Exum has looked the most impressive to me

parker's prob a top 20 college player of the last decade but i can easily see how he could end up closer to luol deng than kevin durant in the nba

Deng at least has a natural position. Parker looks like a total tweener, and the question is whether he'll make it work like Melo has.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 04:30 (ten years ago) link
i dunno he seems like a pretty solid 3 to me
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 04:31 (ten years ago) link
too slow on D
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 04:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah but he's like 6-7 he can't play the 4
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 04:33 (ten years ago) link
yeah that's why he's a tweener! He's a big dude, 240 lb.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 04:33 (ten years ago) link
i mean if he's slow on D he's just slow on D, doesn't make him a tweener
his game is totally how a 3 plays tho
harden rolled his ankle :-(

if you can't guard the position you play on offense it's a classic symptom of being a tweener.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 04:51 (ten years ago) link
well i think the idea of the 3/4 tweener is for a guy like bennett who is basically a small post player
jabari is just a 3 with questions about his athleticism
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 04:53 (ten years ago) link
haven't really watched him play but couldn't he just be a smallball 4? that's where the league is headed anyway. i guess that's melo's best position
― k3vin k., Monday, 16 December 2013 04:54 (ten years ago) link
the league is still a ways away from small ball 4s being a league-wide thing and not an experimental, funky thing imo
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 04:55 (ten years ago) link
how many teams really play small ball 4s consistently
you almost have to discount the heat because lebron is an unprecedented player

But Bennett is clearly a power forward, he's just a small one. He played like one (now he plays like an insane person) and is built like one. Yeah his standing reach is just 8'9 but the idea of him being a small forward was and is nuts.
Then you have guys like Beasley where teams are always trying to figure out which spot to play them in. And there's a lot of similarities between Parker and Beasley.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 05:02 (ten years ago) link
i dunno. jabari's game is pretty different imo. he's not a banger.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 05:04 (ten years ago) link
maybe you could say he's closer to derrick williams, but the idea that derrick williams could be a 4 was ridiculous imo
Beasley was a great rebounder, but he faced up a ton.

good omen
― Clay, Monday, 16 December 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link
one difference is that Parker is a boring mormon guy and Beasley is Beasley
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 16 December 2013 05:17 (ten years ago) link
to me, someone like beasley or even derrick williams are the opposite of parker in the sense that it was about trying to figure out where insane athleticism could fit cohesively into an nba team. with parker on the other hand the question is whether or not his hyper-polished game leaves enough room for improvement as he moves into the nba.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 05:22 (ten years ago) link
nba should send parker to the jazz and wiggins to the raptors, just make it happen
derrick williams was thought of as an insane athlete?
― k3vin k., Monday, 16 December 2013 05:37 (ten years ago) link
maybe not elite but i think on the spectrum of polish <--------------------------> athleticism he was much further towards the right
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 16 December 2013 05:38 (ten years ago) link
u sayin polish ppl arent athletic

On where the nickname "Swaggy P" came from: "I think if you look good, you play good. So you know, the 'Swaggy' starts with how I come in the arena — how I dress, the shoes I wear. The 'P' is a mystery. I can't tell you that right now. I might write a book someday."

"The character Violet is a study in family dysfunction. She has abused herself and her family for 30 years. 'Violet’s Song' is written from her point of view," Dolan tells THR. "Refusing to see the pain in her life, she drives her entire family away with denial and anger that stretches all the way back to her own childhood.”
