I will start by saying don't laugh.  I know my talent.  I would have taken guys like Colin Kaepernick or Demarcus Cousins #1 over fakers like Wall or Scam Newton.  I know pros and when you combine being a student of the game with elite size and talent, it's very easy to project a solid player.

Frank Kaminsky is the most entertaining big man I've seen play basketball since Andrew Bogut at the college level.  He has a feel for the game that is unmatched.  This is a guy just now growing in to his body and is improving by leaps and bounds.  As long as he doesn't have injury problems you are looking at the next dirk nowitzki.

Wall a faker?  I thought your title was a joke but calling Wall a faker?  What owner/GM wouldn't start their franchise with Wall?  He's really the only top young PG that plays defence --- this is silly

Wall is a head case.  I guess you missed that kings choke job...or that time he got DESTROYED last year by little john lucas 3?

 

If im the sixers I am salivating at pairing Nerlens Noel and Kaminsky the new twin towers

"So, we have the first overall pick; should we take Andrew Wiggins or a Frank Kaminsky?"  Kaminsky had a great tourney but is he even a first round pick?

Andrew wiggins is another joke. if everyone wasn't telling you he was so great would you even think hes a lottery pick?  The only one you can make a case for is Parker, who is also a fine player

Do you watch these guys play or are you just spewing?  Wiggins is a crazy talent that has a complete offensive game and can play crazy defence too --- anyway, I guess all scouts/GMs/coaches must be wrong

I do watch these games way past more than I can remember at this point.  My argument is in the NBA game wiggins is nothing special.  A dime a dozen wing player that you can pick up off the street in free agency for the same price you pay for a #1 pick.  Big men who suck get big contracts because its supply and demand son.  You take the best big men in this draft and it's big frank unless you think parker can really play the 4

there's upside to frank.  hes reminiscent of a true polished 4 year starter the way he was banging shots from all over the place and playing defense.

Wiggins is overrated .. But Kaminsky is slow and can't jump. WOULD surprise me if he does anything in the NBA!

Cant have it BOTH ways.

Deron Williams got destroyed by Jeremy Lin two years ago.

It happens to the best of them.

I'm UCLA's biggest fan on this board and even I can tell you that's crazy. I like Anderson a lot, he has a super high skill level, but I'll eat my shoe if he is drafted in the lottery.

Please please have someone bump this thread in 5 years... PLEASE!!!

One of the most ridiculous threads ive ever read.   Might not even matter though because I think he will stay in college another year.

  Parker couldn't guard you, and on offense all he does is stand around the 3 line hoping to shoot a jump shot.  Totally overrated.  That's why he might announce tonight he is staying.

Original poster not too fond of black people...... simple. 


I think Kaminsky will be a solid pro in the NBA though.... possibly an all star too with a lot of work, development, playing in the right system, and steroids. . Kid is much more athletic and finessed than it appears..... problem is we need to see if he can play defense in the NBA.... Same thing with McDermot..... no doubt on the offensive side this kid will be a beast... probably an easy double digit scorer in the NBA.... can he guard though?

How dare you bring up race man.  Are you kidding me...At least go after someone that's actually racist.  If that's your only argument it shows that Frank is probably the pick, since if you go by basketball, there is not really a bad thing you can say about the guy.  Is Jabari Parker black?  Cause I think he's pretty good you know.   These other players are chumps in this draft.  I know they are just kids and nothing near where they can potentially be but get lost with wiggins or randle.  Cleananthony Early would be a better pick
