Henderson is absolutely jacked, he will be bullying other players for years with his strength alone.

Scoot can't buy a basket tonight. Damn

It's like this guy is adding half a lb of muscle mass per month. Dude needs to calm down or he'll look like a body builder soon.

Liking what Cidy is doing out there. Solid defensively. Ignite look like crap when Scoot isn't doing anything

I don't think heart inflammation is a long term issue for most individuals especially when they said his could have been related to covid-19. I think it's an acute thing. If that's the case then he should be fully medically cleared and seems to be doing fine. He has a lot of basketball talent the only concern with him being that he looks more like 6ft4.5 than 6ft6. Visually he almost looks like a younger PJ Tucker even though their games are very different.

He will drop to the second round as he should. Bosh tried to come back from a serious injury and he had no takers. He's a HOFer. Heart inflammation is not like a cold, you can die from that and it is can inflame at any time. He should make the NBA but not as a first rounder when there are less risky options. He's not that good. Jared Butler had heart complications and went 40 to Utah. That sounds about right.

I agree with some stuff but not him definitely being a 2nd rounder, it will depend on medical evaluations and whether or not he has an acute or chronic form of myocarditis.

And also him not being that good... he's been outstanding this year. He does a hell of a lot more on the court than most guys people think are 1st round picks.

You wanna talk about definite 2nd rounders we can talk about GG Jackson dude is a massive scrub

Yeah GG hasn't been good this year. 38/30/70 is gross. Duren was better last year as a young big. GG plays on a crap team and his numbers are not ready. He should come back next year but he won't.

You're in luck because if he's African and taller than 6'6 chances are Masai is drafting him. Very few African players Masai doesn't want, he wanted Giannis, rumored he recently asked for Kuminga in a trade package and just drafted Koloko. There is no end in sight, Africa is the Raptors' farm system.

It's not even his shooting totals it's his ast% relative to his usgrt. 31.9 mins 0.8 assists

It's one of the worst ratios in the history of CBB.

WuTang_CMB · Post #790 » by **WuTang_CMB** » Tue Mar 7, 2023 1:01 am

Leonard Miller an even bigger scrub than GG Jackson

Pretty sure Masai would take him Top 5

I'm completely sold on Maxwell Lewis with the Raps' 1st rounder, just have to hope he is available and another team doesn't view him as a diamond in the rough. He shows flashes of EVERYTHING including making impact plays on defense. The Raps are all about internal growth and development so if you take him you have all the tools to work with regardless of his inconsistency thus far in his short collegiate career. He's long but agile enough to be a legit 2 guard in the league. He covers tons of ground with his stride even though he isn't an explosive athlete he's a good one and his stride helps him get from point A to point B quickly. He can drive both sides and finish with both hands. He legit has shown the ability to be a complete player, score at all 3 levels on offense while being able to move his feet and stick with his man on defense.

Also he sounds like he has a decent head on his shoulders, pretty well spoken in interviews.

Welcome to the bandwagon man.

Man we DESPERATELY need another first rounder.

If we walk out of this draft with Lewis and Sasser I'll cream myself. Imagining a prime Maxwell Lewis alongside a prime Scottie Barnes is a very nice thought. If only GTJ had half the game Lewis flashes instead of being a catch and shoot and pullup chucker who deflects a couple passes every game.
