Thought this was interesting. I know a few don't like David Thorpe, but he has McLemore as one of his 3 early ROY canditates with Oladipo and Zeller.

Haha.
And yes, David Thorpe is flat out dishonest.
The best thing that can said for a mention like this is just if the class is as weak as expected, you might be able to win it averaging 12ppg. Far more likely given that its Thorpe is either he predicted Mac would win it before the draft, or he worked with him in a camp, or just whatever would cause him to play favorites per usual.

Nope, he hasn't worked with him and I believe this is his first rookie report.
I don't know whether Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to be any good, but I know that ABC has a ton of faith in it, because it's making its debut head-to-head against NCIS. Going straight at the biggest dog in the yard takes some onions.

I don't think he's going to start, and he in particular has some refining to do. Don't see him in the mix, although would be pleasantly surprised to see otherwise

I'm not sure Americans are in love with "Agent Coulson" enough for him to have a spin-off show on his own. It's sad but this fall is filled with predictable and/or spin-offs, just like its Hollywood movie counterpart.

While I LOVE Joss Wheadon's work out side of Buffy he has hard time keeping a show on the air... I still miss Firefly!

That was the comparison I was thinking of, but I doubt even that's in the cards here.
Set your DVR to record the Science channel starting Sunday morning early. They're having a Firefly marathon. And they're also going to do the same for The Doll House starting tonight or tomorrow morning.

Well, I hardly consider myself the American Spokesman, but I don't know anyone who doesn't love Agent Coulson.
Look at it this way: at least it's not on NBC (or, god forbid, FOX).
Wait... Didn't Agent Coulson...well...die?

At the risk of speaking heresy, with a show that opens strong, sometimes the kindest thing a network can do is kill it before it turns into a parody of itself. Fox killing Firefly may have been the best thing that could have happened to it from a creative point of view.
But back on topic, out of the rookies drafted, maybe 5 break a starting lineup and of those only 2 will get any significant minutes. In all seriousness, McCallum could win it if coach Malone decides he needs some defense out of his point guard.

Oh no I agree with you. I'm just questioning if the love for him can sustain more than a season. They aren't gonna have any of the Avengers superheroes in the show so it's really gonna bank on Agent Coulson.

No self respecting Sify/Fantasy verse ever let the death of a character stop them from bringing him back...
With all due respect to you and the OP, it's impossible to take a topic like this seriously in July.

Please split or move this to the lounge. I'm surprised the moderators are taking part in mocking the OP.

lets be honest, no television show competes with Dexter.

I felt that way for a while. Nothing was even close, until I got into Breaking Bad.
But yeah, nothing competes with those two, and I give the edge to Dexter, only becayse they have similar themes, and it came first.

I'm with TSA. Can I assume that threads will not be ended prematurely, subjects meticulously split to suit a mod's whims, etc. just because a few people don't take the subject matter seriously and it is TDOS? I have read "don't read it" if a thread is boring. Maybe those in power should do that very same thing. I suspect one thread could survive without moderation.

The Wire? Game of Thrones? Six Feet Under? Boardwalk Empire? not saying those are all better than the two shows you've mentioned, but they're all very clearly in the same league.
I dunno Glenn. This board has always had its moments of quirky levity during TDOS. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it. As much as we complain about repetitive and circuitous arguments, this is a pleasant change. It's like someone spiked mom's peach lemonade.

Think Zeller or Alex Len(If Gortat is indeed traded) are in the best situation.
My money is on Zeller.
Maybe even Michael Carter Williams, assuming the trend of ignoring TO's, FG% and general efficiency etc continues and only raw pts/assists/rebs/steals count.
