    When he was a rookie, KD already separated himself from the likes of Marcus Morris, Michael Beasley and Bari Smith.

    I believe the only red flag KD had was he couldnt do a bench press. Nobody was saying he was slow and immobile.

    Him and Oden were consensus 1/2 and most people thought KD had the higher ceiling, Oden was just the trad dominant big man center everyone loved at the time.

    Wemby and Ausar with blood clot issues found.

    Amen and Cam Whitmore from same draft so far have been fine.

    I'm assuming shaolin monks aren't NBA quality basketball players as I've never seen one in the league, so cool. Let's hope he spends all of his summers being a buddhist monk and not working on his game, he'll likely come back still soft and trying to be a wing. As long as he stays trying to bomb from deep and doesn't realise he can just score 90% dunking on everybody he may actually be beatable.

    He's following the footstep of Kareem, Kobe and the Zen Master to hone his mental game by seeking East. Though, instead of just getting a local trainer (Bruce Lee) or reading books (Zen), Wemby actually opted for the real training ground. It shows at the very least he's focused all year long, this retreat experience also gotta make him feel good for a while, like he can calm himself with it when he needs to during the season.

    I know what he's doing, he's welcome to do it all summer, every summer. Random quasi-intelligent sounding eastern philosophy and religion built around self-deprivation is not going to train him as well as eating 4000 calories a day and hitting the gym. This is great, lets hope he stays into all this bullshit instead of actually training at basketball lmao.

    No really familiar with Wimby. Only know him as one of the guys Sengun dunked on en route to a 45-point, 16-rebound game.
