@Watson @Old Man Game But how tall is Chuck Hayes or Carl Landry. These small hard work types can make it when they're really good. And Howell's standing reach at 8'9.5" is better than both those guys.

@AlexR44 My sentiments exactly. I mean yes, 25 isn't great for a normal prospect but how about some context Chad.
@Watson @Old Man Game Howell? Yeah he was never going to make it off length. Going to have to outwork guys if its going to happen.
I'm sure glad I cancelled my Insider account a long time ago. Otherwise tweets like this from Chad Ford would lead me to the trouble of doing it now.

Yes, a 25" vertical isn't great. Unless you're standing reach is damn near at the rim anyway in which case it seems totally adequate.
@Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling I think Shane Larkin has an outside chance to be at least a very productive player. He's small but he's got great athleticism and uses the PnR really well. I think he could be like a super athletic JJ Barea.
@f5alcon @KD4theWin If he goes top 10 it just means another decent, perhaps more immediate contributor falls to us. Win-win.
@KD4theWin Unfortunately this on the other hand

@KD4theWin That's flat out awesome.
@TrueChamp What I notice there, he's just playing, not thinking. I think the guy could still be pretty good once he gets comfortable. Certainly good enough to contribute to a second unit.
@Tronchaser @Old Man Game Maybe just Reggie, Lamb, Jones, Nick, Hash.
@Sustainable Parameters @Old Man Game But, but Trammel... oh crap. You're right.
I missed out on the early discussion. Anyone else pumped reading Trammel's article form the bolts? Reggie = 6th man; Lamb = rotation player. Sign me up.
@Tronchaser Work on that shooting from range Reggie. Could be awesome.
@Watson @Old Man Game You want to be really annoyed, go back and look at how he finished around the rim pre-ACL injury.
New rule,
Any big man whose shot chart is red in the restricted area doesn't get to be a full time starter.

[by the way, scanning backwards from year to year it's pretty clear Perkins' offense is only getting worse.]
@Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling @Bryson Flip over to distribution, almost 96% of his shots are around the rim.
@Stephen Jackson is not about this spelling @Old Man Game @Bryson Not sure what he looked like in high school, but here's Tyson's shot chart. Seems plausible the 7'2" guy with cray long arms and reportedly good hands could match this.

@ThunderChick2010 @Tronchaser @TrueChamp And therefore Tronchaser is CRM. Getting Da Vinci code here.
