On Grady Dick, this:

A non-Big 12 opponent: “He was better in person than I thought he would be. A great shooter and an underrated athlete. He was also a competitive defender. He kicked our butt.”

Sounds a lot like Woody.

I thought the same thing when I read that.

Anxious to follow his career. I can only imagine how much he would shine as a big sophomore guard, though.

The kid just makes me laugh.

Wemby is another freak of nature whose body will give out on him way too soon

Pretty in depth breakdowns of Pacers options with Caitlin Cooper, who is one of my favorites. Does some nice deep dives into into Whitmore, Hendricks, Walker and Gradey Dick.

What makes you say that with such confidence?

Can’t speak for AB but John Hollinger’s draft piece notes that the guys among Wemby’s height comps have played so many fewer games than you’d hope.

We can hope that modern training, medicine, sports science etc. lets him have a long career.

Physical oddities or extremes tend to break down. Chet and Zion recently are two guys I wouldn’t have drafted.

Durability is a big concern. If I was betting I’d say foot injury with his style of play and body type.

So, the pick from Denver is the worst pick from among OKC, Utah, Houston and the Clippers and isn’t lottery protected. That makes sense.

Interesting twist to Ausar canceling his workout last week.

All of this “Cam Whitmore is sliding” talk is specifically designed to ruin this old man’s day. I need him off the board before 7 to remove the temptation from Pritchard to bank on the tools and ignore the fact that he’s not a winning player. C’mon Pistons, I’m counting on you.

Serious question: Is this a troll and I’m just not getting it?
