why are yal acting like zion isn't in amazing shape?

dude's conditioning went to another level at duke

people have a certain image of what they think in shape is when looks don't exactly correlate to it...Once this dude gets to an NBA regiment and nutrition and cutting edge supplements/technology that these dudes use his fitness level will elevate.

he’s prolly above 15 (if you’re talking a real test).

He can afford to drop some weight given how heavy he is

You know just as well as me we have to stop using scale weight lets stick to bodyfat...But you also want him to stay above a certain point if he can get down to 10-12 body fat I think that will help his potential longevity....That is why I keep looking at Larry Johnson and Weatherspoon you remember their build they were strong as ox and explosive especially Larry Johnson.

Yeah I know, that’s why I said a real test

Whatever they do at the nba combines isn’t legit

Of course you can cherry pick the people who rated the draft high...
Nope again. Those are the first 3 from google search. Consensus was Phoenix had a great draft.

This shyt is largely a crapshoot and they dont actually know shyt.

I liked Cam Johnson. He reminded me of a less athletic taller Klay as a prospect. Klay developed into the player he is today, can't wait to see how Cam develops.

Jalen Lecque left the NBA combine early after his agent received so much positive feedback

He went undrafted

YOOOO FIRE YOUR AGENT MY nikka

He's going to Phoenix. Most second round picks who are good nowadays are asked by teams to try not get picked then get signed to a longer structured deal. Have to double check but I think he got 4 years. 2 guaranteed


Edit. Yup

Phoenix Suns To Sign Jalen Lecque To Four-Year Deal

Yeah obviously taking him at 11 was a reach when they could have gotten him 10 or more spots later, but if they tried to move back again and couldnt find any takers by the time they were up, Im not mad at just taking the guy you really like :manny: Plus there's no guarantees someone else wont take the guy you want early. I had Hachimura and Hayes in the 20s and they went 8 and 9.

Bottom line is Johnson is the best shooter in the draft and the Suns were the worst 3pt shooting team last year. If all he does is knock down open looks created by Book, Ayton, etc then that will be very valuable to this team and no one will care where he was drafted.

I agree it is a crap shoot...But shyt at least role with the odds on your side...the suns routinely defy that...The suns are one of the teams where if they would of just followed the majority of mock drafts or sites like draft Express likely would be in a better position.
