Orton and Whiteside workout

"[Hilton] Armstrong beat them 5-0-0, showing that the young bucks still have a ways to go. They just could not score on Armstrong or against each other, while Armstrong used his strength, experience and savvy to find ways to score on them."

Good article.... sometimes we forget truly how bad some of these project players are....

Way to

bust up the back half of my big board less than 24 hours after I made it :)

Not too concerned....

No Orton, but I have Whiteside towards the bottom of my board. That’s why they’re called projects. While watching Orlando/Celtics I was thinking back to when Shaq was with Orlando and they played against Olajuwon and Houston. Dream schooled Shaq. This workout would be the less talented, less upside version of that.

I dunno about that

When Shaq was a rookie he threw up a 12 pt 13 rb 3 bl performance the first time against the Dream and followed it up with a 16-17-2 later in the year.

Could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?

3 guys that can't play offense

Not surprised.

What is surprising is that Armstrong scored

And those guys are supposed to be defensive players. I guess Whiteside is more of a weakside help defender, but still, it is Hilton Armstrong.

Well they are both pretty crappy players. But I would take Whiteside over Orton.

Whiteside is # 11 on my list.

Should've stayed at Kentucky one more year in my opinion

But he must have a good agent since he’s still projected late lotto.

I know. I am so surprised at that.

He did not score more than eight points in the last 24 games. (at Kentucky)

He really hasn't done anything in college

and I think he’s basically getting by on his teammates. Bledsoe deserves to be higher than Orton in my opinion. Orton should go in the 20s or even 30s but he won’t.
