    The guy seems to have the best outside shot of all the power forwards not including Novak. Has height compared to Hayes. Get on the bandwagon now.

    He's taller than Hayes. Hayes MIGHT be 6'5". Landry is 6'8".

    mentioned this in the other thread, if he can learn to pass, he can be a poor-man's Webber.

    yeah he's pretty badass. too bad he didn't box out and get that last rebound after lowry's missed FT tho.

    he's really kicking ass though. I want him to go to the dleague with brooks for a year and develop his game.

    Actually the guy reminds me of Kenny Thomas with a better jumper and less athleticism.

    Sorry Land(ry)-lubbers. I'm afraid his bandwagon is more of a wheelbarrow. Landry is barely 6-7, can't get a shot off among pro-caliber players, isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and doesn't have any skill that stands out. At least Novak has range on his shot.

    I wouldn't let him hear me saying that. His headbutt will cave your ****ing skull in.

    Tonight's Landry is who I thought we drafted. He can stay sharp in the NBDL this season.

    Sorry:

    He's 6'8.6" in shoes

    He CAN get his shot off inside and outside (Note: 18 footers indicate range )

    Where do you get the idea he doesn't have any bball IQ? You're pulling that statemtent out of your butt.

    Are you implying he has the head case temperment -- without the skills -- of a Ron Artest?

    Summer league assessments and pre-draft measurements (6-8.5 in high heel sneakers on tiptoes).

    LOL. I knew it! I saw this thread coming from miles away. Up until yesterday he's still on most people's cut list. Some couldn't wait to see him packing to pave way for say Mike Harris. After one good preseason game against a sucky team's scrubs, he has his own bandwagon. You guys are so predictable! :D

    He's cerianly light years ahead of butler and is better then hayes on offense. i say keep him as a 3rd string PF. That early 2nd round pick might turnout to be allright After all.

    BTW, I was very dissapointed in scola tonight. didnt have hes usual spark. the whole team besides james, head, landry and francis to a certian degree were going through the motions.
