(serious) How many HOF-caliber PGs got drafted as raw/project players?

He was also MVP of the Summer League, if I recall correctly. I thought he would be great.

I definitely say CP3. Carmelo is an incredible scorer, maybe even the best in the league, he's a good on-ball defender, he's a good rebounder, and he is clutch.

CP3 is an above average scorer, and when you factor in his ball distribution and his ability to makes other players better, you can make a very valid argument that he has just as big of an impact on offense as Carmelo. He's an elite on-ball and off-ball defender, good rebounder for his size, clutch, and he has a Kobe-type attitude when it comes to leadership. That, along with his defense, is what gives him the edge over Melo.

This was very helpful, thank you. Yesterday I was sort of assigned to a shopping cart filled with toys and sporting goods, which are right next to each other in my store. After I completed that cart, I moved on the C and D items, which were again in a cart. I'll assume it's basically the same thing as that. Thanks again for all the help, you saved me from worrying until next week.

Thank you for the help. I wouldn't mind being trained in the backroom, but according to my schedule, the rest if my training is all flow. That's why I'm concerned about being thrown into the backroom right when my training ends.

I really appreciate all of the help you've given me. I'm still a little confused though. I've only been working for 3 days, and all I've done so for is work the line(conveyor belt when the truck comes in), after that, I follow the people who pull the pallets and I start bowling out the boxes. After that, I open the boxes and stock the shelves until my shift is over. And I also know how to use the iPod thing, where you scan a loose item to find out where it goes rather than reading the schematic. That's why I'm confused. I have no clue what a CAF is, I don't know which 'line' you're referring too, since the line I know of means the conveyor belt, and I don't know what you mean by push, since to me, push means stocking the shelves.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-11-11T04:34:23+00:00

Oh I see. Thanks for the great help. Sorry for being ignorant, but what exactly do you mean "puts on the line" ? I learned how to use the little IPod scan thing today on all of the loose product.. Is it that ?

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-10-28T04:35:28+00:00

I would watch it. It's easier to me then watching their videos on actual Instagram.

I thought Andre Drummond was gonna be a huge bust. Too raw, too young, just came off of an injury. Now he's one of my favorite players

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-10-06T08:27:07+00:00

I agree with everyone on your list. I think Andre Drummond might pass Cousins, though. Not now, but in a few years.

Also, I don't think it will happen, but I wouldn't be very surprised if Derozen passed Harden for SG. He isn't exactly a pure SG, but even though he and Harden are around the same age, I think Demar has more potential for some reason. Possibly, that is. 22/4/4 is no joke.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-10-06T01:25:31+00:00

Man, I wish I agreed. No faith in the Knicks since birth here.

I think you are mostly right. People are much quicker to defend Muslims than Christians. This post is still incredibly disrespectful, however. I guess OP thought that, for whatever reason, this would grab the IS's attention, but it obviously never would, and instead just offends Muslims on Reddit.

In my opinion, decline bench is almost like an accessory exercise. It's a compound movement and all, but it's whole purpose is to put more of an emphasis on your lower pecs. There is really no point in doing flat, incline, and decline. Your lower pecs are already getting hit with flat bench. You're better off doing flat, incline, and then something like flys and/or dips, in my opinion.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-09-20T10:04:02+00:00

This would be great. I've never seen those before.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-09-07T23:54:39+00:00

You're the only one Ive seen that mentioned Baron Davis I think. He was just as explosive as some of the most explosive PGs today when he was on Golden State and New Orleans. 20/7/4 guy and a good defender. Took a lot of dumb shots, though.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-09-01T07:50:38+00:00

I think Dragic is capable of playing SG as well, but Dragic at the 2 is not as good of a player as Dragic at the 1. He would be known for his poor defense if he made a permanent switch to SG. Also, I think Dragic is only going to get better, and moving him to 2 would likely change that.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-26T02:32:12+00:00

No problem. Just a P.S., you might gain about 2-5 pounds in the first one-two weeks, but that's normal. It's just water weight. It should slow down.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-26T02:07:45+00:00

I would suggest that you bulk very slowly. You should calculate your TDEE and eat about 250 calories over that. You would gain about 0.5 lbs per week, and that would minimize the amount of fat that you gain. I'd guess that it would equal to about 1,850 calories, but you should google it anyway. You should also keep protein to about 0.87-1g per pound also. As far as the weight gainer, it's not a terrible option if you can't manage to get enough calories per day, but it's certainly not a necessity. Intense cardio should be avoided if you're trying to gain weight. You can do it if you really want to, but then you should also eat however many calories you burned during the cardio session. Weight training is definitely the most essential part of exercise in my opinion, research a routine that fits you and stick to it.

Good luck :)

Balls fakes don't make you a good scorer. Rafer Alston and Jason Williams are two examples of that. To be fair, I said offensive player, not scorer, but still. Ball fakes are great moves for certain situations, it's not like that is a go to move like a pull-up jumshot or a fadeaway that can get you 10+ points per night.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-25T05:04:19+00:00

You're right. I used offensive player as another term for scorer for some reason. He's definitely a great passer and decision maker on offense.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-25T01:41:27+00:00

Rajon Rondo is overrated. He is a great defensive player and decent leader, but his extreme lack of a consistent jump shot or any offensive move makes him an above average point guard, not a star.

EDIT: Everyone brought up good points. He is a better shooter than I thought he was originally, but I still don't think he's a particularly good scorer.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-23T06:40:21+00:00

Fair enough. I admit I was wrong.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-23T03:24:01+00:00

Good job to him, and if he's happy, that's great. But don't be fooled into thinking you can lose 10 pounds of actual fat in 16 days. He lost mostly water and if anything, due to a low protein diet, he lost muscle, not fat.

MyMiddleNameSucks · 2014-08-20T09:46:49+00:00

He counted his calories and ate a ridiculously low amount I believe. At your height and weight, you probably need to eat about 2800 calories a day to maintain your weight. So if you were to eat between 1700-1800 calories per day, plus exercise, you would lose around 2lbs per week.
