    wha?

    At their pre-draft workouts....
    AB was 5'10" and 160 lbs
    Chris Paul was 6'1" and 175 lbs

    John Wall is 6'3" and 175 lbs. With his frame and length he's gonna get stronger and heavier. After all, he is only freshman and only 19 yrs. old.

    The ship has sailed getting Wall, The only chance we have is if we slumped all the way to the top 10, and hope the balls go our way. You can still win in the 12 or 13 spot, but that's really rare. The Magic did it in the C Webb draft.

    Nope, Scola wouldn't approve of this either. I remember last season in the playoffs when Yao went down he specifically said that he's not afraid of losing but he's afraid of the team not giving it's all. This is why Scola is one of my favorite players in the league and on this team. He's just a tough competitor out there that doesn't want to leave anything on the court when he leaves.

    Wow,come on dude, 19 yrs old vs. 25 yrs old, one has a 5'10 frame, 6'4 wingspan the other has a 6'4 frame with a 6'10 wingspan and can still add muscle to his frame...... I fail to see how you can compare the two!

    Brooks is 1.25 inches shorter than Paul (5'10.5" to 5'11.75") with a nearly identical wingspan (6'4" to 6'4.25") and a higher standing reach (7'10 to 7'9"):

    Brooks is circumcised, and Paul has three inches of chewed up bubble gum on the end.

    OK....?

    I dont see your point - I was merely pointing out to Mr. Chapman that Wall will be a totally different sized player than AB. And if he thinks Wall is small, just look at CP3's measurements.. :rolleyes:

    My point was to correct the inaccuracies in your post. That is all.

    I understand that it doesn't change your argument. I actually agree with the point you're making.
