I would welcome that. I was opposed to kicking in any type of pick. And yeah, generally when it says "random thought", it's not a genuine rumor with steam  |

So what is with the Blazers fans and front office's love for Batum? I just don't see what's so special about the guy. Deng fuckin' DESTROYED him earlier in the season (40 pts on 14-19 from the field).
Someone enlighten me because I spent some time with a few Blazers nuts the other night and they were suckin' the guy off or something

Someone enlighten me because I spent some time with a few Blazers nuts the other night and they were suckin' the guy off or something whenever a kid is considered "raw, but has a lot of potential", fans suck his left nut. But Batum has been "raw" for a few seasons now. I agree, what gives? |

I was high on Batum in his first year, but he really hasnt done anything to make anyone think hes going to become the next Bruce Bowen/Ron Artest shutdown player he was touted as

Mauer should be suspended for this. I've been a fan of the sport for 25 years and I've NEVER seen someone go THAT technical crazy. Reminds me of Billy Crystal's character in "Forget Paris"...
Go to about 3:15 on that 2nd clip. Kinda funny that it includes Rambis and Laimbeer there too.

Man, perfect comparison there. And then the fact that Mauer didn't call a couple fouls on Blair is even worse!

DeMar DeRozan is budding. BIGTIME. But I can't think of ANY player that he reminds me of! Wicked mid-range jumper, no 3 point shot, drives to the hoop with tenacity, great ball handler, bad passer... Awesome defense for a sophomore..
Any comparisons come to mind??

Awesome defense for a sophomore.. Any comparisons come to mind?? A young Jim Jackson? That's a pretty good comparison, Jackson was still a pretty decent passer and 3 point shooter though... When I say zero 3 pt shot, I mean 2 for 22 on the year  I hate to do it, but a lot of people are comparing him to Kobe when he first entered the league with his athleticism and midrange shot. If DeMar works on his 3 pt shooting, I think he could be an all-star type scorer for sure. He already has what every other all-star 2 guard has - midrange game and the ability to get to the line in mass quantities... Could it be far off? DeMar DeRozan 2nd Year Stats: 14.6 pts 3.4 rebs 1.7 asts 1.7 TOs .7 stls .4 blks 5.4 FGM 11.6 FGA 46.9% 3.7 FTA 4.9 FTM 75.6% Kobe Bryant 2nd Year Stats: 15.4 pts 3.1 rebs 2.5 asts 2.0 TOs .9 stls .5 blks 5.0 FGM 11.6 FGA 42.8% 4.6 FTM 5.8 FTA 79.4% Pretty similar. Especially the Free throw situation, and the A/TO ratios. Scoring, rebounding... all very similar. |

Derozan is really starting to come into his own, but its hard to compare him to anyone. Reminds me slightly of a young Kobe, but I can't see him getting to a Kobe level. He really doesnt have the demeanor of an alpha dog like Kobe, he rarely demands the ball. His handle needs some improvment, and his passing needs a lot if he hopes to ever get to that level.

Well remember, the dude has Bargnani next to him take 15-20 shots a game. Not to mention the fact that DeRozan is still 19 or 20 years old. He's going to be a 20 PPG guy, maybe not a Kobe, but a very reliable scorer. Maybe a young Vince Carter with less of a 3 point shot.

Carter was insane in Toronto for a while there. Dunno if he'll get to that point. And he's 21 btw |

No doubt, Carter was crazy early on. VC-lite, and a better defensive player than Carter was it seems....then again, Carter has never been a real defensive beast.

Carter was insane in Toronto for a while there. Dunno if he'll get to that point. And he's 21 btw God Carter was insane man. 2000-2001 VC peaked, and fell all in one year. The MVP race, the shootout with AI, game 7 EC Semi's... His best year, and his only great year. I wouldn't be upset if he turned out similar to VC, I just hope he doesn't lose that tenacity getting to the rim man. DD is crazy about hitting the floor and getting to the hole, something you can't CAN'T teach. I don't think DD will be a Kobe type either, but he'll definitely be an allstar someday. We might have to go back a couple generations to find a good comparison for him, because he's definitely an old school player. Dr. J? You can't put it past him, he's athletic, aggressive, a solid jumper - Disregarding everything else (rebounds, assists, steals and blocks) look at the percentages and attempts...DD plays very, very similar to Dr. J: www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/ervinju01.html |

I love the way DeRozan plays, and if he can improve is 3 point shot at the pace Rose has in one summer, he will be a very frightening player but I still wouldnt put him anywhere near Kobe or Dr. J, a good potentially great scorer in the future but i dont know if he has the "clutch gene" as Skip Bayless calls it that Kobe has an Dr. J had earlier in his career.
