    This reminds me of Worthy's rookie year. James wanted to start as the power forward with Silk still around, then Rambis would knock him down every practice until Worthy was convinced he is better as at the 3.

    That was good but its a different league now. Let him learn and have advantage on offense.

    That black color and that design on those rims. Hot!! But oh sooo hard to keep it all clean. So funny how white cars can look clean even when they're not ... so much. Black you gots to be on it. And the little holes between those spokes .....

    :DNO2:


    Yeah .... I'm jealous.

    He's with Nike. Not a Big Baller.

    I'm the opposite on this. I think @22 he will adapt to the NBA now a lot better than most 19 year olds, especially bigs. Their biggest issue is body/strength and he has a few years advantage. And even if it wasn't playing NBA ball, it was still playing ball and your body still develops. The 3 years @ Utah and even the red-shirting is gonna help. He'd be fine if he was 19 too but my point is he'll develop faster for us, I never agreed with the 19 year-old thing anyways and think it should be 20.

    Yeah yeah yeah. :rock: (I agree with you, why I did that post) But the thing is I had the crazy Metta gif available quick in our on site library when I posted that, rather than having to go call up the special extended sirron library and find Metta with the BIG tongue in his cheek. I figgered crazy Metta was enough to show I was being facetious. But yeah .... on me... I was lazy.

    Well alam1108 rescued Mr Untouchable BI from page 2 a little earlier including a LFR breakdown on him from his one SL game, and then that video had this one on Kyle right behind it. So I'm bumping as well Mr Steal of the Draft .... Kuz.

    In case anyone's not seen it and even if you have it is the dog days of summer here and this guy Kuzma is something else. The coordination and skills his has already at his size are really exciting. The spin moves. It's like Klay Thompson and Robert Horry's shooting forms had a son in Kyle's form. Handles at speed in the open court. Love this kid.

    Ahh .... so you did. Sorry I should have quoted it for my comments but I just checked back and had not seen it yet or I would have have certainly given it a "Like". I was busy being a smart a** trying to make a joke with the top quote and then replying to therealdeal. Forgot to watch the damn video. :p :clap:

    Interesting in that LFR said it was his favorite one of these to date. Think about that. I think it's because this "steal of the draft" has so many valuable skills and looks great showcasing them already that you can tell he's pretty special. Number 3 ranking on the rookie ladder coming out of Summer League and drafted in the 27th position. Dayam!!!

    Our scouting really was the one bright spot through the Jim Buss nightmera. Really hope that holds true now that the bums are out.

    I just finished watching the championship SL game again and LMAO at Kuzma and Walton's great relationship. Everyone's happily milling about after the game over by the sideline waiting for their championship presentation and Luke is over about 10 feet away giving someone his full attention. All of a sudden Kyle comes out of the crowd at a good clip and head butts Luke in the right shoulder knocking him back and startling him. He looks up to see who nailed him and then starts cracking up at Kuz and laughing with him like they are great buds. How many coaches and how many rookies would be that comfortable with one another?
