Vitale understands skill at least.

Durant came on like a fireball the 2nd half of the season.
He was fantastic when he went to the hole. It opened up
his outside game.

Kudos to you on that one. I thought the
skinny kid would have to wait until he had muscles.

Ok now the draft starts getting very strange.

Durant will be a monster when he has some players aound him and he can play his natural position as wing 3.

Green is a good player but i dont know if he will be more than a role player. i like Westbrook more than Love. A lot more upside. Guys like Westbrook are harder to find than big guys who rebound.

What the heck would you do with Westbrook?
He may be the best athlete in the draft. But he is a tweener
because of lack of ball skills. I dont think you can just make
a guy into a PG. It is almost like taking a baseball pitcher and turning
him into a QB.
He is gonna have to be a two.

No way. Give him the ball and he will do fine. There is very little on the point pressure in the NBA. There are no zone traps. With the team they have they will be pushing the ball which is his strength. He can develop with the team. If he were going to a playoff team i would be worried but the guy has tremendous athlietic skills. very tough defender.

True. Your version is a college or high school version. Mine is an NBA version

Westbrook reminds me a lot of Kevin Johnson

I dont like seeing the major scorers getting worn down having to
handle the ball too much. Lebron, Kobe... Gotta be able to set up
your stars.
