I actually didn't, it was whoever started piling against Derrick Rose. 

 

[RipCity32]

No there isn't.

Is their an option to prevent people from voting if they view the poll without voting first?

What?

 

[Hurricane Season]

I know its possible. I've seen boards that have that feature.

I went with Tyreke, he is very underrated. So good at generating buckets off scoring, passing, and even the "Kobe" assist. He's a fantastic drive and kick guy, an elite on ball defender, good rebounder, gets his team into transition, he just does so much for a team.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Elite OBD is probably a stretch

 

[bosoxlover12]

Probably?

I wouldn't even call Bradley an elite OBD and he's better than Tyreke defensively

 

[jonathanlambert33]

It's really not, problem is for how good he is on ball he's equally as bad off ball lol. That's one of the reasons Erman has me so excited, because it's 100% a focus issue.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's sloppy with the ball too

He gradually got worse as the game progressed and I think a lot of it had to do with his conditioning. He wasn't conditioned to play the roll he was asked and it showed as the games got later and later. Overall I'd say he has done a solid job with the ball. He's down 12 lbs since we last heard, I think that will go a long ways to making him more explosive and having better stamina.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

So you can *assume* Tyreke will be better at his deficiencies despite not seeing any proof on the court throughout his career, but you speak out against people who are voting for Kobe for *assuming* he will play better as his body gets healthier?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm not assuming anything in voting for Tyreke this high, that's kinda like uh...not the point of these polls.

 

[cruzg24]

Nola Ive seen you talk a big game for Tyreke due to a system, conditioning, and reaching his ultimate potential. What do you view his statline being next year?

I voted for Kobe because hes still an elite scorer and hes got a semblance of a team this year.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Does Khris Middleton play the 2 or the 3?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He technically starts at the 2 but he's a true 3

 

[Hurricane Season]

Lou Will isn't getting enough love.
 
I mean, he's really just a one trick pony, but he's pretty solid.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Drake mentioned him in a song so he must be good right

I'm really not sure, there's no clarification of what his roll will be. Starter, reserve, how much will the ball be in his hands? Assuming he plays 30+ minutes a night I could see him going for 18 pts and 7 assists a night.

Drake Bell?
