California Classic Game 3 Kings vs Lakers 7/3/19

Gotta love how a newbie who rarely posts managed to do a drive-by troll comment about "Kangz" stuff and some of you bit on it.

Once again, I just have to point out that De'Aaron taking over a game literally the second he said something about De'Aaron not taking over games remains one of the more impressive moments of last season.

I hope you made that up. Otherwise, I find it more brutal that you actually took the time to research all that.

Click on the words "over 200 players" in my original post, and you can see the list for yourself.

Justin James is going to be a baller for the Kings. He’s going to be very similar to another Wyoming great Larry Nance Jr. He’s going to find his place on the roster, and do a bunch of little things that don’t necessarily stand out, until you look at the stat sheet at the end of the night. He’s a great, versatile all around player

I stand corrected. Whomever researched that needs help!

Naturally, I agree with you about the rarity of a Nash situation. But the point was, if a lottery pick could take a while to develop and eventually did — then so could anyone. Especially a 2nd round pick coming in without the same fanfare or lofty expectations.

In short, fans expect too much right away. Just because a player doesn’t look much like one right away doesn’t mean they won’t be one. I fully remember Dirk Nowitzki not looking like much of a player his 1st season and he was a top 10 pick.

Yeah on ESPN this morning they must have had someone on there that worked in the Jazz front office years ago because he said years ago he got a call from the GM after after summer league and he said "I think I just drafted a bust" after watching how horrible Derrick Favors looked during the summer.
