    Hmmm....If Jackson Gatlin is buying stock in JD, it must be something there.

    JD is fine, he is a great backup PG - if he starts, fine - but it does seem IME has favorites, or a type.......

    You're still talking about Jalen Green? Lets talk about Reed Sheppards efficiency now

    Carroll Dawson would have gave JD a max contract after that game.

    Sorry to break it to you, but the numbers in college and the pros show you’re wrong.
    His athleticism lets him get to balls others can’t get to.
    This is undeniable fact. You can not like it, but you’re going to have to get over it.

    Also, since you want to play specifics 7’9.5” is the standing reach for Reed.
    Reed is faster, more agile and more explosive than JD-by a lot.

    You keep saying this, but nowhere have I said he isn’t undersized.
    You’re making things up to argue with yourself.
    I said IF Reed is undersized then so is Holiday and Davison.
    You and others are intentionally dishonest.

    What you are explaining is called an Ape Index. A positive Ape Index means your arm span is longer than your height. Sounds rayciss, but it's actually not.

    Interesting, I didn't know that. Turns out I actually have a pretty good wingspan, they never really go into that in kid's sports here but I guess that helped when I was younger as an athlete.

    I think deep down the OP wanted this to escalate.

    This is Daishen Nix all over again. If Reed is worse than JD we've got a major problem.
