I remember another list of players that KD wasn't possibly ever going to be better than.
Just remember this like many other things I've said about the Thunder that came true. Adams will be a top 5-10 center by the end of the 2016 season.
Don't worry, I remember what you said about Maynor, Jackson, Lamp, Jones, Thabeat, Ibaka, Harden, Westbrook, Durant, Adams
I was wrong about Maynor...no question.
Not sure how I'm wrong about any of those other guys especially because I never said Lamb/Jones would be anything special.

He might crack the top 10 just because there aren't a lot of good centers but there is ZERO chance he cracks top 5.
Dwight
Brook
Noah
Hibbert
Nikola
Gasol
Tyson
Drummond
Cousins
Jefferson
I find it hard to believe he's jumping any of those guys....then I'd take guys like Emiid & Kanter over him
Of course its hard to see that based on how much he has played this year and how he played while getting minutes. You need to have some projection in here. The other thing that you guys don't know (quite frankly nobody knows outside of the organziation) is that he has an offensive game that he flashes in practice but that the coaching staff doesn't want to put too much on him yet in his rookie season. Nothing but glowing compliments are said of this kid and the biggest thing is his willingness to be coached coupled with his work ethic. You just don't see many players at his size/strength be that athletic.
Backtracking on those guys? What are you talking about? I've said that I think Lamb/Jones could be starters in this league. Never said they were all stars. Lamb will get 20+ minutes a night consistently next year. YOu can book it. Perry is tougher because the Thunder are so deep that its tough to get playing time but he did a lot of positive things this year when he got the chance. The Thunder are going to say goodbye to Thabo/Butler/Fisher this offseason in all liklihood. Jackson will get more minutes. Lamb will get more minutes and I think Roberson will get more minutes.

Maynor, not right.
Thabeet is a solid backup.
Jackson/Harden/Russ/Ibaka/KD he's been right about.
Lamb is hard to say since he hasnt gotten the playing time. PJ3 shows some potential but its hard for him to get minutes.
You called Harden a "role" player now you and BRule say he's the best SG in the game, which is it?
Harden was a role player when he came up as a lot of rookies are.
I say Harden is one of the best.
Thabeet is a solid backup? He's played 4 mins in the postseason.
Just what I read and see in interviews with the players. Its not a refined game but the building blocks are there. When he starts doing more next year we will talk again.
Thabeat doesn't play because there are 4 guys ahead of him in the depth chart.
BC he sucks.
He isn't good I agree. But to be a 10 minutes a game backup center I think he can fill that role. The 4 guys ahead of him are just better.

And because he ****ing sucks
He's a huge project so hard to tell. Pretty good athlete/rebounder, but looks like a chicken with his head cut off. Minimal offensive game despite defenses focusing on other players. Can block shots, but fouls way too much. Maybe at some point he can become Sam Dalembert.
