Well he has yet to work out for the raptors either.......

butr

Yes. But if BC knew he were his guy. And he has the pipeline to know everything about his game, demonstrated or not at Duke, BC does not need to work him out.

This is my conspiracy. If you take it at face value then you just think the promise is ATL and that's fine.

I've been the one touting SW's game beyond the scouting report because I've watched him more than anyone on the board. I also know that there is even more there than I've seen that only coach K and his staff knows. We ALL know that MK has a relationship with JC in PHX who now has no real loyalty to anyone but family now that Sarver has taken over. With all the problems TOR has up front, MK is the man to know if SW can do it, and BC has a better chance to know the truth about that than anyone.

how do you feel about Sheldon measuring 6'7 3/4"?

butr

I addressed that in many other threads across bbb.net. They play in shoes, and he said he is a shade under 6-9 in those. I don't care ballers ball. In this day and age, pure height does not matter.


I would have put him in as my starting 5 6 months ago and I'll put him there now at whatever that barefoot number is. I could have told anyone that would have been the number. He is 6-9 in shoes. Everone is listed in the AA or A in their shoe height. take 1-2" away and you have barefoot height.

If anything, BC has proven he does not care about "typical" centres.

Aldridge: 8 bench presses of 185 lbs
Sheldon: 25 presses of 185 lbs

There are conspiracy theories, and then there are conspiracy theories. THAT is a conspiracy theory. I like it.

FanOfAll8472

Me too. That's interesting. I like this theory. You could have a basic (and probably at this moment, flawed) depth chart of:
Telfair (or Jack)/Calderon
MoPete/Graham
CV3/Graham
Bosh/CV3/Bonner
Williams/Bosh

That would be a solid team.

PersianPlaya18

^^agreed....except it almost certainly won't be Telfair.

long arms cant bench as much as short ones, its already known. id take that with a grain of salt. compare their wing spans instead.

cv3bandwagon

Well seeing how Sheldon has a freakish 7'4 wingspan, that's quite amazing. Actually I think Lamarcus has the shorter wingspan then Sheldon.

butr

No. The fact that it makes people think that Bargnani is the only pick for the Raps BECAUSE Gherardini was hired as Ast. GM is an aid to a smokescreen. They did not hire him for a smokescreen.

butr

I'll take that. Shelden is pretty long, and 25 to 8 is not exactly 25 to 18 if you were to use that argument. You realise he has long arms right, that's one of the reasons he had 3.8 blks a game.

l2owen

hes got long arms true. but you have to take into account the whole proportion of the guys size. guys with broader shoulders can have shorter arms but can measure the same length as guys who have narrow shoulders but longer arms. besides a bench press is not indicative of how good a center is gonna play . hoffa lifted the most of any at the rookie combines , and that didnt really do him any good. either way it doesnt really matter how much a guy can press . whats more important for blocking is standing reach .
