...... Copeland and Rudez suck. LeVert is a stud who can actually do something more than just shoot the ball. 

Quality observation….
Copeland and Rudez fit they role they brought in to play. I guess I shouldn't go into specific for someone who stoops to only saying "they suck" when analyzing a player's game….

Neither one is any good at anything besides shooting the ball, they suck at passing, they suck at rebounding, they suck at handling the ball, and they suck defensively. Copeland couldn't even see the court last season because of this stuff. Point is LeVert brings a ton more to the table than either one of them.

look DEEPLY NCAA! Lots to find!

 

Skal's guardian (Hamilton) said this in his most recent interview...

"“We had conversations with Kentucky, and we shared everything that we thought might be a possibility of being a conflict with the NCAA,” Hamilton said. “And I’m pretty sure they were confident. They were like, ‘Is that all?!’ I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s it.’ They were like, ‘Well, whatever.’ I just got the vibe that, ‘Hey, you don’t have anything to worry about it.’

Reminds me of something I saw on a Purdue forum several years ago when Purdue and Illinois both had NCAA tournament games in Portland. An Illinois fan said they needed to cheer for each other because they would both have tough games in the second round. Illinois got knocked off in the first round and was done before Purdue had its first game.

Yeah LeVert has played so far against a bunch of cupcakes. I agree LeVert has a better overall game then Rudez and Copeland (both of whom can easily outshoot LeVert). But there is no way the Pacers take him

How exactly is there no way the Pacers would take him. Our wing position sucks outside of PG and Solo going forward.  Also, your comment that LeVert has only played against cupcakes is laughable at best, he put up numbers last year on a Michigan team that actually did something. Not to mention they beat Syracuse who is arguably just as good as anyone IU has played this year. Oh and he put up 16, 6, and 3 against Villanova who is way better than IU has played this year. Yeah, cupcakes.....

 

LeVert is shooting 50% from three so far this year. And again is turning the ball over on only 10% of the possessions he is using, which is on par with his averages in previous years.

The Pacers have bigger needs at other positions. Simple as that. 

Im not going to argue basketball logic with someone who analyzes players as "uhhh they suck" haha conversation over

Before you got a chance to edit your comment your entire argument to my post was "Pacers have bigger needs at other positions. Simple as that" The you turn around and criticize one of my comments. That makes sense. Also, I think it is funny you keep trying to say you get the last word by saying the conversation is over, then responding again. 

 

Second you said they need a back up big, why? Mahimi is one of the best back up 5's in the league, and Allen has proven to be able to do a lot off the bench this year. Point guard is arguable. The Pacers lack talent more than anything else. LeVert upgrades the talent on the roster and presents someone who can distribute the ball while turning the ball over at a low rate, which alleviates some of the point guard issues. You've yet to actually say why they'd never draft a wing, instead making snide ass comments back

I apologize if you were offended but at the same time that you complain that Im criticizing your comments when you were the first one to throw my comment about their wing depth under the bus. Don't complain that Im being unfair if you are doing the same thing there partner. I was just trying to have a conversation about the Pacers. I did say why I thought they'd go after somewhere else. They need a better backup big and a better point. Mahimi is a good defensive backup but is a black hole on offense. West is gone is a year or so and Lavoy Allen isn't an NBA starter. They need a playmaker on offense. Someone to set people up and not think shot first. George Hill is more of an undersized 2 guard.  I know you already have your mind made up with Levert. I wouldn't mind if he fell to the Pacers but it just doesn't seem like a smart move when they have other needs. Just my opinion. No big deal

Haas started tonight for the toilet makers over AJ.

Seams slow of foot but man is that dude big.Pretty good around the basket also.

I know, so i will just say it to save some one else a post.Who Cares! :picknose:

 

Probably says more about AJ than it does Haas.

 

AJ really plays when he wants to---which isn't very often.

 

The Ospreys didn't find either one of them to be that intimidating!  :biggrin:
