Kind of wonder if we would have even gotten Ace had he had a real agent.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Ace has 2.5 more inches of wingspan and 6 more inches of height on Donovan. Donovan’s standing reach was 8’ 1” and Ace’s is 8’11.5”

Ace at sg could be a beast. Also kind of understand why he just rises up on dudes.

Can he guard smaller quicker players?

Can he guard smaller quicker players?

I think the better question is, will they be able to guard him?

I think the better question is, will they be able to guard him?

If he’s busting his *** trying to stay with these smaller quicker guards then is he going to have the stamina to be full gear on offense ge in game out year after year?

Can he guard smaller quicker players?

absolutely - his lateral movement/quickness is one of his greatest strengths at his size. he does a great job of staying in front of smaller guards. now that was at the college level and the NBA is a different beast so he'll have to adjust, but he has the athleticism to do it.

The 180 turn where we know love Omar

Where the **** is everyone finding these 2" shoes? Every gym shoe I've ever owned, even the high end ones, added maybe an inch in height. I swear it is becoming like Fletch "6'4", 6'10" with the shoes".

My rule is 1 inch plus rounding (usually up).

Now the next question is... How do we get both AJ and Boozer's son? Any ideas, guys?

Getting that NOP/MIL pick somehow. It will land top-7, almost guaranteed.

One of the reasons I think his paint/rim numbers can improve is how quick he is on and off his feet. I think he’s been settling a bit and operating off of some antiquated assumptions that don’t consider math almost at all.

We’ll have to keep Karl Malone away from him.
