Shows a little of that touch on his jumper before his season at UK, didn't look too bad handing it either. I don't think Tristan Thompson is a good comparison. He moves his feet well but he's way faster and more explosive than him.

I think the Tristan comparisons are laughable and lazy.

That's not saying much

Looks like a good kid.

But I don't like low iq players. That's why I'm not so high on Hassan.

Oh well, I hope I'm wrong.

I remember you have problems with low iq players too, KD

Dunno why these low iq players come down here. It usually doesn't end well.

Was there anyone taken after him that we should have taken without question? If not then its hard to get too upset about this being the 14th pick.

Still though, bummed that we didn't tank. Just dumb not to. When you have limited opportunities to "suck for luck" you do it especially when you aren't sacrificing anything else.

Hassan's bbiq is not as low as Beasley's and he produces wins. So I can tolerate it easier.

Phuck that. Would rather a team overachieve than tank. We re-sign Waiters and JJ and I'm happy. In the East, we have a shot at 50 wins if this core sticks together.

I'm guessing that Bam's low BBIQ has more to do with him picking up basketball at a late age rather then just being immature and dumb like Beasley. He seems like a kid we can mold

Adebayo was 13th among NCAA players in points saved. Among freshmen he was 1st.

EDIT: He was also 3rd in total points added among freshmen.

Interesting stuff. Pardon my ignorance, but can you tell us what that means? What do each of "points saved" and "total points added" measure?

This page would explain it better than me.
