Re: Bringing The Thunder: The JT Thor Thread
Thor looked like the best of last years draft picks and is nearly two years younger than Kai/Bouk (-19 months/-23 months), but he still doesn't get much discussion in other threads. The bar was very low and its a small sample size, but its still interesting.

Scottie is going to be bringing the thunder to the toilet after drinking all that milk while being lactose intolerant.

During their Charlotte introductory press conference, both of our new rookies said that JT was the Hornets player that reached out to them post draft and congratulated them on coming to Charlotte.
I thought that was pretty cool of JT.

I heard Miles drank dialed them and 'Melo would've hit them up but thought his phone was a kaleidoscopic cockroach.

Considering some think LaMelo should be running our FO you’d think LaMelo would have been first to call his new teammates and not be shown up by a second year, 2nd round pick Swam player!!

Re: Bringing The Thunder: The JT Thor Thread
I'm curious for all of those that wanted Eason, what does he do that Thor doesn't? I ask this truthfully, not to entrap someone.
I see Eason as a 21-year old 6'8" 215lb combo forward that hustles, plays outstanding defense, great in transition and has a jumper.
I see Thor as a 19-year old 6'9" 206lb combo forward that hustles, plays great defense, rebounds and has a three-ball.
On a roster with so much young talent that they're trying to sift through, would Eason not have been redundant....especially with PJ and Miles here cluttering up the 3/4 spots?
I say this as a fan of Eason that wanted him at 15. In hindsight, I'm understanding more why we opted to make one player selection and trade the other pick.

Eason is much more quick, like a guard, despite a big body, big hands, and a knack for stealing the ball effortlessly. Think Gerald Wallace, whereas Thor is more methodical like Paul Millsap. Maybe Thor gets there in a couple years, but it would take a lot of development and hard work.

lol remember last year when JT Thor was one of the youngest players in the NBA and now he looks yoked out of his mind and is still literally 19 years old

Also its good to have as many big wings that defend and shoot as you can possibly play. I know the Miles thing wasn't really predictable, but he and/or Hayward could have just as easily had injuries and missed tons of games. The trade from this years draft was so dumb its hard to wrap my mind around.

48% actually
he's hit a 3 in all of them except one, and he didn't attempt one that game
I hope this is real, we could use some 3&D dudes in here
investigate Adam Silver
