I know that's the FIBA rule, but I haven't heard anything at all about the NBA thinking of changing their rule to match FIBA. Not going to happen.

Stern was talking about it in 2011 and they tried it in D-league with positive results. But with him gone you are right - it may not happen. Althought it would be great change for the game as offensive/defensive goaltending call is the one which is the most subjective and difficult to get it right.

That and they are true 7 footers. Both move well and are athletic. Both are long. Both seem to enjoy playing D and blocking shots. Both are very thin. Both struggle offensively with a lack of shooting touch. Both have good hands. Both are raw overall prospects.

So, uh, yeah, just a little more than skin tone.

Good comp, foj.

The main way you would describe Mcgee is freak athlete. Gobert is someone that moves decent for a guy his size. HUGE difference.

Stupid that I just had to type that out^

Listening to Locke's webcast thing and he says Olynyk hit 63/100 3 pointers for the Jazz during his workout. Slightly disappointed we didn't get him as new Okur, but Gobert should be cool too.

I have to wonder what Kanter could do with some consistent reps.

Thing about Kanter though is that he is such a beast down low so they are probably hesitant in letting him shoot the 3. He could start settling for bad jumpers instead of shots around the rim.

Pretty sure foj made it a point to acknowledge the difference in athletic ability. But it's cute that despite the fact that you were wrong about the similarities between the two players and you know it, you still won't to admit it.
