And that was a few months ago.
That's first thing I noticed too. Wide shoulders plus long arms equal crazy wingspan!
We want more! We want more!
They had to count his hair their measurement. Davis looks to be taller than Noel in that pic.
I really like CJ McCollum. He can score. He is the craftiest ball handler I've seen in a while. He can split the trap in the pick and roll. Hesitation, crossover in iso, come off of screens, step back jumper. Hes not a great athlete. But I still wish I could have seen his numbers.
I think you would probably be impressed with his interview too....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
I really don't care to much for interviews but his is maybe the best I've ever seen. Ben McLemore is real dumb.
Not picking on u ,but to everyone calling him dumb from an interview is really blunt and ignorant. Not every guy is good with the public, or nervousness may even come in. Its extremely unfair to judge someone from only one appearance. People like that really annoys me and shows close-mindness.

Lol B-Mac will be a late bloomer IMO. He has "it" but doesn't know it yet. He really pisses me of when he doesn't help his team take cover.I'm really not a fan of BMI get his attributes but his bad qualities just make me very nervous as a starting 2.
I'm rooting for the guy ..maybe he will surprise us and become the Andre Drummond of this year(potential in college but never showed up for their teams)
I can see Michael Beasley in BM tbh.
College bigs have different issues that may prevent they from playing to their potential. The paint is usually packed and if you have selfish guard play a lot of times bigs won't get to touch the ball like they should. McLemore is a perimeter player which the college game caters to.
McLemore's interview does nothing to alleviate the worries about his aggressiveness and assertiveness on the court.
I don't believe McLemore has "it".
...and CJ McCollum duplicates the roll we hope Austin Rivers captures.
You do realize he was redshirted for being academically inelidgeable right? I dont know him personally and I'm sure he's a nice guy but I think its fair to question his intelligence when you pair that with his interview. I doubt it will affect his ability to play basketball however.
Being academically ineligible doesn't mean you're dumb though. Maybe he just didn't have his priorities right at the time. I don't know personally but I agree you certainly have to call it in question and talk to the kid. One can see dumb pretty quickly.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

He was ineligible due to transferring too many times. He qualified academically.
Again nothing against the guy I'm sure he's nice but he was dismissed from Oak Hill and arrested for not appearing in court. I think he's a pretty nice humble kid, but he doesn't sound to bright.
Hes not a rocket scientist, but calling him dumb is a little harsh. As long as he can ball and is willing to learn i dont care if his IQ is that of a carrot. He does not seem like the type of kid that will be trouble for a team. The only true worry for me is his passive nature; he impressed me alot with his vert. I did not realize he was on par with Oladipo.
If you can't grease pass college courses enough to play ball even if it's doesn't speak to your ability to learn the fact you were that distracted says something about you. Especially with so much at stake.
Right, except that's not what happened w mclemore.
So what did happen?

.The partial qualifier tag was placed on McLemore and Traylor due to the two players having murky high school transcripts:McLemore started his high school career at Wellston High in his hometown. Last year, he attended both Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., and Christian Life Center in Houston. Traylor attended Fenger and Julian High Schools in Chicago and IMG Academy in Florida last year.
Seems like a very dumb reason to hold kids out. But sounds very par the course for the NCAA.
Can't agree more man.
We lose out on Porter and Burke, give me CJ.
I think if we lose out on the top 5, I'd trade down for Caldwell Pope and/or Gobert. Then you can run one more year with Gordon and Lopez while they season. Gobert and Davis would make us so stout inside it would be sick. Him and Davis could workout together to gain some weight and be better than Gasol and Randolph from Memphis.
Even with Gobert, at crunch time or small ball lineup your running with Anderson and Davis.
