    the reason the Nuggets dealt Felton was because he wants to be a starter, which he will never be in Denver. Ty Lawson is the Franchise guard, and keeping Felton impedes his progress. Therefore, they traded Felton, a rising star with high value, for Miller, who will accept coming off the bench, plus they picked up Hamilton who they were targeting.

    You said:
    "After Thursday evening, it will mark three years in a row that a point guard went first overall..."
    WTF happened to Blake Griffin??? LOL.

    If Leonard can prove he is capable of knocking down shots, the raptors might reach for him at five, he can provide the rebounding that their bigs, not pointing fingers but a seven foot i-tie, don't. It's a reach for sure, but it might be a good fit. He will also improve their abominable defense.

    Well the Tristan Thompson article is good.

    The Hamilton Article has one mistake.In the 1st paragraph it says, "there are concerns about him about him being dialed in..." You put "about him" twice.

    Yea i understand. Gotta make that paper ha.

    Btw, in the last paragraph of the Singleton article it needs to say, "never will BE a star". Right now its says, "never will a star".

    I decided I'm gonna keep gonna keep correcting your articles until you start hating me

    Haha definitely not my morals. It's what the advertisers and Google want, and since this is my main source of income, I have to do as they say.

    Yea I figured it was probably just bad grammar on Liggins' part but I figured I would correct it just in case.

    You cant say anything with a** in it or sh*t and a few others such as d*ck and so on and so forth. I understand if you have to do it because of advertisers and things like that, but I hope it's not because of your morals haha

    Thanks, Fitz. I made some of the corrections.

    Two of them were wrong though because that's how the quote was said. You should never fix the grammar in the quote if that's how the player said it.

    What specific filter are you talking about?

    *Hands instead of hand.

    Haha i f'ed up while correcting your f ups. And you need to get rid of the bad language filter on here imo. It's annoying

    Walt- Well the first sentence did say Every year i scratch at instead of scratch my head at, but i guess u just fixed that recently.

    In the 3rd paragraph you say "the extremely talent bunch of recruits coming to Kentucky...". It should be TALENTED bunch

    5th paragraph- "We had other guys who more highly recruited than me..." Should be "other guys who WERE more highly recruited than me"


    7th paragraph- "but he never showed a consistency in attacking the basket." you need to take out the A.

    8th paragraph- Hands instead of hands in " I didn't have the ball in my hand a lot"

    I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi btw. Just trying to help out.

    I believe he'll get drafted. His offense has improved year after year, he keeps improving his all around game and is reasonably athletic. I watched him play a lot at KY and his D is top notch. What team wouldn't want a wing player to come in off the bench and defend tirelessly and well, rebound, scrap for loose balls, and score if left open. He's the perfect player for that role, and a team first player as well. 2nd round to the Knicks or Celtics....
