    Knows his stuff. He's on LG. Doesn't very good work on prospects and gets into the details of strengths/weaknesses.

    The type of stuff I love.

    yeah, i've read mike for years, and he's usually pretty good. not always, but enough to pay attention.

    vince williams looks great, and his comps are the kind that make you wonder how he's not projected in the 1st round.

    seems like mike likes trevion williams from purdue, too?

    whole list looks solid, tbh.

    did you forget a comma or are you asking why he is fat? could be anything from poor diet to genetic proclivity towards inefficient metabolism?

    anyway, he's not built like dad was:

    Yeah :D I forgot the comma and was thinking back to Magic's days in the front office. The ole capitalized FAT humor.

    yeah, i just remember hearing that ron harper had a kid who might be drafted, looking up his highlights and being surprised by the body type. and he's not huge or anything, just not like dad:

    Does look like he hasn't taken his conditioning seriously though and def a red flag.

    it's an issue. it killed cousins's career, imo. if that dude took care of himself, he's a hofer, imo. i remember when he was coming out, i watched film and was like "omg...but why is he fat? all you have to do to be the #1 pick is not be fat, and you didn't do it" /magic

    anyway, i always worry about guys--especially upperclassmen--whose bodies aren't right. again, i noted haslem as a guy who really turned it around, but he's the exception that proves the rule.

    we had derrick caracter a few years back. same thing. why aren't you in shape, bro? you're 20. i could pound a billion beers back then and look like you do as a D1 star.

    oh yeah. i ballooned for a bit in my 20s before i realized i no longer worked out intensely for 4 hours a day and thus needn't order off the supersize menu.

    but my livelihood didn't depend on my physical prowess. i really think that i'd have been able to keep control of that if that were the case, hence my concern about guys declaring for the draft with two fistfuls of french fries. it's indicative of other things (in many cases).

    They came in a little "thick".

    He changed his body.

    I'm not sure if Ron Harper Jr will be an NBA player, but I like him.

    :)
