I couldn't care less if you trust me lol. I'm just putting it out there. Hopefully he gets measured at the Combine. Although it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't. Teams already have these measurements.


I've been in your shoes before man. Lotta envy around here when you have league contacts.

Lol the term "trust me bro " is practically an internet meme.

But yeah... college measurements are extremely suspect ( hint hint 6'8 Cade )

Really not worth thinking about the Dick measurements. All that matters is how you use it!

Kansas vs Baylor today. Very good game to see how hard Dick is.

Will be interested to see him vs all the small guards. When they played NC State, Terq actually defended him really well.

He’s a way better shooter than Chase. Chase played bigger however if that makes sense. Surprised chase never panned out he would have been great in the modern nba


Budinger had insane hops. I wouldn't say Chase didn't pan out as much as injuries derailed his career. Chase showed in Houston he was an NBA-level talent, just started getting knee problems after being traded to Minny.

Odd to see a shooter struggle from the corners compared to the top, but maybe it’s a “has a handle and awareness” thing so he’s had much more practice from the wing and top of the key.

If he’s a bigger, slightly more athletic Kennard, he’ll have a good career.

Meeh, Hayward had wider shoulders. I don't think Dick will be able to fill as much.

Dick seems he'll project as a better shooter and I think it's a tad quicker. Def has more heart.

These are just lazy comps tbh, Huerter and Hayward.
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Yeah Chase was a rotation player, but never hit his supposed potential. He was a great leaper, but didn't do anything else at an above average level. A bit weak physically, not a great ball handler....OK shooter. Never views as a great defender with lack of strength and so-so footspeed. He was kinda this below average player who could jump and do a cool play every now and then. If he could fit a particular role he would've had a greater impact, but he didn't really have any super effective stand out skills in the NBA.

He's not Hayward at all. Talent/style more comparable to Klay.

That's a bit aspirational for Dick but certainly closer to the mark than comparing him to a plus-athlete power wing.

Not even a Nik Stauskas comp anywhere. This board is slacking.
