    You seriously think Draymond is that good?

    He's not in the Top 20 in points
    and barely in 10th in rebounds

    Randle is 17th in boards already and getting better by the game
    Only a matter of time before he passes Green

    I really do. He can do everything, including guarding almost any position on the floor.

    He's good. But we're going to agree to disagree in this one.

    I don't see Green as so much of a 'game changer' unlike many others in the Top 10

    Green does what he does on the offensive side because he has shooters all over the floor giving him space to work. On the defensive side he had guys like Bogut, Festus, Barnes etc cleaning up any mistakes. And make no mistake, he plays dirty.

    Still a great player but would be meh on any other team that doesn't have scorers around. We'll also see if the lack of size on GS this year will affect his numbers.

    I'll still take Randle because his potential is just beginning to take shape.

    Yeah Green is a great complementary piece, Julius has potential to be a centerpiece
    The comparison comes for various reasons, but all in all, Julius has always been among the very best players in the country in his age group and he literally has 3 or 4 inches on Green [no homo] and is much more physical

    We're all guilty of the Julius/Draymond comparison
    What I ultimately see is scary to even say or type
    If you squint your eyes Julius looks almost like Lebron out there
    Both about 6'9" 250260 handling the ball a lot, both physical, Julius maybe even more physical
    Lebron faster and more athletic of course, defending guards more
    Julius with another big assist game today, 8 of them, he's dropping dimes and showing flashes, its crazy

    And to think he missed a full year too. Where would he have been with another year under his belt?

    This is crazy. Cant believe how well they're playing. For the first time in 3 years I'm excited about every game.

    Under the circumstances, I believe the year off helped him.
    Even with the injury and recovery he was able to work out a lot more than he would have been if he were traveling all the time with the team and dealing with the rigors of a long season.
    They usually use the off-season to try and transform their physique, he got to use the season.
    I guess it was basically a red-shirt year that got him better prepared.
    Plus, Lakers took that extra time to fix his foot as well and so that added time.
    I think it all helped, he's always had solid foot-work, but after the surgery and working hard to get back they look even better now, the power and balance come from the base and like Luke said - Julius is a monster, he can move anybody

    Big " future " game
    Locked in for this one, tough road/back to backer, 3rd game in 4 nights..LAL can prove a lot with a W today, their depth could prove especially useful.
    Hopefully Ingram's ankle isn't too bad

    Came out a step slow tonight, still playing hard, but doesn't look good
    Wolves' color guy accidentally calls Wiggins " Niggins "..racist.
    Adrien fuckin Payne making 3's now, made himself millions adding that shot
    14pt deficit right before the 4th, not impossible to come back

    Towns 3 ball from the corner, KO blow
    6-5..unless somethin crazy happens, can't stop Wiggins in the pick and roll tonight so its done more than likely
    Wiggins so impressive, might get 50pts, grown so much since Kansas where he wasn't aggressive

    thats a tough team esp at home
    we didn't play well but battled back
    love the attitude that was still there even when things weren't working out

    Towns gave Mozzy the business.
    Smooth.
    Mozzy was in full Dale Davis VS Shaq mode Lol
    Towns is just off the charts.
    That team scares me future wise
    Watching Wiggins and seeing how much ground Ingram has to make up is pretty scary

    We'll have some of those games, like I said earlier if we pull .500 this year I'll be completely overjoyed.
