    What I want to know is if T-Rob is practicing 3s like an animal.

    He will need a decent 3-point shot to realize his potential as the LeBron Lite when Parsons gets lowballed and leaves.

    I remember back in the day Chris Simms used to light it up in practice and then proceed to choke in big games.

    He has been okay up to now. He will be better when he actually gets settled. I'm thinking next season will be his breakout year.

    No, practice gets you better. The more you practice, the better you get.

    For a rookie who has only played nine games of spotty minutes on his second team, he is doing good.

    Te Trob is small stuff is stupid is he 7ft like dmo? No but he is the same size at tjones who everyone is advocating for plus he has 7'4 wingspan and a 38" vertical. Ill take those measurements any day of the week I'm still not sure what one inch would do too this board I guess if he was legit 6'10 instead of a long 6'9 he would be that much bigger. Lol you guys do realize he's the same height as Klove and jsmith? C'mon guys give the kid a break he's gonna be a good player thy could possibly be a Allstar level talent. Anybody who watching him in college knows he made improvements to his game every yr. that's what you want in a young player and a big man at that. There's no doubt that he will improve alot over tye offseason and will come back next season trying to earn the starting pf spot even if we have jsmith that's just the type of player he is. Guy is a work horse and wants to be great those ate the type of player that I want on this team.

    T-Robs ability to finish with both hands and attack bigger guys off the dribble make him a unique prospect.

    He is still young and showing prospect, only time will tell. I think he is slightly better than TJones.

    Hopefully he's improving which is all you can ask. But he's got a loooong way to being the top 5 PF in the game that some people are counting on.

    top 5??? wow, it is an extremely high expectation. are you sure someone was talking about t-rob?

    anyway, as you said, it's a loooong way. don't know any team will have any patience.

    my advice to rox is to get him in d-league ASAP. develop him over there and help him to refine his everything related to bball.

    Nah, T-Rob is guarded by Parsons. D-Mo guards Harden. The McHale matchup algorithm is very complicated.

    Good... Hope it shows up on the court so people will stop acting like beaches because they traded Patterson.

    Won't make the playoffs because of Patterson... Hahahahaha...
