People saying next Serge Ibaka... best case scenario. All I care about is if he can defend (block shots) and rebound Strengths: -Tremendous physical attributes -Great frame -Long arms -Huge hands -Terrific athlete -Excellent timing as a rebounder. Goes after every loose ball with purpose -Very quick first step -Very good finisher around the rim -Great potential defensively Weaknesses: -Hasn't accepted who he is yet as a player. Thinks he's a small forward -Falls in love with his jumper, which is extremely streaky -Average feel for the game -Makes unforced errors -Bad body language. Goes after his teammates (Won't dare do that to Harden or Dwight) From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz38KNuD9z1 http://www.draftexpress.com
OKC just signed their #1 pick to a D-League contract $25,000. If the NBA approves that then Morey just overpaid Capela because I don't see him getting much floor time for the Rockets.
People said that when we signed PBev from overseas too...you guys need to wait to see him play here before writing him off
It's like people who make comparisons take into account where the player is from, their heritage, what they look like, etc. instead of their actual skills. Just like with Joel Embiid people are saying he is the next Olajuwon. Why? Because he's a skinny black center from Africa who did a "dream shake" once?
Capela should have at least gone to the RGV and looked around a little bit before he decided he didn't want to play in Europe. Europe>RGV.
Maybe it's his life-long dream to live in Mexico, and this puts him one step closer to sneaking across the boarder.
A name that popped into my mind watching some highlights, that I haven't seen mentioned yet as a comp: Darius Miles No "J", thin as a rail, cuts to the hoop like a boss, jumps out of the gym... Anybody see it besides me? Hopefully his head is screwed on a little better. Maybe Capella can contribute something in terms of hustle and junk points before finishing the long process of bulking up to play center (i.e. this year).
Here is the article http://www.welcometoloudcity.com/20...stis-nba-developmental-league-draft-and-stash Others are reporting this is a done deal. The agent said it was arranged before the draft.
In bits and pieces yes. Although Miles was more of a SF with no jumper as to Capela who is more of a PF with no jumper and tremendous defense. Miles has him beat on handles though. But I see the frame, athelticism, skill/lack of comparison.
That is exactly what I was thinking... is that even minimum wage? Thats like 500 bucks a week.. He must be living on someones couch in Tulsa.
Lots of upside. I like it. He is the next Chandler Parsons. As in, someone else will sign him to the max. Morey has found another cap killer.
