Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
I think Wall is in the same branch as Rose, so if Rose can close, Wall can close. He just needs to expand his range.Comment

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
Rose has gotten a dependable mid-range game and a respectable outside shot. Wall was statistically the worst shooting PG in the league I believe. Wall is more of an athletic point guard. Rose is more of a do-it-all kinda guy.NFL: Bills

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
I agree with you there. I do believe Wall can do it all as well but his jump shot is horrible. I don't remember but wasn't Rose's shot pretty bad at the start?Comment

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
The first year it wasn't very good, but he improved a lot quickly, and it was better from the git-go than Wall's. Wall has awful footwork when he's shooting and I think he might palm the ball too (which I suspect is one of the reasons Royce White is such an awful shooter too).NFL: Bills

Rose had a bad jumper, but then spent the summer before his MVP season shooting three's for what I heard was 30 minutes everyday to improve.Chicago Bulls

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
My boy Wall going to get it together...he has the work ethic to,. just need to stay out of them streetball games...plus I think with him going over to play the USA team as being part of the select team will mature his game...Ariza who saw his shot a couple weeks ago said his shot look ten times better as it did towards the end of the year.Washington Redskins

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
Yeah, I think Wall easily has potential to be better than Rose. I think he's naturally a better passer and defender, and if he makes decent strides in his jumper then he can be just as good as Rose is offensively.
At this point I think it will come down to surrounding him with more mature and talented players and getting rid of the headcases like they already have with Arenas, McGee, Young, and probably Blatche.Chicago Bulls

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
A Irving-Beal backcourt could potentially be great, but I dont want us to trade 4th and 24th to move up 2 spots, especially when MKG/Barnes or Drummond could be their at 4. All of them would help the Cavs in a certain way. If CHA wants to draft Barnes or Robinson, give them 4th and a 2nd rounder, but dont trade 3 picks for one.Comment

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
I think Barnes will be one of a few players that will be able to come in and produce right away. I think he has the skillset to immediately help the Wizards or any other crappy team that needs a scoring injection from the wing. This is the reason I don't want MKG (waits for UK fans to come in and sing his praises). We don't need another bad perimeter shooter or even someone who is great 1 v 1. Wall will have the ball in his hand the majority of the game.
I think SOME people are still killing Barnes for what he was supposed to be as opposed to the positive things he can do.
Beal should be Plan A, B and C(hyperbole here)and if he's not there then they're better off trading down because while you probably won't find another player like Beal, you'll have a better chance finding another player like Barnes later on in the Draft.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion
Trust me and DON'T ride on Ariza coming in and producing for your team. After watching him for the last few seasons I noted that he is more of a defensive, explosive presence. Jump shot isn't that great no much he claims it has gotten better and he shouldn't be a starter. Unless a team thinks he has Thabo Sefolosha level defense (WHICH HE DOESNT) he shouldn't start. MKG will be 101% better than Ariza could dream.
Is his shot really that horrible? I don't think I've ever seen him play one game and all of my opinions on Wroten come directly from seen scouting/highlight/breakdown videos...Originally posted by slickdtcI'd ride his bus, that's all I'm saying.
