I see him as a more athletic melo but than again I haven't seen what his jumper looks like in a real game but melo came in with similar hype and on a great team and put up I think 22 and 10

He doesn't have melo's offensive repertoire when he came from cuse. no way he puts up 22 a game. that would make top 2 in scoring right off the bat. Not a chance.

That's good. More power to him.

I'm going to say something that I regularly hear from b-ballers at pick-up games who are short and see something like that... Man, if I were that tall, I would be dunking all the time. :mjpls:

I had a classmate in college and he was on the basketball team. NCAA Mens BBall, Div III. He was probably around 7 feet, white dude, and skinny. In business courses, you usually have group projects. So, we were in the same group and one day during our group project time, I asked him if he could jam. He said yes. :gladbron:

I asked if he jammed a lot, he said... "No, it takes a lot of energy and it wears you out quickly." :shaq2: :ld:

Seriously? I said nothing afterwards. The highest I could ever jump was I could tap the edge of the rim with the last digit of my middle finger, no ball, three steps, and I'm 5'6". It's like "Hit the gym you lazy bum."

Years later, I work in IT in consulting and this new guy joins our project. Tall black dude. I asked him if he played basketball, not to stereotype, but I asked. :manny:
He said yes, he played college and semi-professional basketball in central america or the Caribbean, I forgot where. But, he didn't make it into the show. He got a knee injury in college which followed him into his semi-pro career and he had to eventually quit for knee health reasons. He still played pick-up, but he didn't like playing against guys who didn't play at "a higher level". :boss: Not to be a snob, but because it wasn't fun. He would be regularly jamming the ball often with the other guys, who are also jamming the ball, during pick-up. :myman:

Maybe I didn't read it correctly, but this was a horrible story.
