeJuan
DeVonte
D'Brickashaw
etc
