Kemba Walker Thread Part 2

[SWedd523]

It's not that we're getting bent out of shape for the reasons you're trying to imply, because if you were to state that Damian Lillard is having a good rookie season, I'm sure almost everyone would agree, but when you have to say that "Lillard is having a better rookie season than Kemba" then you are throwing unwarranted shade. Saying that Lillard is having a better rookie season than Kemba had serves no purpose of debate unless you are trying to belittle him. Guess what? Lillard is having a better rookie season than all-time great PG John Stockton too, but what is that saying?

Lillard IS having a better rookie season than Kemba. There really isn't any way to refute that. He hit the ground running and Kemba stumbled a little bit. Oh well.

If we're basing our opinions off what little evidence we have, you could easily make an argument for wanting Lillard instead of Kemba (better physical profile, quicker adjustment to the NBA, etc). But it really doesn't matter because there's no way we could've had one or the other since they were in different draft classes.

Stop trying to justify your hate LOL

Not sure if srs LOL

Posters like Swedd believe that the fact that he didn't have to adjust to the NBA game and Kemba took a year to get it shows that he has a higher ceiling...

Here we go again with the ignorant selective reading. Please quote where I said that.

When I asked you if the "stats" MKG puts up now would be as impressive if he was putting up the same "stats" as a 25-26 year old rookie...you diverted and said MKG's work ethic and talent would mean he would be better if he stayed one more year...

More selective reading. You're good at that. I said, age doesn't matter. IF MKG had stayed another year, and thus (stay with me here) entered the league as a 20 year old and still put up the same stats, it would be equally as impressive.

If MKG entered the league as a 22 year old Senior, it would be (you guessed it), just as impressive. The NBA is a completely different beast than any level of college. Being able to immediately make an impact is noteworthy no matter how old you are.


Also, please note that CAPITALIZATION doesn't help any point you're trying to make.
