not gonna lie that reminded me of gordon


When i made comparisons right before draft i mentiond Gordon and i was like " do i really wanna get into this with fans if he ends up here? Nah... OH screw it , submit comment" :lol:

But yea... His shot is way off. Even when he hits it , it looks so unnatural and robotic. And in general i don't see how he can be "ballhandler" in nba. I just can't.

Funny that out of probably 1+ hour of shootaround that they could only find 4 shots that they hit consecutively.

Execlly. That's why i never care about summer videos where claims like:
improved form
better jumpshot
lower bodyfat
more muscles
"hard working "


But i'll never figure Ben. You can't be that good at other things if you don't have strong work ethic. How can shooting be so mentally tough for him to the point where it breaks him down.

Ben is still shooting with his left, which is imo a project destined to fail again.

Oh man...your obsession with markelle is just unbearable. Just let him know that you're in love with him for god's sake.

But Schroeder can shoot the 3. Shouldn't he make even more money? How's your strange theory now?

He's gone really cheap. It's obvious he signed that contract because his priority was leaving L.A.
Schroeder got MLE and Fourmier got 78 mil per 4 yrs. What a strange world... :crazy:

Schroder isnt the only one to turn down money and lose.

Oladipo turned down a big offer from Indy ($112mil), then another offer from Houston. Now, he just re-signed with Miami for the vet minimum.

I respect players who prioritize situation, work environment and opportunities over money.
On the other hand both players have already had important contracts and let's be honest...10 lives would not be enough to spent the money they've already won.

They're both fools, Oladipo especially given his injury history.

the team used to play pickup games at the rec center. played some runs with James Robinson, Melvin Cheatum, Keith Askin, Jason Caffey, Gary Waites

Wimp Sanderson recruited some good players there near the end.
