I just don't know how the Cavs with a glaring hole at the 2 could pass on Wiggins.

Yea, if there is any truth to the Carmello interest then that really pushes the pick toward Wiggins.

show me this video of him from 8th grade that makes him look so fat, he looks like a normal 13 year old in the pics/vids I see.

him and Rose probably younger than that even

Did you see the video that was posted yesterday of on of Jabari's 7th grade games? Kid was a fat little sh*t. Looked like Dough Boy as a kid from Boyz N the Hood.

I'd say there's 1% chance Melo would go to CLE.

I'm not a fan of Waiters, but he's at least the second best player on that team.

Who do the Cavs realistically have a shot at getting in free agency?

I imagine Carmelo would only even consider Cleveland if Lebron were also going to go there.

And I'd think it'd be odd to have your draft decision impacted by a potential free agent you may try to pursue after the draft is over. Ok, still holding out hope they go with Parker.

I've watched it and he doesn't look fat. He looked like a kid that will end up a solidly put together 6'9" 255 and not some string bean but he aint fat. Maybe the baggy jerseys and shorts are fooling you into seeing what your mind wants you to see.

I thought you didn't draft for need or fit?

Are people really debating Jabari's body fat while he was in f*cking 7th grade? Jesus guys, it's a little sad. :lol:

They're balls deep into Win-Now.

With Deng heading into unrestricted free agency I'd argue Cleveland has a more glaring hole at the three than the two if we're still distinguishing wings. Waitors/Dellavedova is superior to Alanzo Gee/Sergay Karasev

who wasn't a little overweight in middle school?

geez i loved me some moutain dew, pizza, and chips

once he learns how to eat properly and works with some elite trainers, i have no doubt he'll get more cut up. he'll never be rose or wiggins, but he'll be more than fine.

lis, i'd rather deal with those guys if i was a trainer than guys like henson. so much easier taking weight off than putting good weight on.

nothing wrong with not liking his game or whatever, but his body is fine.

If all goes perfectly, we could have a starting five of:

Mudiay
Wiggins
Giannis
Maker
Embiid

:droop:

JayMKE · Post #817 » by **JayMKE** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 5:06 am

so the poll adds up to 101%

For the record, I'm not saying that Jabari being a chunker in middle school matters to me at all, or makes me worry about his current conditioning or his conditioning down the road. I'm just disagreeing with JayMKE when he said he didn't look fat back then.

th87 · Post #819 » by **th87** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 5:11 am

Not that it really matters, but I highly doubt he's at 11%. You'd start to look pretty ripped by then.

I was a goddamn shrimp in middle school. Don't think I cracked 100 pounds until the summer before I started 8th grade.

Parker or Wiggins?
