I have a feeling it will not look good in 10 years, but then again nobody will care in 10 years where he had him.

The Jarace Walker take the guy has is really odd.

Jarace has elite combine stats, but none of it comes through at all in the games. He's not a great shot blocking presence, and he's a horrible interior scorer.

"Best athlete in the draft other than Victor" are you sure about that, why didn't he ever use any of these gifts at any point then.

He just chucked up a ton of midrange shots and missed most of them.

Like, if Jarace Walker could translate his combine numbers to actual games, he's an elite prospect... I don't know if that will happen though? Harrison Barnes was a combine monster and he never played athletic at all.

(How did Harrison Barnes have a 38 inch no-step at 230 pounds, that was amazing)

Harrison Barnes famously ranked his standing reach to get that vert. Similar to Podziemski this year.

lmao, Barnes somehow pulled off an 8'5.5" standing reach????

Was he barely lifting his arms.

Great work by his agent, I didn't know players did that back in 2012.

Also, Podz seems really stupid for doing that. If people take his numbers seriously at all (they won't), then they'll probably be much more alarmed by him being measured at an 8'0.5" standing reach than impressed by his vert.

The Henderson vs. Miller debate has got to be the most exhausting top 3 debate in all my years on RealGM (since Charlotte came back into the league)

Even Oden vs. Durant wasn't like this

I think it's because people kept saying that that Scoot was miles above the next dude until one day Scoot was bricking 3's & Miller was getting his shine on. Really took the Scoot guys by surprise that he was getting passed on a lot of boards so they took their frustrations out with anger.

This kid is getting way too much hype. He's going to underwhelm.

With the new ownership I bet they opt to trade the second pick and pick up Zion. Charlotte has sucked long enough for them to make a swing like this

Melo & Zion would be crazy entertaining. The hive would be popping like back when Grandmama & them boys were there. Who here didn't have one of those hornets starter jackets back in the day?

Do you know Neymar, the soccer player?

A while ago some woman said she had received texts from him via Twitter or Instagram.

He was basically trying to get her for a little "party".

Amongst those texts, which she shared, was one in which Neymar said, and I'm roughly translating this to english, "I'm longing for the moments we haven't lived yet"... which turned out to be a popular meme in the brazilian internet space. Take a look here.

That's the same relationship Big J has with those Hornets teams... :lol:

Damn, y'all caught me, it's all good. Hornets really should get Zion if he's available though.

Yah, his claim to "fame" is just having really out there draft takes, and when you do that some of them hit, but a lot of them also miss really badly (I looked through a few of them and a lot were just as bad as the great ones were great). Interesting to hear contrarian perspectives, but there's also very little analysis justifying these differences, so it ends up being sensationalized rather than interesting.
