Harangody is great on the boards, and a better scorer than Blair ever was in College. Luke just didn't get the hype because he played for a terrible ND team.

Yeah he's great on the boards. That why he had 4 today.

Blair had 23pts 22rbs against Harangody in college. Harangody isnt going to be scoring in the NBA like he did in college.

I love Luke, but he clearly isn't the prospect Dejuan was coming into the league.

I'm not trying to argue Harangody over Blair. I'm just making a comparison to how both were drafted way later than they should have been, do to questions about their physical abilities at the NBA level.

Both guys were 1st round draft picks, that got drafted in the 2nd round. Harangody will be a solid NBA player, and will be better than most of the guys drafted ahead of him in the 1st round (just like Blair).

When a guy averages 23/12 in D1 College hoops... the guy can ball. Take a look at the some of the guys drafted before him, and it's laughable.

how did Favors look out there?

[GOBB]

Favors just rebounded and played defense. Didnt do much offensively.

I never saw Harangody as first rd talent. High 2nd rd imo. He went lower than I expected him to go tho. Harangody can ball I just think his potential/upside is limited. He can make the best out of what he has which is why I think he can be a good role player. Today he did a good job stretching the defense.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Harangody also did more bench press reps than any other player at the combine, so at least he is strong even if he is slow as hell.

I don't know how some of these guys like Lance Stephenson slide so far every year though...

[Posterize246]

I figured as much, I think unless the Nets move him they are gonna regret not taking Cousins. Im pretty sure Cousins will start his string of 20/10 games very early in his career

Favors and Speight were dissapointing...
Favors a bit more though
