Cauley-Stein! Mudiay! (split from the Clippers [Game] thread)

[KingsFan80]

At least the Lakers have a plan. We are an absolute embarrassment to professional sports. I own a Cousins jersey and I hope we trade him so he doesn't have to endure this crap. Rudy has mailed it in.

and Mudiay almost had a triple double tonight....

Dear lord. I ask this in all honesty, are you in any way related to Emmanuel Mudiay? He's literally the only person you ever post about.

Mudiay sucks right now. Not sure people want to keep using him as an example of a missed pick

Because he could be in a Kings uniform....it helps to have talent ya know that right?

Yeah I get it. I love Willie. He is being severely underutilized to his detriment.

WCS is terrible. Trade him now while he still has some value. Won't be in the league in two years

It also helps not to have almost as many turnovers as you do assists. The Nuggets have been competitive in spite of Mudiay, not because of him.

Mudiay is shooting 36% in his career and averages 4 turnovers per game. He might turn into a player but at this point he's Tyreke Evans-LITE and Reke didn't exactly set the league on fire after his ROY performance

Yeah I guess WCS's numbers are better lol

What is WCS doing? You seriously think he is better? I would take Mudiay shooting 28% over the garbage we get from WCS. This is depressing to watch. I feel sorry for Cousins

Maybe there is an argument to be made for picking Mudiay over WCS but his shooting percentage is not one of them

Believe me I am not defending Willie, he deserves all the valid criticism he gets. I wanted the Kings to draft Mudiay. I just want to set the record straight he's not exactly setting the NBA ablaze.

Right...but he would be something to look forward to right now. I won't mention him anymore on here as I know you all are getting annoyed. But I love the Kings and it just pains me to see mistakes like this one

Yeah, I was pro-Mudiay as well but he's not even top three on my hindsight-aided list of guys we should have drafted instead of WCS.

It's not annoying to me. But I think to say we should have drafted Mudiay is not a definitive statement when we he is shooting 35%.

Now when someone like myself can watch 1/2 hour of clips and say without ANY equivocation (and you can look it up) that Myles Turner reminds me of Kevin Durant and Vlade barely gives this kid a passing glance you have to wonder WTF?!?!

Myles Turner has a 21 PER, he's 14 PPG 7 RPG and 2.4 BLOCKS PER GAME and the KID is 20 years old. Willie is turning 23!!!! So it calls into question the talent evaluation prowess of our GM when an arm-chair fan like myself can out-GM him from the comfort of my living room.

Fair point...As you know I am not a fan of Vlade at all. I know some minority owners...when I say he doesn't know what he is doing that isn't coming from my opinion.

 

[BeerNerd916]

Bull. He will be in the League for 10+ years

lol I hope this is a joke

I didn't need hindsight. I would have drafted Mudiay, Winslow, Turner and Stanley Johnson before Willie. Willie was an old rookie with an inclination to disappear in big moments. He wasn't featured at Kentucky, but cream rises to the top. He didn't rise.

Vlade drafted Willie because he wanted immediate output and turnaround and his Chicago numbers were impressive. But he went for the quick fix instead of the broader perspective and long term upside. Its coming back to bite him in the butt. I don't want to give up on Willie just yet, but the guy looks terrible.

 

[BeerNerd916]

lol I hope this is a joke

With the right setup Willie could post similar pt and blk #s as Whiteside, with less rb #.

But I bet Whiteside was a joke to you as well....

 

[KingsFan80]

I hope you don't put any money on that

 

[SLAB]

At one point I believed that could be a possibility.

Willie has done a damn good job killing pretty much all the faith I had in him though. He's been near useless more often than not...

 

[BeerNerd916]

I hope you don't put any money on that

A long athletic 7 foot rim runner?? If you wanna make a bet Willie won't hit 12&8 with 2 blocks a game then sure, I will take your money.

 

[Joshoua]

Seriously crap that Mudiya talk up damn

He's actually been alright thus far in the homestand. Those three fouls in one quarter sorta skew things though.

Play him with the right people and yeah he will succeed

Riiiiiight...He is soft, can't score..he was a role player at UK and got drafted that high because he played for Calipari. We fell for it. Out of the league in 2 or 3 years tops

 

[SLAB]

The fact he just dissapears and is a complete non-factor with his size, length, athleticism speaks volumes.

Name one GM who would have drafted Turner over WCS? Oh wait you can't the GM that took Turner wanted WCS over him. Get that crap outs here anyone can draft the perfect team years after the draft

lol I hope this is a joke

He's seven feet tall. Jason Thompson played in the league for eight years. Mikki Moore played for thirteen years. Cauley-Stein will get another shot.
