For those that remember Pippen at his peak, is MKG's upside comparable to a Pippen type player?
He developed that outside stroke a few years into his career, but was a pretty savy defender and rebounder from his first days in the league.
I agree with the sentiment that I don't think we've seen the full range of upside with the UK players since that team is so deep and talented. I think at the NBA level, we'll see more offensive polish from Davis, more of a floor general with confidence from Teague, and I think MKG's got more offensive ability that hasn't been shown yet. I agree that MKG is a more talented version of Crash when coming out of college and his ceiling is greater than what Crash brought. MKG's b-ball IQ is slightly better and has more control over his game than Wallace. IMO, it's as if you took Wallace at age 23 or 24, , smoothed down his recklessness, added a jumper and still had a little bit of room to grow into as well, and MKG won't be 19 years old until September of this year. Not a bad consolation prize if you miss out on the Davis jackpot. I've definitely warmed up to him as the year has progressed.

SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
Maybe...that is a stretch of a comparison but I definitely see where you are going.Originally Posted by dnbman
At the end of the day, if we don't get the 1 pick, I guess MKG is certainly in the running for the #2 pick. He would certainly help our ball club immensely.
In Cho I Trust!
Absolutely............. not going to happen.
Pippen is probably a top 25 player ever. He's taller, longer, faster, and more athletic. I can see where you get the similarities, but Gilchrist is like a homeless man's Pippen
I haven't watched MKG enough to make a comparison. I'm just trying to establish an upside. Is that Gerald Wallace?

I can see him maxing out around the Gerald Wallace or Tony Allen level. Not that it's a bad thing, one was an all-star and the other is one of the best defenders in the league and an instrumental piece of a really good team
Ajinca (French for wasted draft pick)
so who would you take if we had the 2nd pick? beal? im leaning towards that right now
this was a pretty cool vid
Gilchrist is still in the running for that second pick. I don't think Wallace or Allen are bad ceilings by any stretch.
I can't really decide who I want for the two if we had that. I was one of the very few people high on Beal since the start of the season, I came around on Lamb after the first week or so, and I'm still not big on Robinson.
thank you for this post. i was about to go all crusty old man on this post.
has to be beal or drummond or trade down for 2 picks. can't see any other option. ideally we could move down and still get drummond or multrie plus perry jones, lillard or lamb.
