2744956, Didn't say he wasn't.

I said Gelo would be a bottom 10th percentile athlete on the wing in the NBA. And that's true. Might even be generous.

And again, you're describing the insane exceptions to the rule. Of course anyone *can* find a path to success. But when people say "Player X isn't an NBA player," it's because 99+% of the time, college/overseas players like that player can't make it in the NBA.

I'm rooting for him, because I have sympathy for anyone with a clear dream that has serious impediments to overcome. But again, it is exceedingly unlikely that Gelo can stick in the NBA, regardless of how Summer League goes. And if he does, it's because he's made himself into one of the best shooters in the world.
