Wonder what Sasha is doing with them?

Taking into account depth perception, Oladipo looks to be about the same height as Doron Lamb, if not slightly taller.

And wtf is Vujacic doing there?


Looks about 2 1/2 to 3 inches shorter than Moe too.

I'm pretty sure they meant Nik Vucevic.

It's hard to tell in that pic, but Dipo does tend to hunch over a lot.

I've been conflicted over this. Does he really hunch or does he just have a really short neck?

He has a short neck AND he plays hunch backed.

I was thinking "The Gift" would be a good nickname, but apparently it is Granger's nickname :roll:

They weren't hanging out with him. It was Vucevic.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

They probably don't want to talk physics with him. Or he just sucks at Playstation.

They didn't interview him. Every year there is 1 or 2 players that don't get around to that station for some reason.

I'm doing some deep knee bends and hammy stretches in my office as a show of solidarity with the team as they go through their first practice.
