    Bucks are the longest team at the moment, or at least they were two years ago. They could match up length wise but not talent wise.

    Lebron would be a speed mismatch at PF and Brook already looks bigger than the big C of the league. Move over small ball.

    I admit I lol'd when I saw "Ingram" and "swol" but I'll be dammed. Kid is putting on some muscle. If you expand that pic at the bottom you can see some quads are starting to bloom too. Wonder what his weight is at.

    So tall but if i had to guess id add another 20+ pounds since last seasons weight listing. This is assuming he grew 1.5-2".

    Sorry Fam, I got cat fished. He very well could have grown two inches but Trudell clears it up

    Its the same with KD too. He looks a legitimate 7'0 out there but still listed at 6'9.

    Best way to guage his true height is once he and kd play against each other you can tell if he grew, or even look at him next to zubac

    Laker Film Room, now that he's invited to Media Day, just needs to ask him flat out and if he still hasn't measured himself go over to the wall and Get It Done.

    Forced perspective.

    Brandon is now 7'4" 255 per Trudell today.

    Where's sirronstuff ..... more yapping going on. :Laugh: Need to show us dammit. Bunch a yappas is what we got.

    This past year I didn’t feel like I ever got into a groove where I just felt comfortable every single game and was playing like myself. I got a chance to reflect on (the season), to see where I could get better, have a better mentality and gain confidence. I went into the game (at Summer League) and it all felt natural. I felt like myself again. I felt like I was just playing regular basketball. Now I feel even better. Better conditioned, stronger. We’ve been putting in so much work in the weight room. The skill work we’ve been doing every single day … working on offense and defense. Especially with my improved conditioning, I think with my point guard Lonzo Ball kicking the ball ahead and the way we want to play fast … the sky is the limit.

    Good article and comments from everyone. Going to be a very special player in the NBA.

    This was interesting on how they are changing his shot mechanics a little. Kind of the opposite of what they have to do with Nance.

    "KEEFE: (We focused on) his hand placement on the ball and where his guide hand was. He has very long arms, so making his shot a little bit tighter and more compact, because when you have long arms more mistakes can be made. Shooting more one-handed and getting his left hand off the ball, specifically."
