    Not middling at all. Upper third for PG. Those times are really good

    Sheppard is a slightly better athlete than Bronny James. Who only has athleticism as a skillset.

    Good that 38 year old uncle Dalton managed 4.9 rebounds a game vs college competition.....I don't see that translating to being a significant rebounder in the NBA.

    Castle seems redundant when we already have Thompson, a big defensive guard who can't shoot from outside. Hard to imagine any non-shooting guard being better than Amen.

    In the draft forum we talked about Knecht and you called him an unathletic dude who can’t defend.

    Those numbers actually make me feel better about him.

    It also matches the film which is also reassuring. Hes not a ++Athlete...but hes not a "bad athlete" like people were claiming. Im guessing because he is white.

    Reed should be our pick. He immediately takes Holidays minutes he was getting at the least. Once Fred is gone (maybe sooner) he takes on a bigger role.

    Yes that's before the draft combine scores showed he was indeed athletic. I base it on data available like any person who isn't locked on and extremely biased vs any prospect.

    Where's the RS scores on agility and shuttle run? You said I was a liar you don't even know how he fared?

    RS averaged even less Rebs so....you realize Knecht is always shooting from 3 right? He isn't exactly in the lane looking for Rebs he's the one scoring for his entire team. RS is just chilling as the 4rth guy on his team.

    I posted the combine results. I thought you had seen them and were saying they were bad

    Bronny's athletic numbers at the combine are basically identical to Sheppard's.

    Exactly. Reed is a slightly better all around. And athleticism is all Bronny had
