Yes, Jr. palms the ball on all of his dunks. Huge advantge


Along with the other huge advantage of the insane 12' 1.5" max vert reach (highest at the combine) ... And you have some pretty looking throwdowns on people.


DB, I read somewhere that his max vert reach was the highest since 2009.

Can he play SF?

If we signed LaMarcus Aldridge, what do we do with him? Playing backup?

Would like to believe that JR is just worn out and that's the reason his shot looks so pedestrian. A consistent outside shot is key for him to maximize his strengths.

He got no lift on those catch n shoots. Zero. He was just tired IMO.

Yeah I think that's the reason why his shot looks off compared to how it looked a couple of months ago in his other shooting highlights. Probably just trying to condition him to shooting when he's tired and doesn't have the energy anymore.

Can you also tell me the lotto number for this week's drawing?

Wouldn't surprise me. That's a pretty insane number. You want your picks to have at least one freakish ability or strength to fall back on. His is that athleticism. He's also seem to shown work ethic (injury bounce back) and has a hoop pedigree (help with IQ). Hopefully, all that comes together over the next few years.

I think that criticizing a video with absolutely 0 perspective is worthless. You can make up any scenario you want (and most here have) despite having no idea about the workout.

I know I was freaking out. After FA and seeing Randle that fat I was about to cry.

If West was the GM no way is Randle and not Stauskas a Laker right now. Boring conventional pick IMO.

That's not a pretty jumper. His balance is off. Instead of going straight up and down he goes up and lands slightly to the right.

Really love the Bass pickup now. Could not have asked for a better mentor for Randle. Hard worker, plays with heart, solid mid range shot he can teach Randle, etc.

The last thing I wanted for our young guys to believe they were entitled to a starting position. Now they have to beat out seasoned vets. Everyone will be the better for that.
