 Did any of you find them as disgusting as I did as I watched the draft last night?  Some of them were downright horrible.  Jaylen Brown to Tyreke Evans, Marquis Chriss to Rashard Lewis, man they were brutal.  

Just want to know if I am the only one that almost threw up a few times when he made his comparisons.

 can see the j brown to riq! People forget that before he declined he averaged 20,5 and5 as a rookie, which says a lot about what he did because he is still good! Riq could not shoot as well and attacked the rim and was a capable passer like brown

 I tend to feel that way about anything on ESPN…. ALSO I know this is a small thing to most people, but am I the only one who was pissed that they kept neglecting to show the iconic handshake with the commisoner for like the first 7 picks? They were too busy trying to argue and discuss stuff… I know its pretty much impossible, but can’t TNT show the draft next year, atleast that would’ve been entertaining…

 

but yea Jalen’s comps were terribad.. sorry for going wayyy off topic there

He did the same thing last year. On top of that, he kept not listening and failed to comprehend that certain players had been traded. It took them saying it at least three times before he understood that Taurean Prince was headed to Atlanta instead of Utah. It would be forgivable if Jalen didn’t do things like this all of the time.

 Or when he said deyonta Davis shouldn’t be upset about falling to the second round because he was going to a good situation in Boston. It literally just been announced 30 seconds before that the pick had been traded to Memphis.

 They were bad but I feel like they’re not as bad as they used to be.

Most were horrible but I thought the Denzel Valentine- Michael ray Richardson comp was kind of interesting. I would’ve never thought of that but I could sort of see Valentine as a modern day version of Richardson. Probably won’t be as good as Richardson was in his prime but there are similarities there.

I couldnt believe how he could compare Brown, who averaged 2 assists a game to a player like Tyreke. Sure they both are around the same height and build, but Tyreke has the handle and vision(when he decides to) of a Point Guard. I’ve always been a big Jalen hater, i find him clueless. 2 years ago on Bill Simmons NBA team rankings he called Demar Derozen a good 3 point shooter.So I really shouldnt be too suprised.

 lol sounds like Jalen gets all his stuff from NBA 2k… what

 There are no perfect comparisons. He was asked to do an impossible task, as every player is unique, and every fan (especially here) is gonna crucify him for them since foe some reason player comps are some exposed nerve for people here.

 criticism —- it means the man understands how to Develop & produce a Narrative

& the Human brain Responds to a Narrative —– the NBA Draft & All the coverage is a Big ratings Bonanza

So what are they going to do — come out & say sorry Viewers, the 2016 NBA Draft is Ass??? —- Of course Not

So they engage in Hyperbole —— & if we are Honest – that is what we as fans Want

I do Not want to hear that it’ll be 3 years before Jaylan Brown gets on the court for the Celtics if I’m a Celtics fan

I don’t want to hear that Buddy Hield is probably a Role player at best in the NBA

Or that Dragan Bender is a Project at best

I’ve watched Kriss Dunn for 4 years at Providence & I luv the kid’s personal story but I know damn well this kid is Not an All Star level talent 

At best Dunn is a Starter in the NBA —- that is his Ceiling! —- & these guys were comparing him to Dwayne Wade & Jay Williams was claiming that the Lakers should Draft Dunn over Brandon Ingram—- WTF!?!?!? But if I’m a T-Wolves fan I Luv it!

And when my team is on the clock & they pick I must admit that I do LUV to be Lied to about the guy’s potential
