@Bron42 – Maybe you should check out Rodman again before you say he didn’t play college ball. College is college, whether it’s community level or D-1. On the Tyler comment, maybe YOU didn’t understand what I was saying in my post. I agree with you, kid, that he’s not gonna be a scorer, cause as you said, everyone is taller and has more length. (By the way, if you equate ‘getting to the line against the bigger guys’ as sucking, then you need to fix your perception of the game of basketball) But to say that’s he’s not gonna amount to jack is bull. Cause he sounds alot like Najera to me, or even better, a better shooting Malik Rose, with MUCH better defense on the perimeter. Not great, but who wouldn’t want them on their team. Everyone needs energy and defense son, even I know that defense and energy fall as #1 and #2 as keys to victory. Hansbourgh is gonna be a pest, to everyone’s dismay.

@james p, ya theres no relation between the 2. You can be fat as hell and still do a decent bench since bench press is usually showing abolute strength as opposed to explosive strength..look at nfl linemen, hardly any have low body fat but can put up 225 like 25 reps. the low body fat would relate better to general speed and vert since you need to be explosive for that.

@parker, no ones really worried about lawson, it just sucks that when your MAIN gift is supposedly bein faster than everyone, and 5 people post faster times, it takes alil away of what GMS said made him so special.

@ponky_alolor, O i kno, i was just replyin to another persons comment…And even scola is a stretch since he has post moves and tyler has none. Tyler is a combination of noah and mark madsen.

@92021SpurMD, shows how little ya kno cuz dennis rodman didn’t play in college. And your reasoning sounds stupid. Tyler made a career of bullying smaller guys and sucked in big games against guys who were as strong as him or more athletic. I mean you say “the only thing stopping him is Height and extreme lengths” Thats 98% of the NBA there buddy. and their all better athletes. My original comment was to point out, people get hyped on these stats when i could train half the guys on this site and show them how to put up decent combine stats but if they don’t show the skills in actual games, these stats dont matter. Someone went to me “look, tyler is almost as athletic as blake” meanwhile watch 5 seconds of game tape and you know their not even close. So learn the difference between a hater and someone just statin an opinion kid.

I wouldn’t worry about Lawson’s speed. He’s got court speed. Some dude just can’t put it in 5th gear unless they have to. See Jerry Rice

What people don’t understand is that these stats have more to do with banging for the boards and defense than they do for scoring points. Everyone has different ways of finding the hole, but these numbers don’t lie when it comes to putting in the grit work (if the player isn’t a stupid foul prone player). I’d like to see what Dennis Rodman’s numbers were, and what his projections were out of college. Bron42 (post 30) just sounds like a Hansbrough hater to me. Dude still found ways to put the ball in the hole against the best and strongest college ballers. Height and extreme length seems to be the only things that bother him.

According to this – Eduardo Najera can jump higher then the Wizards Starting Backcourt and as high as Amare Stoudamire…

What does any think of the Derozan – next Vinsanity or next Birthday Cake Gerald Green?

And yeah dime, how is Jermaine Taylor’s stock doing? I think he can ball.
