Understandable with the way he's been playing lately. Taller, longer, better defender, and he can shoot it outside. There's a lot to like.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

it made point of the size and rebounding difference. im not high on randle to begin with but its not like ive watched vonleh play yet so im just going with the scouts

Do you think Aaron Gordon has a great shot at the NBA?

Speaking about last years draft, could Otto Porter be an even bigger bust than Bennett?

yea i thought he was going to be at least a solid starter but honestly its unfair to call both of them busts its 2 early imo.

Yeah I agree, overboard with the term bust.. But I really meant disappointing as rookies. 1st year busts lol.

Who should've the Cavs went with then, looking back. Greek Freak?

Him or Oladipo would have been good fits IMO.

It seems a bit unfair to criticize the Cavs too much for selecting Bennett, considering the alternatives.

Greek Freak was not going #1 so nobody can claim that would have been the better pick

Greek is getting so overhyped at this point anyway

Statistically he isn't that impressive, but if you actually watch him play, he has all the tools to be an All-Star in this league. And I think the fact that most people thought he'd either be in his Division 2 league or the D-League, and is instead playing 30 minutes a game and is holding his own is pretty impressive.

A lot of guys have all the tools to be an All-Star. I'm not down on the kid, I just think people are hyping him a bit too much.

Watching this FSU/Duke game makes me wonder how Wiggins would've faired on the Noles. They play a much looser brand of basketball than KU.

Noel. He's been just as good as Bennett has and he hasn't played a game this year.

This is why teams continue to suck, because they make awful decisions like this on draft day.

He'd be the main focal point of the offense and would have better numbers than at KU. For the most part Bill Self runs his offense in the paint and focuses on big men.
