Meyers Leonard is almost a legit 7' barefoot and is only 5.7% body fat. He's got a big frame that can easily add 20 more pounds and a 9'+ standing reach. Seeing as he's not totally unskilled, sign me the hell up. The worst he can be is Robin Lopez.
Think Leonard will be drafted before #14, the experts on ESPN easily see him being drafted in the top 10.
What kind of shoes is Andre Drummond wearing? 2" soles? lol Anyone else in that list have a 2" difference in barefoot vs shoe height.
Morey sitting next to McHale, playing with his BlackBerry. McHale talking to Knicks consultant Mark Warkenstien. Gerson Rossas sitting next to and talking to Bobcats GM Rich Cho. What does this mean? Probably nothing at all.
Seems like there's a lot more confidence within this draft than usual....so many more of them seem self aware of their strengths and the need to improve on certain weaknesses.
Hmmm... The Rockets want to trade up, the Bobcats want to trade their pick, and the Rockets own the Knicks first round pick.....hmmmm.... I smell a rumour.
I started a thread on him in the GARM. Watching the combine, I can't help but be impressed. I wish we'd trade up and get him. He could be the perfect fit in our system, in my opinion. A taller, tougher, Scola? An early Shawn Kemp? A Blake Griffin-esque player? Robin Lopez? Othella Harrington? Who knows? Worth a gamble, though.
I'm gonna e-mail Bill Ingram and tell him the Rockets are about to send Lowry, Morris, Ppat, and the #14 to Charlotte; Charlotte will send the #2 and Tyrus Thomas to NY; so NY will get the #2, their original #16 pick and TThomas, while we get Carmelo Anthony.....and it's all about to happen RIGHT NOW! He'll post it as fact, and there will be your rumour.
Private Tweet him that from a non-public, randomized account "D8^_rt43-df", and start by saying "Hey David, big news .." then quickly tweet again saying, "Please disregard, my last tweet was meant for another person."
These measurements make me even more of a Kyle O'Quinn fan. Kinda stinks that Tyler Zeller's standing reach was 8'8"
He could have had a bad measurement day: http://www.brewhoop.com/2008/6/22/543088/measurement-error-explorin Standing reach measurements have varied at different settings by 2-3 inches for a number of players.
There's always one every year. I remember I couldn't believe my eyes when the 2010 combine measurements were released and I saw that Cole Aldrich had a 2.25'' difference in barefoot vs. shoe height. What does that mean?
He must've - either that or he has a disorder. A 6'11.25'' guy having an 8'6.5'' standing reach (standing reach is measured in shoes and Zeller has 1.5'' heals) is equivalent to a 6'0'' (barefoot) guy having a (barefoot) standing reach of 7'5.5''.
