He being whom?

Ha. Crowder.

You realize this post can be held against you?

I'm really not worried. I think Exum ceiling, talent-wise, is something like "Brian Shaw with better outside shooting and worse playmaking ability" and I don't think he is ever going to reach it because of his injuries. He might contribute here and there, have one or two decent seasons (let's say 11 point/5 ast/2 to/42% from the field), but that's pretty much it. Sorry, but, to me, he seems fragile, somewhat soft, not particularly smart and devoided of a good shooting touch from any range.

Until/unless proven otherwise.

Dante looked promising in his 1st game back. He looked way out of sorts last night though.

 

[Tom Pitt]

I agree. He's good, he's a good teammate and he's on a good contract. He's pretty much perfect.

Everyone is buying in right now and there's not too much pressure on anyone. Quin is looking like a genius. We're witnessing the melding of a championship team.

Feel for Alec though. Money-man gonna need to shop at Mr. Mac.

Are you going full on Lavar Ball on us and trying to speak this **** into existence?

He’d be better at the rim with good coaching, and imo, losing weight. I can’t emphasize this enough. Dude does not need to be this big to be in the NBA. He’d be such a better and quicker and bouncier player if he shed about 12 pounds. He’d still be jacked as **** and one of the biggest badasses in the league.

I see a solid first step for a guy that big and an actual ability to get by guys. I just don’t see much lift or fluidity once he goes to take off. Losing weight could help that a lot. He does need to work on his actual finishing ability too though.

I think he'd lose that much weight playing a regular season, but most olaywre go into the year with a little bit more bulk, and condition as the season goes on.

Lol. I didn't realize Wes was talking about Crowder. Yeah Crowder is a bit thick and could lose a bit and maybe be better off .

That was about Crowder. But hell yes, I'm going full Lavar on Dante.

this thread is like premature ejaculation.

People thought Exum looked promising the last 2 games?

This doesn't have to be the case at all though.
