No. He doesn't want to be there.

Nice to see Team Chuck break the record.

Yeah this one was kind of boring. The highlight was Irving making Knight fall. This was never a game.

He wants to play Sunday, not Saturday.

Man why couldn't Davis throw down a dunk right there.

I thought Rubio was going to have 20 assists in a game like this. :hihi:

I'd do anything for a Faried and Irving. I mean seriously... whew...

I disagree that he doesn't want to be there.

He just doesn't feel like exerting himself.

:rolleyes: Come on. Humor me. Sometimes when a silly question is asked a silly answer must be given.

Of course he's happy to be there. He'd probably love to be getting some extra rest right now during this off weekend but he appreciates being there no doubt.

I'm just glad his team won. :p Now here's to hoping Ryan wins tomorrow night. :cheers:

True....He does have to play on Tuesday right after all these festivities. He looked like he had fun tho. And its been a long while since we had any rookies reppin NOLA in the Rookie/Sophomore game. So I can't complain. I know I was one of the only ones that looked at Chuck's roster and said they would win...he picked the talent with the better overall skills.....look at the assists in that game along.

Paul was probably the last one right? And even then they probably considered him reppin OKC. :idoh:

I really think Ryno's gone shoot the lights out tomorrow. I'm actually more excited to watch that then I was this game.

Of course AD is happy to be there, but I think he probably would have enjoyed his time off as well.

Chuck picked players that wanted to win the game in Faried, Leonard, and Thomas.

Team Chuck missed Drummond's rebounding. They got killed on the boards.

Honestly, I think he's lazy. But he obviously gets his work in to get better.

What he does after that isn't really my business. Nor do I care.

I hope so. I want to be happy for him. Last year I think he went out in the first round. :hihi:

I'm expecting a good dunk contest tomorrow.

Oh ok. Cuz I didn't remember him playing in the Rookie-Sophomore game.

While I really want Ryno to win, Curry is a freak. Did anybody see that video he released of him practicing threes in the competition format? He made like 40 out of 50.

TNT is seriously the best broadcast for the NBA. It's too bad they only do one night a week. Also, they need to replace Kenny with Karl. Karl is killing it.

my bad. I thought I remembered that he played as a sophomore. I googled before posting but obviously misread something on a bio page...

Collison was actually selected to the first team that year as well, with Thornton on the second team.

Do y'all ever think he will gain weight? I don't

I don't think he'll gain much more weight per say but get stronger. Learn how to the type of body he has and aclimate it to the NBA....get in the weight room things of that nature. Look at KD doesn't seem like he gained that much more weight did he but you can see he has better muscle definition and learned how to use his body to his advantage.

Its really all about learning how to play. Even KG was really skinny coming into the league...he's still pretty lean just stronger and has learned how to maneuver down low. Some guys frame cant handle a massive weight gain so they have to find other ways to adjust.

I think he can put on an easy 30 pounds.

Not even sure what the discussion is however I can tell you there's nothing easy about adding 30lbs of muscle.

I'm an adult. I understand how easy or hard it is to gain muscle.

Are you still at the weight you were when you were 19?

I don't know how old you are and it's really irrelevant to the subject. If you think adding 30lbs of muscle is easy I strongly disagree with you. Especially for someone that has Davis' body type.

There are a lot of players that still have the same build. Tayshaun Prince comes to mind.

And there are plenty, if not more, that have changed. lol I mean Howard reportedly added 20 lbs from his rookie to sophomore season. I don't know if I believe that, but it's not out of the question for AD to significantly changes his build in the next 2 years. 20 lbs over the next 2 years would be ideal, in my opinion.

Really doesn't matter "how much" we think Davis will gain. Fact of the matter is he's only 19 years old, and we can all agree his body isn't a finished product at 19. He will gain weight, he will be on a profesional weight lifting program for over a decade, and he's already good enough to compete with the best of them. Based on his broad shoulders, Davis has a great frame to gain a pretty significant amount. But he also could grow three inches over the summer. He's still a child for most purposes. I'm not even sure he's ever written a check, he isn't legally suppossed to buy drinks, he can't rent a freakin car. When he's 25, he'll probably laugh at pictures of himself today.

I use to think there was a lot of players who gain significant muscle mass until I started trying to think of those players.

My point wasn't that it can't be done simply that it's not easy especially for guys with Davis' build.

I just don't think it's fair to judge Davis' build just because he has only been this tall for 2 years, and reports say he is still growing. The guy's shoulders are way wider than they should be, which leads me to think he has room to bulk up. I don't necessarily want him Dwight Howard size. Howard moves around like a brick.

Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Bosh or KG build. Those players are some of the top PFs in the league.

I think it's irrelevant, but fwiw I see Davis ultimately at about 235 but much, much stronger than he is now.

Explain where i said it would be easy? I said i thought he would gain 30 pounds, I did not state the level of toughness it would take.

Pretty much any draft profile i read about him said with his frame he should be able to add weight. So i'm not sure why you keep bringing up his frame.

In 2011 he weighed 208, now i think he's listed at 222? That's 14 pounds. So let's not act like i'm being outlandish.

There.

I said an easy 30 pounds not that it would be easy. Meaning that he could put on more if he needed to. Regardless I think he can put it on. This is kind of dumb to even be arguing but whatev. The other points were ignored pretty clearly. He's put on at least 14 in a year and a half, so I clearly think your Tashaun example is completely off.

:hihi:
