I think people do not understand how athletic Zach is for this size. Too many preconceived notions that he is slow. I think the combine helped with that some.

As Lively has shown with Dallas, there is a need for rebounders and rim protectors. If both players get in the right system, they will both have successful NBA careers.
Zach will play for 10 years if he wants to.

I pointed out Lartner’s Olympic accomplishments because many other college players were Olympic stars and Laetner, despite his college hype was a total non factor on his Olympic team. Is that his fault? Yes it was his fault. If he was better, he would have played more rather than just occupying a roster spot they were obligated to give to a college player!

I’ll stick to my assessment. Clingman’s nba career will be no better than Laetner’s nba career.

That’s my opinion! You can agree with it or not. But you don’t have to resort to name calling just because you don’t agree with my opinions. But then again, why change your behavior now? Nobody will ban you for harassing me!
If your point is that Clingan's NBA career will be no better than Laetner's I completely agree. That was not easy to ascertain from your initial post. For DC to play a meaningful role in the league for over a decade would be a win for him and the team that selects him.

Any expectations that Laettner would be a franchise player were probably unfair. That 1992 draft had two stars and a bunch of good players. I'm not sure this year's draft has any sure stars/franchise players. If Clingan goes in the top five the expectations for him will likely be unrealistic.
 
Chi chi: You know how idiotic you sound? You blocked me but you still feel the need to read my posts and respond to them.

You brag at least once a month that you have blocked me. Do you actually know what the purpose of blocking someone is? It’s basically so you don’t have to worry about reading or responding to someone’s posts.

But as you say, you love reading my posts because they are so idiotic that they make you laugh and you are compelled to reply just so you can set the record straight to everyone.

Hmmmmmmm! You love to read my posts. You look forward to reading my posts. Just so you can argue with them.

In this post I’ve said more than once that I thought Edey would have the better NBA. Career! I also explained my reasoning. So you don’t like my logic or reasoning. We came to the same conclusion, didn’t we? So why do you feel compelled to argue? In mathematics. Sometimes people work backwards to solve a problem. Sometimes people use an indirect proof. What does it matter how people reach a result of an answer as long as they reach the right answer?

So let me repeat. And summarize.

I said Edey would have the better NBA career! Do you disagree with that conclusion ?

You said you’ve blocked me on multiple occasions but you also feel compelled to read my posts and then argue with them.

So which post is more idiotic? My post saying Edey will have the better career? Or your post saying you blocked me but geeked compelled to still open and read my posts and respond and argue with them?


sooooooooooo Chi chi, who do you believe is going to have the better nba career? If it’s Edey, then why bother wasting your time arguing with me? Didn’t we both reach the same conclusion? Does it really matter how we reached that conclusion? Or do you just love bragging to people that you blocked me but you still look forward to reading my posts?

What is it Chi chi?

Talked to 3 UCONN fans this week and all like Edey’s NBA prospects better than Clingans. One was generally negative about Clingan, one was positive and one was very positive. The very positive one on Clingan was the most effusive that Edey would be better and eventually an All Star.

Most people are bought in that Edey is damn special. Will be fun to see how it plays out.
 
I hope both succeed. To get here, work ethic, skill, competitiveness is out of question. At the end, luck matters.

Bet MGM and Fanduel have Edey with second best odds to win award :).
Sportsbook Composite have him with 4th best odds.
You made me look at my book's odds. I reported last week that he was +1000. Now it's +700, tied with one Frenchman and only behind the other. Knecht has moved up to +800.
