Good comp. He's actually got his FT% up to 71.4%. The first game I saw of him, his form looked so bad that I figured he'd be below 50%.

dude has CCJ's physique and Dat's hops

But... does he have Wizardynasty's hips?

The pure Zions says a 285 lb manster with that kind of explosive leaping ability is almost sure to have knee/hip issues. Can he get that weight closer to 260?

I JUST CANNOT DO IT. :noway:

Tix for Duke in Maui are going for like $1500. UPWARDS of $500 for some rinky dink seats in a small gym. I don't have it like that.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Wow, I could understand that for an NCAA tournament game but for an early season game? That's nuts.

Terrible landing mechanic. Those knees will not hold out with the way he lands. blake griffin 2.0.
Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands

I and many here said we should have drafted Gary Clark. He's finding a good niche in Houston. He is a quality player.

Actually, I did, & Nat did. But, i don't remember you ever writing that we should draft Gary Clark. Can you point to where you wrote that?

You are aware, aren't you, that no one drafted Gary Clark?

Can you point to where you said we should sign him after he went undrafted?

Don't mean to suggest you are telling a falsehood, but memory sometimes does play that kind of trick....

I know Clark went undrafted.

This was the first time I believe I said anything about Clark. April 19th 2018 in the first 2018 NBA Draft Thread.

I wanted him to be a Wizard but I believe the morning after draft day Houston had already signed him to a deal. Hence, I don't know if I mentioned his named after Houston signing him but still advocated for drafting him many times in the draft thread prior to draft day.

I love this kid hes a great player. Advanced stats were amazing in college and has a good attitude as a person.
