Balta1701 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 24, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) He IS rising up a bit, but his agent saying he's a stretch 4 and can shoot the jumper but then not showing it is an error IMO. Supposedly he was working on an outside game during the season but never showed it also. I believe he also had some fairly excellent athletic numbers at the NBA combine, including one of the highest jumps ever for a guy 7 feet or above.

What? He didn't show it? IU fans were saying he had great jumper back in November. He was lighting it up in practice! Sure he never showed anything of a consistent jumpshot in a regular game. They're still sure he's a plus shooter probably. He is rising because he tested well athletically. His arms are still short and he hasn't proven anything against good competition. He'll probably go top 10 because this draft is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this "he has a jumper" but never showing it is a mistake. Just call yourself a 5 and say you are going to bulk up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 QUOTE (Boogua @ May 24, 2013 -> 11:44 AM) Lateral quickness is a part of athleticism. A dunk video? Seriously? Is Jacob tucker a better athlete than Scottie pippen too? Who? Anyway, George is taller, longer and can jump higher. The dunk vid I posted just cinched it. There ain't five mofos in the world that can do that s***. Lateral is probably a wash. It is what it is, dude. George is right there with healthy back Dwight, Blake, Westbrook, LeBron, pre-vagina Rose, Josh Smith, AI2 as the sickest athletes the sport has ever seen.

Well, Phil is like 70 or somethin' around there. I can understand how the brain deteriorates when you're that old. That's like saying to start a team you'd go with Mutombo over LeBron. Nonsense.

But after he sucked post-contract to Thibs he really owes the Bulls a discount when you pair that with them allowing him to play for Great Britain last summer. His offense has been complete s*** since the wrist injury. Get the damn surgery. If no discount from Lu, ship him out for a SG and move Jimmy to SF.
