Please don’t comment on anything unless you can get the names right. Anthony Jones, tutus Thomas and drummand didn’t get drafted anywhere let alone in the NBA. Probably because they don’t exist. At least cut and paste if you cant spell the names right.

Jeremy Lamb (6’5” shooting guard, Connecticut):.. he shot 60 percent last season in college. ”
_______________________________________

Except he didn’t shoot 60%. Real stats were 48% from the floor, 34% from three.

Anthony jones. Can’t score enough to be a star in this league. Remind me of tutus Thomas.
Thomas Robinson. Not tall enough to be a power forward in the NBA. Looked overmatched against Kentucky and had trouble against bigger players. Reminds me of kris humphries
Bust three drummand soft slow no motor will be his downfall. The next coming if Eddie curry.
Jeremy lamb will be a very good NBA player. He can shoot may have a ray Allen type career. Needs to get stronger

Does anyone not think these guys have bust-potential? (Along with all other draftees) I don’t think I’ve seen, heard, or read anyone not say Drummond, Jones and Lamb have bust potential. I know it’s slow, but do something different.

Anyone who honestly thinks Drummond or PJones are more likely than not to end up as productive players who have a positive impact on their NBA clubs needs to immediately be banned from ever commenting about basketball (on the internet or in person) for at least 5 years. I would gladly bet $500 that neither of these two ever even approaches their supposed ceilings, and only a fool would think that might be easy money.

More on Drummond, and some other overvalued duds, plus some undervalued studs:

I think Lamb is going to be very good. I’m interested in knowing what the “experts” opinion of Hasheem Thabeet was last season. I’m shocked he has not panned out as at the very least a defensive stopper.

Every player in the draft is a potential bust! Even the great Anthony Davis, remember Greg Oden was a sure fire pick at number 1.

I think this post should be titled “Boom or Bust”. Then again if your not a “Boom” are you in reality a “Bust”?
