NBA Draft 2014

[chuckd4735]

You are full of ****. I follow the NBA and the draft like a mofo. Marble, Kane and Ejim were all lauded as hard workers with versatile games. Kane and Ejim are a bit more skilled but undersized. Age killed Kane for sure. Between ESPN, Yahoo, NBADRAFTNET, and NBA.com, I haven't seen one article or heard once on TV that Marble (or Kane/Ejim for that matter) had a bad work ethic. Quite the opposite, actually. Marble and Ejim both steadily improved throughout their careers. Zero chance that happens if they aren't hard workers.

I am pretty constipated today...

Whoa whoa whoa. "Much wiser pick?" Let's slow down a little. Marble was 6 picks away from not getting drafted. Bilas had him only a few spots better than Kane. Don't act like there was this huge gap between them. I mean, we're still talking about a late 2nd round pick. Players taken there still have lots of question marks. Not exactly a sure thing. Marbles youth was his advantage, but "much wiser" is just trolling.

Some of these trolls need to slow their roll, there are FOUR cyclones at five NBA camps and marble isn't guaranteed anything. Things change fast like a certain locker room theft.

It's okay. Kane got a Big 12 championship and a sweet 16 appearance and has a good chance at making the Lakers so I'm guessing he's pretty satisfied

*Big 12 Tournament Championship.

I am going to guess you fools dont credit Iowa with 2 Big 10 titles since 2000-2001.

There is a LOT of petty bickering in here over players who are guaranteed nothing at this point. Marble was drafted at the end of the second round and the track record for picks that late isn't great to say the least. Kane and Ejim and whoever else could end up making a team despite not being drafted. Let's revisit this in a few months instead of having stupid arguments about work ethics and ages.

Nope, but us fools do credit the Hawks with zero NCAA tourney wins since 1997.

My bad, Kane got a Big 12 tournament championship while Marble got bounced by Northwestern.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

I think there a conference titles (regular season champs) and conference champs (tournament champs). At least in my opinion.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

Stop the butthurt. Marble got drafted. The old man with the baggage didnt. Deal with it.

If DeAndre Kane is an old man, then my 90 year old grandma might be immortal.

They were bounced by MSU.

They were bounced by MSU.

Here you go:

They would have needed a win to reach MSU. That team wasn't picking up wins.

Maybe in your hawk fan dreams.

 

[chuckd4735]

They were bounced by MSU.

...in 2013.

 

[awd4cy]

They were bounced by MSU.

No, they were bounced by almighty Northwestern.

 

[jsb]

They were bounced by MSU.

They would have gotten bounced by Msu had they beat northwestern. Marble came very very close to leading his teamto another nit.

 

[Shawker]

...in 2013.

We were talking about 2013 right? JK that's my bad. Apparently I blocked out the last two months of the season. That or the alcohol did.

I'd probably continue that pattern for next season as well

 

[awd4cy]

But Peter Joke and Adam Dingleberry should be able to carry that team next year.

Why don't you count the 2 Iowa got in 1999 or the Creighton win in the tourney in 2001?

Derp much?

Sweet! I was in high school then! Good times.

I'm 31 now.

Sorry, I didn't fact check myself before posting. 2001, 1997, the point is still the same. Last time you losers won a tourney game, no one in the state really knew who Hampton was, and the World Trade Center towers were standing.
