Can he dunk though?

[imdaman99]

The next Westbrook with that speed :pimp:

[Basketbolero]

[imdaman99]

He was ballin in the 1st half last night.
Than the coach must have said something so he barely got the ball or minutes 2nd half.

[IncarceratedBob]

He's gonna be special. Chris Paul special.

[Clyde]

Dude is not physically ready for the NBA.

He's got hops, but little else.

(i hope he doesn't end up on Orlando)

[Solefade]

nah Goatbrook special doe :pimp:

[AlphaWolf24]

LeVine was playing great....but in the 2nd Half Alford kept putting the ball in his sons hands instead of LeVine's :confusedshrug:

Alford jr. couldn't do anything with the ball....got it stolen a few times and got his shot blocked.

don't blame him for being mad.

A couple of years of Thibs discipline would do him good :lol

Are you Zach's dad?

I sure hope he doesn't go to Orlando because 5 years later LA would be way too stacked again with Embiid and him, not fair.

Then the Rockets will get them both a year later. :applause:

Thanks my homies.

At the pace Houston is winning rings, I would be perfectly fine with that :oldlol:

At the pace Los Angeles is winning games, I would be surprised if you won 82 total in 5 years :oldlol:

hahahah that was almost funny after 10,000th time you've said that

[Basketbolero]

You are so traumatised you are even counting them? Lame. First time I say that though, nice try.

oh...you're one of these tools with that stupid running joke.

[cos88]

in b4 is he any good can the heat get him or is he any good can kobe play with him :lol

[Basketbolero]

oh...you're one of these tools with that stupid running joke.
Nah, just trolling Jameer back :cheers:

[Burgz V2]

LeVine needs a consistent shot, and to learn how to play out of the half court

hope he goes to a team that will let him run the point, he could be a problem in a few years. gonna have a rough first two seasons though

[jzek]

His dunks look exactly like Gerald Green's.

[senelcoolidge]

He'll be joining Honeycutt in Europe in a couple years.

[AnaheimLakers24]

maybe Orlando gets him? he'll be in lakers bench rotation in 3 years if they gethim so lets cross fingers

[20Four]

hahahah that was almost funny after 10,000th time you've said that
Jameer tell your parents to stop smoking crack :roll:

[el gringos]

I guess he had to, even if he had been enjoying it more.


He had a lot of progress to make to even maintain his draft stock if he returned to ucla.


He is a freak though and could go as high as pick 5, maybe as low as 15 or 20


Norman Powell should be in more mock drafts

[qrich]

Dude is nothing but athleticism. His intelligence is lacking, no jumper, his defense is atrocious considering how athletic he is, shaky handles. Unless a team will be playing him behind a vet for a few years, I feel bad for whoever drafts him.

He wasn't even a top 5 player on the Bruin squad with Jordan, Kyle, Norman, Wearx2.

[LoneyROY7]

I see Terrence Ross.

[Clyde]

I see Terrence Ross.

at first I thought pffft...no way.

but the more i think about it the more i like it.

Ross in his first year could jump out the gym, but couldn't shoot or dribble.

Obviously his shot has gotten a lot better.

I like the comparison ( at least as a rookie)

[no pun intended]

What? He was actually rated one of the best shooters coming into the draft.

That's not the point. Rookie year field goal percentages are most often lower than the seasons after, because they need time adjusting to the transition from college to the pros. "Couldn't shoot" is an understatement. He could always shoot and was labeled as a shooter coming into the draft (made 2.1 threes a game on 37% 3PT in college). Are you telling me that Ben McLemore (who made 2.0 threes a game on 42% 3PT in college) can't shoot either? Because he's currently shooting much more poorly than Ross in his rookie year.

College 3's are alot closer then NBA.

also you should be slapped in the dick for think McLemore can shoot.....he's on my fantasy team and is useless.

[Clyde]

McLemore was a scorer in college.

hardly a shooter, if you know what I mean.

3.5 seconds to get from defense to the rim.

:eek:

[PleezeBelieve]

Dude is a stick. Not ready for primetime. Should have stayed in school

Don't usually agree with what you say (Waiters vs Beal)

but you're spot on here.

But, according to 75% of ISH he'll get better development in the NBA. No problem, he can just ride the bench for 3 or 4 years while he gains weight and his game develops.
