thesheedera Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Do you think the player's age in that season would be a relevant thing to consider when comparing these picks, or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 There are other players that left, college after there freshmen year on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesheedera Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Definitely, it's just hard to remember who left when unless it's part of the data. A player's age has always been a huge factor in when they're drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted April 17, 2007 Moderators Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 The age thing is a factor - such as Tyrus Thomas this year with his 5.2 ppg and 3.8 rpg averages for his first year. He is young enough that those numbers are not going to worry the Bulls like they would worry the Milwaukee Bucks if Glenn Robinson put them up.

pimp Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 The Bulls are a playoff Team.Rookies don't get much playing time on playoff teams. That's why Tyrus Thomas is only playing 13.4 minutes a game.But, 5points and 4 rebs is pretty good for 13mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing time and the quality of team the guy is playing on have to be factored in. Obviously getting minutes and production on a good team is more impressive then getting minutes on a bad team.

ncthompson11 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I see marvin doing really well if he can start being a 3 point threat. I know he isnt bad but if he could become an antawn jamison I would be happy. Jamison played PF at carolina but now is a good wingplayer that has range that extends to the 3 point line. I see marvin doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously and we cant go back and change it. Id take them over jamison too but im hoping marvin can become a reliable second or third option.

Dejay Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 For that kind of pick, I expect a franchise changer from the SF position, not a 3rd option guy who hangs around for jumpshots as he is today. I'll be more receptive to him being here instead of Paul or Deron Williams when he's a 2nd option at worst, meaning he's a 22/7 type of player who can be counted on a nightly basis like some of the others mentioned. I know, age and caliber of team are factors, but if it was going to take this long to see what he is, why the hell would you get him instead of a PG, especially when they had no semblence of one to start. Forget it, a beaten horse, already discussed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted April 17, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Said it then. I repeat it now. We wasted that pick... Period. We missed out on a franchise changing guard Period.. Marvin equates to Darius Miles or Laphonzo Ellis with worse shooting. Fire the coach. Fire the GM. Call me when we can draft again!!

TheNorthCydeRises Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 LOL @ 22/7 players being a 2nd option on a team. Those numbers are usually what the main option guys get, and it gets you borderline all-star consideration. I think we all know that Marvin was the "wrong" pick, simply because Paul could've stepped in and immeadiately been a starter at PG. Marvin would've had to be very, very good right out the gate, to displace Al or Smoove out of that 3 or 4 spot. Paul, on the other hand, only had to beat out Lue. That's easier said than done, because Woody likes his vets, and Lue, when going offensively, isn't a bad player to have on the team. Having said that, I can't complain too much about Marvin, because he's probably progressing exactly at the rate he should be progressing, seeing that he isn't looked at as being the go-to-guy, like Lebron, Melo, Carter, and Big Dog were. With Smoove probably firmly establishing himself as the #2 option, people may have to settle for Marvin being a 13 - 17 ppg scorer and a 5 - 7 rbg guy, unless Marvin becomes an aggressive slasher, as well as a good mid-range shooter. But I want to see that FG% dramatically increase to around the 47% - 50% range. No more 43% shooting from the 3 spot after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 From the 2nd pick of the draft, especially if the team selecting him passes on borderline All-Star point guards while it has Tyronn Lue as its most reliable option there. There, I said it; my expectations of Marvin Williams are SKY HIGH considering who was left at the alter. I expect him to be an aggressive slasher, have a deadly mid-range shot, and be the guy riding shotgun with Joe Johnson in terms of scoring because his draft position dictates it; why in the hell would you get him so high in the first place if he couldn't do that? Why can't the 2nd pick overall be a go-to guy or a second option on the 2nd lowest scoring team in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted April 18, 2007 Moderators Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The next Darius Miles??? In what way are they vaguely comparable? Miles took 5 years in the NBA before even averaging double digits and couldn't hit a shot beyond 5 feet from the basket. Miles and Marvin are not remotely comparable, IMO, unless you just want to insult Marvin by comparing him to do-nothings like Miles, Thomas, etc. over and over despite the lack of comparable numbers and/or game.

Premium Member Diesel Posted April 18, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The next Darius Miles in the way that he was taken way too early with lots of hype behind him by a franchise who at the time had a Lamar Odom and could have really used a PG better than Hudson or a Center.

Johnnybravo4 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yall are talking as if he wasn't a project to begin with. Going from scoring 11ppg in college to 13 in the pros is tremendous. If Chris Paul was on this team we probably would have played him much since Woody like his teacher, Larry Brown, doesn't like young players. Marvin will probably avg 18/7 next season which is fine by me, especially if Josh Smith is avg 20/10 and JJ is avg 25/5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 34 this year, so he's actually playing worse from a PER standpoint. His FG% is also much lower, he doesn't rebound or pass, and all he can do is shoot. And he's not even that good a shooter, he still can't shoot 3's in the pros.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
