What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Parker's basement pick is 4. And I believe he goes 2.

I dunno, I'm not so sure now, he will be the first Tongan athlete ever in the NBA... I have my reservations about his "fatness". There just aren't a lot of comps to go off of...


Carrying that fat around for 82 games ain't gonna be easy....


I mean, you can relate to that right???

Yep. As a past NBA player of half Tongan blood.. I feel for Jabari.
 
expectations

If you're an athletic freak, the combine is good for you.

If you're not, it's bad

If people think you are an athletic freak but are not sure it can help. It is all about how you perform versus expectations. If you are more athletic than you are given credit for, then go.
 
Which half???
