    Kid, you never began discussing what we were talking about because it's over your head.... and you've done nothing but prove that over and over again.

    So in order to keep you from continuing to derp up this thread, it's time for this to end.

    If you showed any sign that you could hold an intelligent basketball conversation, it would be different... but you haven't shown that.

    lol. They were all like Stockton had big hands.
    Someone mentioned Mark Price also. I know folks have said Jalen has small hands. I guess I can find Reeds hand size via google just thought I’d ask the dude that was talking about it lol

    I mentioned it in another post - Sheppard has tiny hands. I think his hand length was the shortest at the combine, but hand span/width was good. Can he palm the ball? We're doomed.

    Giving up the 3rd pick to land a star

    Means you won't draft Al-ex Sarr

    Reed or Ron or Donovan too, they won't, play, for you

    Egh, tons of players could have been key pieces on a team with LeBron, Bosh and Wade. He did his job, but you could have subbed many a 3 and D player for him and gotten the same results.

    But OTOH he did it. We don’t have to guess at the others who might have done it in his place.

    He did, and he deserves the same amount of praise that a role playing starter (title 1) or end of rotation player (title 2) gets. One that shouldn’t have them in a convo about high lotto picks.

    They do matter. As Nook said, Stockton had huge hands (as did Jordan and Rondo). It helps control the ball in traffic, gather and pass one-handed, etc. Price more normal. It’s not the most critical measurement, but it can be the difference between a great passer and a good one. I think Sheppard will be a good one, not great.

    Exact same argument as wingspans for a defender - it separates the good from the great. Measurements matter, though I agree that drive and ability to improve matter more (after a certain baseline measurement is reached).

    But I’m not Google, so I don’t have the numbers handy.

    You're going out on a very shaky limb comparing the 2, but you seem dead set on dying on that hill so I'll just stop typing and let you...

    Don't slander anyone on this board, learn manners.
    Calling yourself a Religious Person, is the biggest farce, Immature with Narcissist Personality.

    Slander - making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.

    Maybe you should run along and find a new hobbie.

    Just giving you props for your expertise.

    You said "players like him should get drafted 7th".

    GMs appear to agree with you - kudos to you and the GMs.

    Steph Curry did indeed get drafted 7th.

    Behind Hasheem Thabeet, among others. Definitely a player with more wingspan.

    ... and I've said nothing false.

    Glad you finally caught up days later my slow friend.
