Tyrone Wallace might be decent

Homeytennis' post is interesting in light of this post. Maybe that CFL guy is just a poor judge of athleticism.

He probably is. Compare to other NBA players at his position, he's not a great athlete. Or ya know, just look up any scouting report on the guy. Your call.

KOC's scouting report on Jazznews says the guy is a decent defender that can't shoot a lick. He said he totally needs to change his shooting mechanics. He didn't give much hope for this guy or Paige to make the regular season roster.

The guy he dunked over in the video is 6'11".

Wallace is 6'5 with a 6'9 1/2 wingspan. Dunking over someone who's 6'11 isn't something that should be out of the norm.

Or he's a good friend who's going to say positive things.

Or he's a good friend who's going to say positive things.

Or he's just a really good athlete.

Probably the latter as they grew up together and went to the same high school.

He's just long. Not that quick, and not that explosive. I would never call him a very good athlete, but he can look like one on occasion bc of his length.

I'm with ya on this. That dunk in the video was awesome but i could see a guy like bradley beal or George hill do the same thing if the perfect opportunity came up. Not something they would do often and would be surprising but I think they could do it.
I don't consider hill to be a great athlete.

Now that's some athleticism

Maybe. But as [MENTION=3073]#bern[/MENTION] said every scouting report questions his athleticism. So do my eyes.

 

[homeytennis]

I saw some report that compared him a lot to Exum including the shooting,.

lol, You don't dunk on someone like that just being long.. funny...He might not be a great leaper but being athletic means more then just jumping,,,, He is a good athlete like others have stated. He is easily a guy who I could see bouncing around from NBA team to D League for a couple years and then make a roster. He has the potential to be a lockdown defender if he wants to be

They called him a very good athlete, not a good athlete. Do you understand the difference?
