Finally. Thank you. Please listen to Dame, LaMarcus and Neil and adjust expectations accordingly.

Check out this photo from practice:

It's clear who everyone is, and Meyers has 2 of whatever it is. And T-Rob is not listed with the bigs, while Claver is...

Is Robinson's thumb not quite right?

I remember from elementary school that getting your name written on the board with two check marks was bad. He probably was not keeping his hands, feet, and body to himself.

I really hate this idea. Meyers is too awkward to be a stretch four. Aldridge is one of the most agile and quick bigs in the league. I just don't see it at all.

I've been saying Meyers is a PF since we drafted him. Nobody believed me. He's a power forward. If his offensive game takes off he'll get minutes. Stotts coached Dirk for quite awhile and young Dirk was a horrible defender very awkward in the paint. Sound familiar? Not that Leonard is close to Dirk but he's a PF who is defensively challenged and has a good looking shot with range

Runs with scissors... CHECK!
Doesn't play nice with others... CHECK!

No recess for you young man!

After seeing meyers try to head the ball into the basket last night(would that have counted?) I can't help but imagine a seal when I think of him.

He's a marginal NBA player, he's neither a center nor a power forward. All he did is make the happy accident of growing to 7 feet tall and being able to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

Wow.

underselling him a bit. I actually think he could he an excellent volleyball player. As for basketball player.... I'm willing to give him a 2-year vet min. contract after this year.

I didn't say he's a shit athlete, I said "he's a marginal NBA player." To wit, he's probably easily in the top 99.999th percentile on the world's athletic spectrum, but it doesn't mean he's any good at basketball.

I must have been absent the day that blinders were handed out.
