    This makes me like him less . At that age twins should be farting on each other or other kid stuff.

    Thats a requirement nowadays. If your not playing ball at 8 or 9 yr you're going to be left behind. All of my co-worker physicians have their kids year round in basketball. Some middle schools want you to play 2 sports.

    This is not the 90's anymore where you play seasonal only at the Y.

    Probably higher than that even. Prime Penny was so damn good. Made the All-NBA 1st team in his second and third seasons before the injuries started kicking in. I don't know what the odds are of Amen pulling that off, but I'm here for it.

    Huh, interesting that they got Whitmore, the 20th pick, way up there in the odds.

    There will be some surprises when things are said and done.

    This class is really balanced IMHO other than Wemby and Scoot down the road but will Wemby play more than 59 games?

    Remains to be seen.

    His favorite player was lebron growing up. Oh oh. Grew up being taught by lebron to run away for the easier path. Learned its ok to be a mercenary for hire and super team ups. Amen will be a laker in by 2030
