Agent_mulder Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) i give you my bold prediction...he'l have more impact than intal..his game is perfect fit for pba Let's just wait and see. For me, he is good for only 1 to 2 years sa PBA though it might depend sa contract na makukuha n'ya (that is kung may mag-draft sa kanya) hehe..

peterparker Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 "Captain Hook" Cardona is overrated... parang naglalaro sa kalye, "larong-buko" with his alahoy shots.. Willie Miller is also overrated... kaya lang naman siya nanalo ng 2 MVP award, kasali sa national team yung lahat ng magagaling sa PBA... i think Rajon Rondo is overrated din.. he is ATROCIOUS with his outside shooting.. shut down his penetration into the lane and he becomes useless... :mtc: Quote Link to comment
gift_of_game Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Rondo's actually underrated. him not making the open jumper is about the ONLY thing he doesn't do well (well, that and FT%). he defends, plays the passing lanes well, rebounds at a great clip for a guard and knows how to run a team. by certain metrics, he's far and away the most productive Celtic this season so far. if Rondo gets injured, the C's are dead in the water. even Doc Rivers said so much. i think Rajon Rondo is overrated din.. he is ATROCIOUS with his outside shooting.. shut down his penetration into the lane and he becomes useless...

gift_of_game Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 kung ganoon naman kasi yung expectation, talo nga siya dyan...Rondo won't be a star in the CP3/Deron sense but he's not a bad player himself. what he gets for the C's scoring-wise is really just gravy. hmm.. most of the things you say Rondo does involves him going into the lane nga bro... the Celtic coaching staff should devote time and effort to help him develop his outside shooting as well as FT`s... he can go head-to-head with CP3 and Deron Williams once that happens... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

alpardpba Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 well hindi pa siya pba (and i doubt if he'll make the jump; he seems to have a very level head and knows his limits), but yeah chris tiu is overrated -- he's too small for a shooting guard and doesn't have the handle of a point guard, and they always talk about him being so cool and collected sa championship games, eh he's been in the uaap for 5 years na, syempre a 24 year old man like him will be more poised than an 18 year old boy from another team hehehe peace sa lahat ng ateneans ha, the truth hurts hehehe sa nba, obviously si starbury has developed an overrated rep. other overrateds? ben wallace (one dimensional undersized center), bruce bowen (best defender? baka dirty player, uses his hands to slap & scratch opponents to annoy them silly) i guess it's easier to catch over rated players because of their massive salaries but oden? siguro in 3 more years we'll see if he's another kwame brown Quote Link to comment
carlorista Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 PBA setting: Kelly Williams over Arwind Santos - i think Arwind is better that KellyGabe Norwood over Jared Dillinger - both are in the national team, but Jared is better that Gabe imho! Joe Devance - not worth for the 1st pick. Quote Link to comment

munchkins and donuts Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 baron davis of the clippers I beg to differ. I guess Baron Davis lived up to expectations. ^.^ It's just that injuries really slows you down.. actually, the one he got, it's even a big surprise that he could still pile up the points...

maitreya Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hey there peeps! I think one of the most overrated players in the NBA is Tracy McGrady. Pag sa offense above average nga siya, pero pag sa defense wala. Tapos di nia pa kayang i-lead ang Houston. Houston is better off without him. Mas nananalo pa sila pag wala siya kasi umiikot ang bola...lahat nabibigayan ng chance to create points. Quote Link to comment
Guest megalodon Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Greg Oden is overrated..Chris Tiu is overrated...Rico Maierhoffer is overrated..Sam Bowie-1984 draft (2nd overall. Stupid Blazers should have picked His Airness) Quote Link to comment

grail80 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Sam Bowie-1984 draft (2nd overall. Stupid Blazers should have picked His Airness) Lol ayan na naman. Portland Trailblazers during that year needed a center, and since Houston already picked Hakeem Olajuwon, they chose the next best available center. He wasn't overrated, as his averages of about 10points and a a shade less than 10 rebounds per game he got in his last year in College closely mirrors his average in Portland. Portland knew what they were getting, they just didn't count on him being injured most of the time. We can argue that he's a draft bust, yes, but overrated? No. Quote Link to comment

grail80 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think they did the same thing when they drafted Greg Oden. And young as they are, they already made the playoffs. On paper they have all they need to win the championship if all goes well (meaning no major injuries). Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment

Yup. maganda sila tignan sa papel. medyo kulang lang dahil injured lagi si Oden and maybe dahil young team pa nga sila. Pero with the veteran experience of Rudy Fernandez ( from the major league sa Spain)...and maybe some minor additions to the roster next year aabot sila ng 2nd round. Sila nga yung bet ko na manalo against Houston. Sayang lang hindi sila nanalo. Quote Link to comment

No.The Blazers would not have chosen him if they didn't think he would be a quality player in the NBA like he was in college. As you said the next best available center. My opinion is they should have taken Jordan and who knows? The Glide would have been his Scottie Pippen. Quote Link to comment

As you said the next best available center. My opinion is they should have taken Jordan and who knows? The Glide would have been his Scottie Pippen. Wahaha did you know his college stats? His best season was 17pts and 9.8rebs per game. In his senior year he got 10 pts and 9rebs per game. In his first year with Portland he got about 10 pts and 8 rebs per game. He did as expected, I would hardly call that being overrated. Like I said, Portland knew exactly what they were getting. They picked according to their need. They needed a serviceable center to beef up their frontcourt. They got it, even made the playoffs but Bowie had a string of injuries. Is Jordan a center? Coz if he was I'm sure the Rockets would have picked him first. Edited May 22, 2009 by grail80 Quote Link to comment

Some can argue Kwame Brown is the worst draft day mistake of all time, but yeah your statement is arguably true. But Bowie is definitely not overrated. Quote Link to comment
