Denver has some quality young pieces in Murray, Mudiay, Harris, and Jokic all 22 and under. Jokic is the best player nobody talks about. All star imo. Just needs more minutes.
Add in Barton, Faried, and vets chandler and Danilo (assuming healthy) and that's a nice roster for Lydon to join.
They'll push for a playoff spot.
Shocked Lebron isn't there. Must be shooting?Jokic is an incredible offensive player. The defense can use a little work though.
Per 100 possessions, Jokic averaged 29-17-8 on a 64% true shooting. I love messing around with the basketball-reference season finder, if you lower it to 25-12-5 with 58% true shooting. There have been 27 seasons that meet those criteria in NBA history.
Kareem x3
Freak
Barkley x8
Larry bird twice
Brad Daugherty twice
Blake
Kevin Love
KG twice
Karl Malone x3
Detlef Schrempf
Tom Owens (?)
Pretty good list.
And just for some perspective, on that list, Jokic ranks first in assists, third in true shooting, 4th in rebounding, and 20th in points. So it's not like he's scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

You haven't and a few others haven't either
Ineffective for large stretches too. Man the blinders some people put on...That fat out of shape bastard only played 11 straight games of 40+ minutes too.
Quite possible. If the coaches had to bet on it, i bet they would say Yes. If Marek stays two years, Which is unlikely, he will be a lottery pick. Only time will tell.Don't worry. Marek will be better!

He also quietly played through injury for a good portion of the season. What a horrible guy.Ineffective at what? Being the go to scorer?
The rest of his game was pretty much always there. Always hit the boards, battled on D, and didn't do stupid/selfish stuff.

I haven't what?
The fun thing about this site is the search feature. You haven't said since day one he would be a first round pick.
Um yes I have, scroll through this site, you will find it, in this thread alone I said he would go 26th, two spots away from where he actually went.
That was March, right after he announced, we all overreacted to him declaring, look after that, I have said all along he would be a first round pick
I'm not saying you can't change your mind lol. I'm just saying that's why people always call for you because you initially said he wasn't a 1st rounder.
Ive said 100 times in here he would be, I said it wasn't a lock, and I wouldn't bet the house on it, but he would be, and my final prediction was 26th.
Correct. The point was that IF he had a chance to slide to the 2nd round, his decision didn't make sense. Not saying I agree or disagree, but that was his point, as I recall. The crap he has taken here is ridiculous....he also said that since that he was not a lock as a first rounder it was a bad / terrible decision that he was making to enter. (totally ignoring the other factors that come into the decision to enter beyond draft position)
Of course it made sense. He was never going to go higher than if he had left after the FF. Each year in college would lessen his value to the NBA.Correct.

If you want to ridicule him, remember he's a Cowboy fan.
