    Agree. And he's still young. If he balls out he may get another chance via Summer League.

    I have said he sucked based on performance which is true, but his professionalism and humility is top notch
    Lots of players work their way like Patrick Beverley
    Went all over the place and continued to improve

    I personally thought he was better than Isaiah Hartenstein but I'm not an expert in basketball :oops:

    I thought he was too, but being better than Hartenstein doesn't mean much at all.

    The biggest problem with Zhou is he is too thin and got injured when he tried to put on more weight. If his frame could have handled 30-40+ more pounds he would've been an NBA player easily with his height, mobility and aggressiveness.

    30-40 pounds without losing mobility? You must be nuts.

    His biggest problem is that he isn’t good enough at basketball.

    ??? Thats why I said if he could have done that he wouldve made it to the NBA. His weight is 95 kg he needs to be in the Cousins/Marjonic range 120 kg+. He is mobile but isnt athletic like a Clint Capela.

    He is good enough to be a pro player so he is already good enough at basketball. His problem is the physical limitations of his race you can't tell me Boban Marjanovic and De Andre Jordan are super skilled lol if they had Qi's body they also wouldnt be in the NBA.

    You realize that in order for events to be considered circumstantial, they have to actually occur right? You also can’t use fabricated scenarios as evidence.

    Holic, can I use you as a case study in business psychology? You represent Illusory Association much better than the current example.

    This effect is a kind of biased interpretation, in that objectively neutral or unfavorable evidence is interpreted to support existing beliefs. It is also related to biases in hypothesis-testing behavior. In judging whether two events, such as illness and bad weather, are correlated, people rely heavily on the number of positive-positive cases: in this example, instances of both pain and bad weather. They pay relatively little attention to the other kinds of observation (of no pain and/or good weather). This parallels the reliance on positive tests in hypothesis testing. It may also reflect selective recall, in that people may have a sense that two events are correlated because it is easier to recall times when they happened together.

    I think he's banned for the time being. Might be a while before he can respond.
