That is not a discrepancy at all. Genetics play a part -- it is clearly both nature and nurture. Some people are clearly predisposed to certain body types.

I was just disproving your statement that "its not about eating habits" where you were arguing it is just "nature"


That said "some people can and some people can't" -- well, that can be nature or nurture as well. I had a friend who swore she "couldn't" lose weight despite exercising constantly eating like a bird and could not lose weight. Everyone was like "poor girl has a hormone problem" It was a great story, but I got to know her, have dinners with her and understand her habits (my coffee = her double mocha, sitting on the sofa every night watching TV, dessert with lunch and every meal). She said she "can't" when she was just choosing not to. Put her in a room for a month with <2000 calories per day, she'd lose a ton of weight. If you burn more calories than you consume, you lose weight. Its physics, law of conservation of energy.

This is true. Every single person on the planet can lose weight. Gaining weight might be a different story though.

I believe that the biggest improvement that you'll see is just based off of schemes.

I really believe that the core players on the team are capable of playing average defense but the schemes the last 3 seasons have been crap.

Thanks again Corbin.

NBA Combine Interview - Julius Randle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCjNPobCiz4

Steve Smith:

"Julius watching you play, everybody talks about your size your strength, playing with your back to the basket, you being able to rebound and defend. But I was impressed - when you kept the basketball and being able to face up and handle, very comfortable with the ball in your hand and can play almost like a 3 vs a power forward, can you just talk about your development and being able to handle the basketball and be comfortable and be versatile".

Great minds think alike.

ALMOST like a 3, vs a POWER FORWARD

Just because some guy said he looked alright handling the ball when being guarded by power forwards in college does not mean he will be able to play small forward in the nba.

I think what he meant was "as opposed to a power forward" as in, everyone thinks he plays the power forward position, but the way he handles the ball, etc, meaning he can almost play the 3 as well as the power forward position.

Randle isn't quick enough to guard PF's tbh.

I know someone who disagrees...

strongly!

Even within a single race, with similar eating habits, some people just cannot seem to put on weight, while others always seem to put on weight so easily.


What would you put that discrepancy down to?

When we're at it twisting words in that interview

Randle said as a direct answer to your highlighted "almost as a 3".
"Me handlin' the basketball is somethin' I've always done. I know especially at my position it is vital because you can cause a lot of mismatch problems and stuff like that"
And he was called a power forward previously. That means he thinks his position is power forward.

I may even use 23rd pick on him. No way he falls to 35. Spurs will take him.

Im not confident Inglis falls to #35 either, i get the feeling that hes rising up draft boards. if Damien's available at 35 and we pass, im going to be pissed. if i had to guess, id say he ends up in Philly @pick 32
