The poster's friend's sister is 22/23. She is who had the yearbook. She is who allegedly graduated with Thon, which would likely make him 22/23.

Ahhhh sheet that changes everything. Time to inbox karine and ask her how old she is lol

Just the timing of this whole thing, I wouldn't be surprised if an NBA team was behind this getting leaked. The draft is hours away and nobody has a chance to find out his legit age.

no offense but i found this suspect.

if he did graduate from Australia, how could he docter his age so easily? this is Australia lol, they up to date like everyone else.

isnt it more likely whoever posted that is lying and thats the graduation photo from last year (gr.12) as this year hes technically in gr.13 (victory lap)

im taking him at 27th and trying to convince him to play d league on year (domestic stash)

The Josh Huestis type stash was a good move the Thunder. I wish the raptors could have done it with Bruno, if we had the 905 at the time.

One of the teams in the 40s is probably trying to scare off other teams.

Age cannot measure work ethic. In the meantime, our best draft pick since Demar has been Norm and he was considered "too old."


It matters in teens. A 21 year old man is going to destroy 17 year old kids. How can you get a handle on the guy's skills at that point?

Also, Jonas was a pretty nice pick between those 2.

Dunno if this has been pointed out, but DX has him at 10(!!!) in their final mock.

They wanted the guy we picked.

We caused them to make the worst pick of the draft lol
