2710111, Not me. I wanted him over Zion

Not sure how you didn't see his explosiveness: it jumped
right off the page.
And dude is actually a careful, smart guard. Efficient,
well rounded
He's going to be a serious, serious problem for many years
to come

One thing scare me about him. ...back issues.
He has sat out a couple of games already with back issues, and with the way he contorts his body awkwardly to the rim reminds me of how D Rose used to use his body.
Hopefully he stays healthy... these players are more explosive than their bodies can handle.
|
2710122, I didn't think he wouldn't get off, I just thought he'd need adjustment
Posted by Rjcc, Sun Jan-05-20 10:44 PM
I was fucking wrong.

2710124, he will go down as the best pick of the draft.
Posted by Reeq, Sun Jan-05-20 11:14 PM
10 years from now people are gonna remove all context/nuance around the draft (like usual) and be wondering why zion got picked over him.
|
2710136, My boss and I were discussing this draft and we both predicted Morant
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jan-06-20 08:46 AM
would have the better career due to health reasons and the way the game is played these days.
|
2710154, he made me quit AAU coaching
Posted by tomjohn29, Mon Jan-06-20 01:46 PM
kids did not want to guard him in 9th grade
had one kid check out the game
another kid start crying

2710156, damn!

2710157, he was like that back then?

2710159, scale it down like 30% percent against suburban South Carolina kids
Posted by tomjohn29, Mon Jan-06-20 03:17 PM
you do the math
he could dunk
his handle was good
but he was FAST
and so he was just all angles and floaters
which at that age was amazing to see
|
2710161, That sorta sounds right given what we have now
Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Jan-06-20 03:42 PM
The thing about dude is that it looks like he got
uber explosive *later*. Like, he was always athletic,
but this galactic shit we're seeing now was built on
top of a well defined mature game.

2710637, its prolly a good thing that zion sits out for a while.
Posted by Reeq, Tue Jan-14-20 11:12 PM

dudes floor *and* ceiling are higher than zions imo.
