you are right killa...there were people pretty much garunteeing he will be an all star this year...now they are nowhere to be seen.
I'm not into digging up old posts, but one thing is for sure, they are all singing a different tune now...how can nyk4ever try to say a center that is older than most college grads taken first in the draft is not expected to make a major impact asap.
That's just absurd.
You guys better man up now before bonn or I start digging up old posts (fishy...you gonna man up?)
no doubt
Age has nothing to do with this. It makes no difference how old you are if you've never played a game in the NBA. Sure staying in college helps kids becuase they learn how to play the game RIGHT, but Bogut was in college 2 years, he's from Australia and had to adjust to American style of play. When he did adjust which happened at the end of his freshman year and went to the end of this last college season. He didn't just play well he dominated the game with his fundamentals. Bogut is a different kind of player then all those centers that have been drafted at #1 before. Bogut is a throwback, he doesnt rely on power and athleticism, he relies on fundamentals which is refreshing, this is why alot of people don't know/like him, because he isn't flashy. I saw a poster on this forum yesterday trying to back up Jamal Crawford being a good player becuase he can throw a pass off the backboard to himself and dunk it. Too me thats absurd. Midway through this year you will see why Bogut was picked #1, I'm not going to be surprised if he takes sometime to adjust to the NBA becuase all rookies do.
I'm tired of hearing this "manup" crap. I come on this board, I state my view and I go with it. I came on here in January before 90% of this board even knew who Bogut was and stated my view and 10 months later and I'm not kiltering, Bogut will be a dominant player in the NBA. I also stated my view about Channing Frye before the draft and I said I wanted nothing to do with him becuase as it stood he in no way fit the Knicks offense, I said if the Knicks change to a more running offense then Channing Frye is the way to go. Well guess what 5 months later the Knicks have a new offense and Channing Frye is showing why Isiah picked him. I'm not trying to blow myself up here, I'm telling you that I'm going to manup.
I'm just on here to try and kick some knowledge.
Unlike you RV, I can come on here and spread some good basketball knowledge. The only thing I've seen you do is rehas information that other people post and run with it. So if you wanna try and tell me that I'm not "manning up" go ahead, it doesnt mean much coming from you.
