it's confusing for sure from an individual stats standpoint, but it actually makes a ton of sense from a practical standpoint. I've been calling for the nba to implement it for 6 or 7 years. takes out one of the most boring aspects of the game and doesn't affect the game at all in terms of overall scoring and FT%.
he does have a chance to be better than lamar odom.
I just dont see it at all.
I guess... I'm just not a big believer in the concept of the "next (insert name or scenario)" type of thinking. Many times there isn't another perfect scenario... but its a copy cat league and folks are looking at successful transactions and saying "hey lets do that".
I'm not saying he's the next Lauri, but it's just a benefit for drafting internationally for guys who have clear paths to be the best player on their national team.
He looked good. He's pretty skinny, but his listed weight isnt too bad. He's very fluid and he took a couple of jumpers in the scrimmages that looked promising. Shocked he didnt get invited to the Combine, especially with PJ Hall over him.
taevion kinsey, a guy i seem to be alone in really liking as a second round prospect who can stick in the league, didn't measure great, but decent at 6'5" with shoes and an excellent span at 6'10.5". i was hoping drew peterson would have a longer ws. sir'jabari rice with excellent numbers - big time sleeper in the 2nd round as well.
I find it hard to believe he pulled out of the combine for a promise at 28.
