No, you'd lose $100.


Remember that soccer team that won it all like 10 years ago? I think they had worse odds. Could be worth a flyer


That team was very decent, have been up & down since then.

You do mean Leicester City?

They use their hands a lot more than underweight people do.

You wont see many players at this level if they were overweight AND had bad touch.

Morning team, anyone know if Walker Kessler and Leandro Bolmaro will be playing for the jazz during the Vegas tourney? Also, anyone got some insight to these two? They kind of got hidden between all the first round picks Minnesota gave up. But two First round picks looking for for more info on.

This dudes talent was obvious. I was screaming on the Knicks board for us to take him @11.. The question should be why didn't the other ~10 teams below 21 make this pick?


He's really bad defensively.


I disagree, why?


Because i don't see it, he looks like lauri on d his rookie season, and it's hard to base it over 3 sl games.

don't overreact to a perfect storm of circumstances

undrafted guy with a chip on his shoulder that has a current physical advantage vs a physically undeveloped prospect who may be feeling himself after a couple nice games and HEAVY media praise

I'm not just talking about this game, also talking about the other game he has played.

" Supposedly" and we got this from HOU workouts, 6'10-1/2 withOUT shoes.

But before the draft lotto we were thinking we were in the 4-6 range and Keegan was in our radar. There were the usual board arguments that he was 6'6-1/2 barefoot to 6'10 with shoes on.
