With the entire KVBL seemingly wide open and the Clippers are contemplating doing a total reversal and acquiring a veteran that could give them boost.

Games at Rupp were a huge success! Wish we could see the new unis though.

I'd like to hear the front office's take on the Goodhue trade now versus when it was made

Quote:

Well, at least we'll probably be really bad when we next have our own pick in a few years

After a fist fight broke out between team security and irate season ticket holders at a private season ticket holder banquet, President Memphis X told the fans in attendance to expect playoff games this year. "Same old Shit" chants met him at the podium prior to his announcement after the team had a 13 game losing streak to fall from the top of the West and then benched Anibal Levrino when he returned from injury. Public pressure is a mofo.

With the trade deadline approaching the Thunder have reportedly added a familiar face to further bolster their depth.

Quote:

Sources say this final acquisition was a move being pushed hard by Coach Billups.

Quote:

The Jens Larsson experience was quite short lived but showed the value in having a 3pt specialist in the teams rotation. This was the obvious indicator as to why the team reacquired forward Muratcan Ozer, a highly efficient outside threat.

Quote:

PG Rory Finnegan, who has since lost his starting role to TM3, will now see backup minutes at the 2 spot as well, further adding to the teams defense which currently ranks 2nd in OPP FG%.

Time for quick takes!

Quote:

Kalambokis - boards and defense

Quote:

Molnar - three point rainmaker

Quote:

Opalevs - chucker, but talented

Quote:

Dimcevski - rotation caliber

Quote:

Yepanchin - next Russian star

Quote:

Popovic - all about transition

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 08:34 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Yiannis Kalambokis - This Greek wing isn't all that impressive when it comes to scoring the ball, but he's got KVBL skills

Quote:

Rebounding is exceptional for a guard and should be his main contribution wherever he lands

Quote:

Steals are plentiful as well, with defense being strong now and potentially great in the future

Quote:

First round talent, I'd say, but he could go anywhere from the teens to the early thirties

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 08:42 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Zoltan Molnar - Zoltan! This kid is still so young that he could easily become a lot more than we see right now

Quote:

The good news: Zoltan is a sharpshooter from behind the arc, and he's the best passer in this draft class

Quote:

The bad news: Zoltan doesn't shoot as well inside the arc, turns it over a bit more than is best, and can't defend worth a lick

Quote:

Put it all together and you've got a lottery level prospect, but much closer to the bottom than the top

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 08:48 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Alvis Opalevs - Alvis, Alvis, Alvis...this guy gets a lot of love from scouts, but I'll tell you why they should dial it back a bit

Quote:

Opalevs possesses great talent, but his head is going to be an issue until he learns to stop shooting for the sake of shooting

Quote:

He'll get to the line a lot, and his three point stroke is average, but he loves to take floaters that hardly ever go in

Quote:

Smarter play and this guy could be great; instead, teams will likely get an inconsistent offensive player with strong defensive potential

Quote:

He definitely needs to be coached up, but one thing that's already fully KVBL-ready is his ability to make plays for others

Quote:

Some scouts are calling this guy a top five talent, and I can see why, but I'd feel better taking him in the back half of the lottery

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 08:51 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Boban Dimcevski - This Macedonian star (ha) doesn't get a lot of love from scouts and I'm not really sure why

Quote:

Solid across the board offensively, the only thing Dimcevski lacks is great passing (he's okay) and a bit better ballhandling

Quote:

Defensive instincts need some work, but he's not that far off and he loves thwarting opponents' fast breaks

Quote:

On mere talent, he's probably a late first round selection, but his heart and will to win will make him a bargain there

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 08:56 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Maksim Yepanchin - Yepanchin is getting out of Russia earlier than most, and the KVBL will benefit greatly because of it

Quote:

Maksim reminds me of Jackson Smith in a lot of ways, but brings more offense to the table and has oodles of potential

Quote:

Minor turnover issues could scare some teams, but shouldn't - this guy is going to be all over the floor doing lots of good things

Quote:

Scouts prefer Opalevs, but my pick for the top foreign player in this class is Yepanchin; he should go top ten easily

**King Joseus** · 12-15-2012, 09:01 AM

@kvblfranfraschilla

Quote:

Božidar Popovic - Božidar (I like to call him Bozo) is an interesting player out of Serbia with a very limited set of skills

Quote:

He shoots a high percentage on low volume, mostly scoring on putbacks and dunks in transition...can't shoot FTs though

Quote:

Passing is anathema to Popovic, but he rebounds well and is good at running the floor

Quote:

He won't be more than a roleplayer, I don't think, but he'll be a useful piece of somebody's rotation

Quote:

Shouldn't go higher than twenty, but anything after that is possible

Kidd · 12-15-2012, 10:29 AM

Sounds like a good crop of internationals. Nice to have a mid-first rounder in the Lakers' pick.
