Btw anyone actually watched how Memphis plays? They start 6’11 240+lb Jaren Jackson at PF and 6’9 230lb Kyle Anderson at SF. Lakers have a similar construction, size wise. We’re gonna be seeing a big pairing with Melo at the three quite a bit.
 
Melo have slim down a lot. Stotts said they be looking at Nurk and Whiteside together for next 2 and half weeks. But that first practice I guess they a lot together.
 
I wanna see how the experiment works, mainly for next seasons purposes. If it works, you could justify paying Whiteside starter money and having enough minutes for Melo.

What the hell is CJ doing on that clip? He needs to pass and not take a difficult contested floater. CJ can be such a ballhog sometimes. I hope he doesn't do that in the real games

CJ is the starting shooting guard for an exciting up and coming team, that's what most 2's do nowadays. CJ imo opinion is as good as Dame at finding seams for fall away or stop and pop, 9-15 footers. Trent will become the best at it soon as he has that physical game in the paint for a 2/3.

He's thin and nimble. I hadn't realized last season that his slowness was from being out of shape. I thought it was age.

Very good news.

well, Zman with his 6'11 250 lb tenacious elite defenders body, was going to cut into Melo's 4 minutes so he said, its good to be going back to his natural position. We'll see how nimble he is when he tries to blow by another elite 3.
That video showed he has leaned down for sure but I thought he still had slow moves and feet work.

You made a transposing error when you tried to type 205. Do you have crossed eyes? Maybe you meant 025.

Collins weighed 232 on his predraft measurements. Are you trying to convince HG that Collins has lost 27 pounds since the measurement? or is it that you made a transposing error?

Taking it to the hole and getting an and 1. I hope he does that in every game.

You win the board prize for simplistic literal thinking.

he's now closer to 250 than 205.
McHale was 205 after 4 years of college.
 
Is there an echo in here? I answered you on that a week ago.

Anyone with eyes can see that he's not 30 pounds lighter than Nurkic. A 250-pound center is a full-size center. 280 is one of the biggest in the league. Collins is a stick figure forward.

Edit: Here's the thread from a week ago. Start at post #15.

If I’m Mario I’m going back to Barca after this.

Also, maybe it’s just an optical illusion, but Melo looks as lean as I’ve ever seen him.

If you want my professional opinion, and I know you do, I think he finally figured out how to trick LeBron James into giving up the location of the fountain of youth.
 


I know it’s practice, but that form looks clean and repeatable. It’s curtains for the league.

But seriously, go look at Jokic’ percentages and compare it to the respect he gets. All Nurk has to show is he can make it from time to time. His playmaking will demand the respect.

It look like klay thompson form
 
Geez the way everybody is talking about Nurk and Zach and Melo, it sounds like we'll roll 27-0.

Will Nurk make the all star team?

Oh I think he will at some point in his career. His offensive game, with that additional range, is going to be phenomenal and on D he is as solid as they come. If we settle into a two man game with him and Dame next season, he'll get looked at for the all star team and after that I think he'll be there every year.
 
Here's ant interview. He doesn't give too much insight.
