Okay. And at this point Meyers has a 40 inch vertical and is way more athletic and physically faster down the court and back. But still not a good comparison as he is a total buffoon on the court. So what is you point? Meyers time is past here. A 7 footer that needs a new situation. Swanigan still needs to fill some major holes in his game to see any extended minutes in the NBA. That is fact.

What's funny (or pathetic) is Meyers might have a good vertical jump but the fuckin ball is in the basket by the time he gathers himself to make that jump, he sooooooo slow mentally and physically it's like he's in slow mo, never seen a guy so slow reacting

Collins looks like a project. This guy can contribute off the bench immediately. I think it may be awhile before Collins is really useful, but Swanigan can be a role player for a long time.

I don't see a ton of upside though, and he's probably never a high level starter.

I'm probably in agreement with this and hope he can be a solid rotational guy, if his shooting proves out I think he can. However, personally I would rather have taken a shot at Bolden or Semi, both those guys can shoot and IMO have more upside, Caleb was not at all one of my preferred picks, but I don't believe he's bad like what's his name was trying to make out

Sorry to burst your bubble but this guy is not a steal at all. These are facts about Swanigan so don't get your hopes up.
I knew pretty much nothing about this guy. So i decided to do some real looking into him. What i found is not good. Not good at all.

So if you didn't know anything about him & then decided to "really look into him" - what does that constitute?

You've been arguing with sever posters about his future based on what.... a 20 minute review of his scouting report at Draftexpress?

He may top out at an Ed Davis level, but that's OK IMO. I love the passion, energy, and fire he plays with. That's a skill that can't be taught
 
He will be the steal of the draft if he can hit his ceiling. As always with players who need to improve the if is the take away point.
 
This has nothing to do with Swanigan. But his nickname is reason enough to drop this track. Maybe they can play this at Moda whenever he goes off. :disco::disco::disco:

I believe Olshey said on his interview there looking at Collins will backing up Nurk at the start.

My guess is Collins fills the same role he filled this season at gonzaga, back up center. Comfort with role and defense gets him on the court immediately. Then as the season goes on you'll probably see him sharing the court with nurk more and more as he transitions to power forward.

As for Swanigan, I think there will be a battle with Vonleh for minutes.

Meyers is done. If he's still on the roster, he won't be in the rotation.

Might as well just write off the contract.
 
Someone will take Meyers for little value or for free. He is still very young, very athletic and does have a nice shot. I wanted us to give him another year, but given who we drafted I don't see him being ahead of either. So, it appears time to cut bait.
 
When does the season staret?/ When does summer league start?

Collins? Swannigan? Layman? Connaughton? Possibly Vonleh? We should DOMINATE!!!!!

Don't dismiss the 3!!! and if we in we play a couple more right? If And this is a BIG if I think... Napier plays too? We will win. Period.

I've thought about that a lot. Hilarious if Pops turned Meyers into a player

Wouldn't even be mad. I'd play Steppenwolf Never Too Late and show him video of 80s and 90s centers.

It's not too late to change Meyers. ( I doubt he reads this but just in case)
 
Clearly this is what they will play when he scores in the RG.

 
The face when you learn you will be a Blazer

His form is nearly perfect from three.

Skillset-wise he's somewhere between Z-Bo and Rodney Rogers.
