Often times, college seniors don't even see 240 pounds at the age of 22-23. Even with such an advantage, CMB doesn't really dominate as a defender.

He's nowhere close to Bam.



I was curious how these two stacked up: the undersized PF vs the undersized Center.

The numbers favor CMB more than you might think.

I wasn't making a statistical comparison. I'm saying in terms of skillsets.

He had a good all around game.
I assumed a few of us on the board would follow how he does this season.

He has the scoring chops to be a long term stand in for injury prone Jalen Johnson.


Collin was my man crush last draft cycle.

He's got the chance to be a really unique, special contributor.

Guy is such a unique prospect. Built and has the physicality of a NFL tight end but moves and has the skills of an NBA player. Couldn't understand how people didn't see the vision.

He played well against Wemby and the Spurs. He seems to be a fan favorite of Rap fans already.
