Nobody has the 'nad to predict? c'mon.

I say his overall tendenx rating will improve, but not drastically (I
think he'll stay in top ten, but don't think he'll break top five).
While his per/48 numbers will drop as the rest of the league gets more
film on him and actually starts to game plan for him a little.

I think bozak is implying his numbers will go down dramatically as the
season progresses (he'll fall WAY out of the top ten?). I think he is
drawing this conclusion on a number of factors, not the least of which
will be Bynum's increased time against first tier players now that
Kwame is out.

Bryan thinks Bynum's numbers will go up dramatically? Not sure.

Those are the only two posters (bozak and bryan) who are even implying
a prediction... sack up people.

i said long ago he would be a journeyman guy in the mold of that guy
who moved around a lot (donaldson)...

i also said he wasnt a guy who would be the first pick in the draft
in his second year like management was saying...

your list shows that the center position is the weakest it has ever
been in the modern nba, and your boy the bust doesnt have the
stamina to play more than 25 minutes, yet alone against first tier
guys who suck too...

what i am really trying to figure out is, what is really different
about his game this year than last at this time???

he isnt faster, he is bigger, he isnt more explosive, and this kid
has cap teaching him... he has one of the greatest centers in the
history of the league tutoring him...

and dude, you dont think all of caps peeps are asking him why
doesnt he shoot the skyhook???

he cant shoot it... its a shot that is shot down into the basket...
people are always talking about, why doesnt he shoot the skyhook...
he doesnt have hops... do you not remember kareem being in
dunk contests??? do you not remember in his prime that if
you blocked it, you were really guilty of goal tending because
when the ball left his hand it was already going downwards???

dude, the bust is still getting his *** thrown out of the gym
by guys 4 inches smaller than him... he cant shoot the skyhook
because he cant jump... i dont know about most people but when
i was in my early twenties i could jump out of the friggin
gym... as i got older, i got less athletic... im guessing the same
works for everybody... there isnt a period in the busts life where
he is going to be quicker than he is now...

YOU CAN NOT USE HIM IN A TRAPPING DEFENSE...
its not going to work, he is way to slow...

rebounding is the one good thing he can do because he is
tall and he has above average hands... but if he aint right
under the rack and the ball isnt close, have you ever seen
him fight for anything???

please, how i take apart the bynum busters, let me count
the ways...

lol...
