Getting called for fouls does not equal 'plays defense'.

John Doe

So you equate fouling with playing good defense?

Hinta

I'm probably the best defender ever!

Sounds about right. We have one likely draft guy, and it's not Haws.

I don't get why playing in Europe=long and lucractive career over NBA play

You have to actually make a team in the NBA to get those millions.

Depends on who you are. Haws isn't getting drafted most likely.

southernfriedcougar

11/26/14 3:53pm

i understand what you're saying, but i disagree

you're going to have to back up what you're claiming with facts

macaroni

11/26/14 9:31pm

but like you said, you've gotta make that decision at a good time.

I'm assuming you don't like facts?

macaroni

Why? It's not like playing in the NBA prevents you from playing in Europe later.

This is how TNT would also view it

He's making it up. Ford hasn't heard scouts talking any more than you or I.
