    Same especially since the guy who was picked right after has become a decent player...

    Hey just think of Flight White as a rookie since I guess he's still technically a prospect.

    Well we could bring in Newley or Eliyahu, not to mention we have White.

    I corrected it for you :)



    I'm pretty sure Lebron can copy all his dunks....and I still haven't seen footage of White having the same high flying antics during games, like Lebron.

    Wish we drafted DeAndre Jordan instead of Dorsey. A wasted pick.

    Sign Morris Almond and I'll be very very very happy.

    Sign Ramon Sessions and I'll be over the moon.

    Nope, on the line.



    Lebron has ZERO chance of doing windmills/between the legs from the free throw line...

    That first dunk! Wow.

    Lebron does not have flight like White...

    check again, his outer heel just touches the line, that's too far to be "on the line", pretty much a foot inside.

    Why does Lebron have zero chance? James white is more of a long jumper, but Lebron has more distance vertically, he should be able to pull off the same dunks, and definitely has more than zero chance.

    Also, doing great dunks when no one else is on the court is cool, but doing a great dunk with moving obstacles trying to stop you is even better..

    fixed it for you :)

    Look I'm sure he can do it completely behind the line, he is a great dunker, but Lebron can do all those dunks also. If Lebron can take off close to the FT line during games with not much of a running start, i'm sure he can take off from the FT line if he runs from way out inside the tunnel like White does.

    He goes between the legs on this dunk.

    If that is not behind the line, maybe his toenail is on it.

    Lebron can NOT do this dunk......


    Lebron would be toast in a dunk contest with James White....

    Thabeet is in the top 5. He is soft tall and linky. After a few years in the NBA, he will be decent.

    Bingo!

    Was going to post the same thing myself, although I'm not ready to call Dorsey a wasted pick after just 1 season. But I REALLY wish we'd have rolled the dice on a young 7ft'er for the backup center role instead of a 6'6'' 24/25 year old who seems to have problems picking up the offensive/defensive schemes of the team ta' boot.


    On a lesser note it also bummed me out that we gave up what looks to be a really high 2nd rounder just to get rid of Stevie's small salary.

    It's not a waste of pick. we drafted a very potential rookie with that pick but this rookie has been wasted by our team. Dorsey would have got consistent minutes if he had been drafted by a scrub team instead of a good team like rockets.

    I am with Knote, LeBron can't touch White in terms of making the aforementioned dunks. What LeBron has is power, though White is far more impressive in terms of flight.

    If only White can be allowed in the NBA dunk contest next season.... We gotta make it happen Clutchfans!
