idiots on that site switched up the 2 carters --> they clearly switched up he and wendell carter's reach and wingspan measurements, don't be stupid actually thinking jevon carter has a 9'1" reach and wendell only 7'11"


exactly, see above. wendell is not 191 and jevon carter is not 250, again they switched up their weights.



here's someone who actually thinks and uses their brain/eyes



see above regarding jevon carter. Those are not his numbers.

Nah I know I was talking about his 6’5 wingspan. Solid with his tape on defense.

Can bamba please slip to #18 so the great Tim Duncan can show him the fundamentals and so Aldridge can show him how to hit unfathomable fadeaway jumpers :damn::damn::damn::damn:


Isaac Haas made it to the combine? Isn't he getting sued for giving the herp to some girl :dead:

my biggest takeaway is that zhaire smith (despite his wingspan) is quite shorter than expected + has small hands, especially for someone who's game is more SF than SG. I've said it before, but dude is a bust waiting to happen. despite his defensive potential, he is so behind in ball skills and shooting (don't be fooled by his 3 pt %, he only shot 40 total 3's all year) for someone projected to go so high. rawle alkins is also shorter than he appears while trier s slightly taller than i expected. jaylen hands is tiny as are trae young, devonte graham, aaron holiday, and sexton although sexton and holiday have some length relative to their height. Svi gets the T-rex award w/ a super short wingspan for his height. melvin frazier is long as fukk (pause)

Smith got a 4s offensive game in a 2’s body rn. Like him but teams thinking he can contribute right away on a winning team are gonna be short

and he's barely in a 2's body at that. he also has small hands. i hate his game and am so confused why he's so hyped up. defensively, he's a smaller MKG w/o the same pedigree or IQ. offensively, he's a much shorter gerald green w/o the same shooting ability; basically all athleticism at this point. i would bet the farm that he's a huge bust relative to where he's picked. best case scenario to me is a norman powell type player, but that's not worthy of being chosen where he's being projected.

shake milton, khyri thomas, and okogie measured very favorably...shamet is also taller than I expected but not a huge wingspan. i thought allen would reach 6'5" w/ shoes (he's seemed the same height or taller when i've seen him next to redikk) but 6'4.5" ain't bad especially since his arms appear longer than prior measurements. 6'7.25" is good for him especially relative to other duke white SGs redikk and kennard who have t-rex arms. he's shown that he can play some PG which helps his value at his size. also has huge hands which alot of other guards seem to have in this draft. will be interesting to see shooting and athletic testing numbers to help start separating some of these guys in the 20-40 range.

Bruh how exactly is Young going to get his shot off? The craft he has isn't some crazy shyt and the athleticism is putrid. I try to stay away from that bust shyt before the 3 year mark but I need to at least see an end game for some of these cats. I don't see it with dude.

I am somewhat down on him as well
