    I think there is about a 100% chance Amen plays if healthy to take some 3 point shots. While Cam will likely play to see if learned the cool trick in bball called passing.

    You think Reddick was lying when he talked about improving his deficiencies as a ball-handler and defender? His motivation was...what? Or all of the scouting reports that said he doesn't handle the ball well and was likely to struggle on defense? You think that he didn't play 20 mpg in the NBA until he was 25 because...his coach was mean?

    Or are you just running your mouth and sounding like a jackass calling some dude you don't know a liar who makes up **** because you look at boxscore stats and watch highlight videos for a player who was in college before you were born? Or all of the above?

    Yeah, it was a legendary college career based on his shooting, off-ball movement, and ability to get to the line without penetrating, a la Reggie/Chauncey/Rip. He was considered a real stretch at 11 because... concerns that he would just be a shooter and wouldn't have the speed or ball handling to create his own shot or play any PG, and wouldn't be able to defend well because he wasn't big enough to guard up or fast enough to guard down.

    And you know what happened when he got to the NBA? He struggled to overcome his physical limitations because he didn't have the skills at first. He had a good career in the NBA because he turned himself into more than a shooter—just look at his assist rate climbing through the years as he became a better ball handler—and worked hard enough on his body to play into his mid-30s.

    Go ahead and send me more ad hominem nonsense and maybe include highlight videos in which there are a few clips of him getting to the rim as though they're representative of his 4,700 minutes played at Duke. Man, I wish you could block idiots on this website.

    Looking at the Naismeth winners is an interesting list of players. Looks like 3 HOF players from the last 36 years of winners. Durant Duncan and Anthony Davis.

    God really woke up one day and decided to merge CP3, Nash, Curry and Klay into one player and then gave him a 40-inch vertical. No wonder he was nerfed to 6’2. We might never lose again.
