I'm coming around to the idea of Monk for the Sixers after watching his dunk tapes.

Fox has been stumping hard for Sacramento to draft us and been posting pictures non-stop since he came here for a workout. Don't know how I should feel about that

He's BFFs with WCS. And we have literally no one under contract to play PG.

Yeah, if you think you have some skills Sacramento seems like the best route to a max contract for a PG. You are going to get LOTS of burn and probably front office cover.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It seems people have double and triple downed on them being out on him but The Lakers are meeting with Ball as we speak so at least they are establishing a process which wasn't certain since they were doing everything so haphazardly a month ago.

I'm warming on Donovan Mitchell, he uses his freak arms to get space for his shot, and the mechanics are nice. I think he'll make threes in the NBA. He should be at least really good bench player who comes in, defends like a fiend and makes spot ups, and finishes well at the rim by floating the ball over his head as he snakes through the defense.

I've watched more Jawun Evans and he seems like a really solid all around player, a dependable backup pg who'll score, pass, and play hard on defense. But he has tiny tiny hands, so there's bust potential.

I think Isaac will be really good, I like the way he moves, I like his jumper. And anyone who can make shots despite tall hair must be talented. But he's another hand size red flag player.

Monk is going to be a terror, like a sg Russell Westbrook if he was really skinny and just a super athlete and not a mega hyper athlete, with a better jumper. He's a little demon. Defense could be a problem, but with so many teams playing combo guards at 2, at least he won't always be at a huge matchup disadvantage.

Kings got a commitment from Fox to shave his head and computer simulations have projected his shooting percentage to improve by 20 percentage points. I'm a broken Record, but Fox is a special player if he gets a haircut, he deserves to be taken over Lonzo Ball if he has a bald head


Jaron Blossomgame could have snuck into the late lottery if he kept his hair short and didn't end up shooting 25% from three as a senior. He seems like he should be a really good player, but I watch him and he just looks not-good.

Evans is really good but he gets bothered by length at a worrisome degree

My opinion on Monk depends greatly on which wingspan measurement is bullshit. I feel like this is worrisome and the growing trend of misinformation on actual measurements is as well.

His official NBA combine wingspan is 6' 6.5''
So unless he's dislocating his shoulders I think his arms are about 3.5 inches longer than his body

The NBA Combine measurements are usually legit. The ones from the college are usually the most suspect. I dunno if they were hiding his wingspan or just lazy/bad at measurements.

Yeah when you let them take their own measurements they measure from the base to inflate the numbers

damn i'm really in this bitch

I'm at work right now plus I'm super lazy buuuut look at his defensive stance and compare it to his standing height. If he can get low and still contest shots then it's not a huge deal

Like if Monk is contesting people and they can see over him, red flag, if they can't then he's probably fine
