    Sounds like he may be in for a rude awakening on NBA life as a rookie. :)

    Well if the roster situation stays this way, everyone on the team will get a rookie!

    He was probably thinking I may arguably be the best player on this team if anyone ask me to carry their bags I'm going to tell them they can carry these Nutz like my opponents will in practice.

    Can't wait to see him in action. I'm more excited about our rookies this season then the last couple of seasons.

    I am personally thankful the Lord is taking time away from his busy schedule to make sure these kids are drafted onto the correct professional sports teams.

    Has a laid back attitude. I don't judge people based on their speech or their looks but he sounds like a lazy guy. That and he basically said he likes to "have fun" without commenting on it more...aka party all night ;P

    The rockets didn't even work him out and they still drafted him kind of makes you wonder....

    If someone farts, can you tell what they're like from the sound emitted too?

    Jeremy reminds me of Steve Francis in the way he talks, real deep voice and just calm. Francis liked to joke too but he was all out hustle on the court so the lazy part is just reaching for something that's not there.

    I just look at his comments on whether Drummond can reach his NBA potential, "It depends on if he decides to work." How you criticize your peers may give a better look into your world view, because clearly he isn't oblivious to what it takes to be great.

    I'm kinda tired of people saying stuff like this as if it's a real concern. It's inevitable he will fill out his frame, just in regular NBA workouts & practice and going from 20 to 23 sure does do a lot for young men. Kevin Durant couldn't do a single bench rep, Lamb did 5, both coming out at a similar age. Chase Budinger did 10... Tyreke Evans did 7... and Eric Gordon did 15 (at 6'3" that's a necessity) just for a comparison.

    Fighting through screens and crashing boards will bruise the guy up though for the first few years but physically this kid has no weaknesses. This was a pedigree pick, he can bloom into a star.

    I quoted the wrong person, initially, that first one came from ch0c0b0fr34k


    To the OP,

    Lamb carry those bags. Like Commander Mormant said to Jon Snow... "If you want to lead, first learn to follow."

    Actually didn't like that interview much. Sounded like he thought he was above all that.

    LOL, you sound like my wife. I forget which pick it was that was first to thank God, but as soon as she heard that she let out with, "OOOH LAWDY, PRAISE THE MAN IN THE SKY" and exited the room. :grin:
