That's cool. Ill tell you what--go find me just 1 person who posted as voraciously as I did about Evans including description projection and talent level--not jus this kid is great BS--I mean go back and look at the content of my posts and if you can find 1 person--I will send you two excellent tickets[ to any Knick game. I like BJ Mullens I still do--he's going to take some time to develop--he was a freshmen and isn't ready yet. He's got a lot of skills for a 7 footer and an excellent touch--if he trains hard and stays healthy he will be a very good NBA 5--I'm sure of it.
Yes I say things about more than 1 guy because there are hundreds in each draft. I just started to name names of 2nd rounders and believe me by the end of the year everyone else will also. I never tell anyone what to do--so dont tell me to pipe down--this isnt real GM and you have no say here my man. I don't bother anyone here and most people who post here arent 14YO like real gm.

I don't need any say here to tell you to stop with all the back patting.. but I will call you out on it for sure... you can take shots at some of the guys on realgm, but that is very 14 year oldish briggs.. some of the guys who were dead set on tyreke evans know basketball also briggs..they were as sure about him as you claim you were, they pointed out his college stats broke them down and even went back to his HS gays.... Again, I never said you don't do your homework on some of these guys, but you are not the only one.. You tend to pat yourself on the back but it is funny how you distance yourself from guys you praised that didn't do so well... that is cool, but with praise comes criticism... be willing to accept one with the other....

He asked who liked Tyreke Evans--I responded. If I look back most people wanted Ricky Rubio as their main guy--poster after poster, sprinkled with with some others but Ricky Rubio was by far the most heralded guy --that is just the truth. I said Tyreke ERvans would blow Ricky Rubio's door in--I made a post like that. I know others watch and post about players and make great calls as well--but I don't tell them to pipe down---?????

sorry to bother you bro... my bad, you think I would be used to this by now...

I'm going to remember this thread next year and come back to it to prove to everyone.

Too late, I discovered John Wall at least a week before you posted this. He's mine!!!!!!

i totally agree. if that weren't the case believe you me you'd be hearing me piping up plenty about being the only guy the night we got curry WHO KEPT TELLING EVERYONE THIS GUY SUCKS DON'T GET HIM AT ANY PRICE but you just don't hear me doing it do ya.

I tend not to brag about my hits, only my misses. Sweetney anyone?

He was all over Tyreke, when most here were not.
In a world when most posters are way off on their predictions, Briggs has a pretty good record.

record in what? didn't know this was a contest. I think you will find that a lot of posters have been pretty dead on with who they like.you just don't hear about it...

I said record. Never contest. But since you've made it into one, why don't you stop telling us who
some guy over at Real GM liked in the draft and tell us who you liked.

I liked curry.. I won't deny that, and I like terrance williams(not at pick 8) and I liked earl clark... If evans had slipped, I would have taken him, no doubt, but I knew he would be gone... I will admit. I wasn't as high on tyreke as some other were. I knew he had the size and skill to be a top player from this draft down the road, but as I posted earlier, I was completely wrong as to how soon he would be this good... I have no problem, admitting that... but in this draft, I felt Jordan hill needed another year in college, that is documented, I liked earl clark, and I would have been happy with steph curry at 8.. I can live with that...I also sold flynn short as well... knew he would be good, but not this good, this fast... we have a lot of suprises this year with some of these picks...

LOL.. ok, I am going to be a hypocrite right now, and eff it.. I can't resist. I remember getting into an argument with some of the posters on this board because I didn't want sweetney at all, I called him another clearance weatherspoon... boy was I wrong.. sweetney wasn't even close to being that good.. LOL..

heck, I guess it is not hypocritical, I will admit my mistakes as well... LOL..It happens..
