Hoping for Monroe and a second to get involved with a guy like Baldwin.

amen.

Sounds exactly like little cleo.

You realize this guy just said he'd take Denzel Valentine over Buddy Hield.

Maybe I'm just an ignorant first worlder but I'd think maybe his exact birth date is in question but I have a hard time believing his age is a handful of years wrong.

Sounds like he's from a small village in South Sudan. Wouldn't be shocking at all if they didn't know how many years old he is. No birth certificates, typically just farmers and herders, so they don't keep track of things like age.

Let um tell me how many harvests old he is, idc.

I've seen a lot of spinals dude, and this guy is 23.

Hammond pretty much saying they're not sure how old he is.

Even if you like Maker... We could have traded back. Ugh. I'm so confused. Why am I a fan of this team?

Those Aussies in Perth must be idiots if they can't tell the difference between a 5 year old and an 8 year old.

here is the Sudanese high school kid that turned out to be 29.

really uncomfortable with this pick, do not understand it at all at #10 with so many other bigs and the fact we could of traded back and still got this guy probably

Some reddit poster have proof he's 23 years old.

I don't know if a yearbook picture with no year actually listed in the image of the book is "proof" exactly.

Doesn't change my mind. The fact that it's been an issue "forever" also means teams have had ample time to investigate these concerns to whatever ability they could. That's all I'd expect them to do.

Not much you can really do. He wouldn't have had much in the way of documentation when he came over 13 years ago from Sudan.

Then how are you so sure he's 19-21/22 and not 23-24?

AussieBuck · Post #235 » by **AussieBuck** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 1:18 am

Have a think how tall Thon would have been at 10 or 11 and now imagine that kid pretending to be 6 years old in a first world country. So much derp.

LittleRooster · Post #236 » by **LittleRooster** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 1:19 am

Hammond is getting pretty defensive

I wouldn't even say he is 21 at the oldest.. he could be up to 24.

The pick makes no sense. Trade up in the 20s if you want the guy. At 10, it's just a waste of an asset.

That's what we do. It's what we did under the previous regime, and it's what we do under this one. Like Kohl saw something in him that he liked, such as himself.

Who cares about 1st rd picks? Just throw them away for a rental of Vasquez, guys who impress in workouts, and to repay favors.

JayMKE · Post #239 » by **JayMKE** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 1:19 am

I would guess this guy is 23 rather than 19

there's a reason why he's skipping college

Instead of nbdl send him to Giannis's 2nd division Greek team

Can he play SG next to Giannis at PG?
