Meyers strikes me as a very tall guy who just does not like basketball very much, like the dumb rich kid in law school bc he has to be

― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 12 July 2018 22:43 (five years ago) link
I remember going to outdoor court long time ago and there was this guy who had the platonic ideal of a basketball body and was throwing down crazy dunks while warming up. Then he got in an actual game and he...sucked. A lot. Always think of him when I see NBA guys like Meyers.

i'm tall enough to be a nba forward but sucked at basketball so i know the feeling

What was that crazy fact I read in some depressing Larry Bird piece a couple years back? Like 17% of all 7 footers in the U.S. wind up playing in the NBA?
― omar little, Thursday, 12 July 2018 23:24 (five years ago) link
yeah there are very few actual 7 footers
― ciderpress, Thursday, 12 July 2018 23:33 (five years ago) link
right, and it's not like they're just born with basketball talent. it's no shock they're less skilled than the little guys

that michael wright stuff is super weird and sad. but it did lead me to this video that i watched in full last night. high school ball is so funny to me, how do we break the full court press? just throw it up high to KG and see what happens...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPX4QClR9EY
― Hall of Fam (Spottie), Thursday, 12 July 2018 23:57 (five years ago) link
(michael wright is on that team w KG and was a freshman, looked like the best player on the floor during big chunks of that game)

i don't know enough about nuggets roster minutae but this doesn't seem like the most obvious fit? monte morris had a nice summer league so i thought they'd be giving him some minutes but maybe they felt like they needed another pg.

I tend more toward lagoon's assessment that he just doesn't have the feel for the game. He gets lost on the court sometimes, doesn't anticipate well and therefore can't block shots or cut off a driving opponent, and holds the ball too long before passing, mainly because he can't feel the flow of things on court. He has the NBA body, size and 'athleticism', but lacks an NBA talent for hoops.

I am investing everything in tatum futures, I’m convinced he’s going to be the best player in the east soon depending on how Giannis evolves. His body now seems analogous to when lebron came in the league- you can just see the outline of the ideal structure for the state of the game in a couple years. I’m still in awe of how lebron can physically do literally anything on the court save maybe spot up shoot threes as well as curry
I’m also just in awe of the amount of straight up talent in a guy as big as embiid it’s baffling how he is even possible

i guess the bulls don’t wanna tie up their cap space but i don’t really see the upside here for them. if he turns into the player ppl thought when he was drafted then they’re either gonna have to give him $100m+ or let him walk
