Whoever drafts Andy Rautins will be happy, agree?

not at all like Noah... unless he grows half a foot

coloradobuff · 03-23-10, 01:09 PM

im just saying he is multi faceted like noah. Does a little bit of everything.

Chi_archie · 03-23-10, 01:15 PM

I hear ya, but you can't teach, or hustle out those extra 6 inches... Noah, is who he is...because he does alot of things AND is 6'11... and that is rare...

Rautins is slower, whiter, and skinnier than alot of other 2 gaurds in the draft...... and most 2 gaurds can do it all too...

i'm just not sure his game translates to the NBA

bruceBRUCEbruce · 03-23-10, 01:15 PM

rautins is a solid 6'5. agreed, should be a good player in the league.

coloradobuff · 03-23-10, 01:26 PM

rautins has such a high basketball IQ with his dad being canada natl team coach and all, think he pans out in NBA..

If NBA doesn't pan out for him then I'm sure he will have a great career overseas.

coloradobuff · 03-23-10, 01:58 PM

agree with you wholeheartedly Yi

Chi_archie · 03-23-10, 02:00 PM

for sure he can make a decent living for a handful of years SOMEWHERE..... I just don't think he'll be okay without a degree to fall back on......

Ralphie1412 · 03-23-10, 02:04 PM

I agree hes a steal in the 2nd round.

BUT

Joakim Noah, ones a 6'11 rebounder the other is a 6'4 shooting guard.

John Wall is the next Shaq

rautins will be very successful overseas if he doesnt make it in nba..but i dont think he has to worry about that

yep, regardless the kid will be playing basketball after college if he wants to

ProfaneReality · 03-23-10, 04:02 PM

LOL....

I see Wall being a Lamar Odom type. And Demarcus Cousins to be a Chris Paul type player.

I think he'll work out OK.............displayed very good work ethic for 'Cuse. Noah had a start on being a problem last year when he was "suspended" for a game...............by his teammates, pretty unheard of.

He is someone that has gotten better every year. He is a workaholic and knows what it takes to play in the NBA. He has been playing for the Canadian National team for 3 years now and has played against some of the best competition in the world.

The kid wants nothing more than to succeed, get better, and do what he can to help the team win. He is a hustler, a gym rat and comes from a good pedigree. I see him being a decent guy off the bench in the NBA, if he wants to go over seas and play he would definitely work out there but more likely he would stay on this side of the pond and start coaching.
