He is 10th I think. He is 7 feet tall and a really good athlete. Kind of raw but may develop into a Tyson Chandler type.

KIND of?
He is sushi raw.
He has not been born yet raw.

Holy crap.
No hands.
No basketball sense.
No pivot moves, no offensive skills whatsoever.
I watched him multiple times this year.

Reclaimation, reclaimation.
He will be a true project.

Fransisco Elson is a better athlete
thatn Jordan and he is just flat out
a bad basketball player that happens to
be an athlete.

Is Mel Kuiper doing this rating also?

Walmarts do well there,because it is not a high-end town.It's a low-end town.

Never claimed to be smart,

Just curious.

Where is the outrage?
The Republicans destroyed the city?

No.
All just a bunch of dumb Mexican democrats.

UTSA.
Bout 35,000 kids.
Not on the level of UT in Austin(got to be top 7%)
or blast the SAT.

Best school in the city is Trinity University
by far. A very good private school but very expensive.
Just for the rich white Republican kids from California
that can afford it.

He is 19 and 7 feet 260. He can run and jump. You can teach guys how to play basketball but there are very few with the physical tools that he has. I have no idea if he will work hard enough to become a good NBA player or just be a second stringer but the guy has the physical parts.

Well,I was just wondering if I missed some well-known University
in the town. Where is Texas A&M?

Even if he does work hard I have my doubts.
He was absolutely awful. Its not like he just started
playing. He looks like some foreign kid that they saved
from being eaten who has never played.


But then again so
was Hakeem his freshman year at Houston.
But he had never played before.
And there was some basic instinct and
he moved his feet very well (soccer in Nigeria I think).

I think its money down the tube with Jordan if he comes
out this raw. He will totally lose confidence, even if he steps
on a developmental league court at this time.

Not for the racing.

For the simulcasting.
Got a machine to myself and every track in
the country on TV. For a whopping 2 bucks.
I hear these tales of trashy OTB's in NY and
I realize I have my own heaven.

My in-laws that live in LA where shocked at
the facility for wagering (they have since moved back).
Went to Hollywood upon a visit
and honestly in was the biggest trashiest dump
I have been to. Maybe its cleaned up.

Guess I should have gone to Santa Anita when
they had all those 4 horse fields.

ATM is in a town called Bryan. And thats about
all there is. Austin would be equivalent to California.
Keep Austin Weird T-shirts everywhere. Very liberal town.

And look up Trinity University in San Antonio. Its always rated
in the top 20 small private schools. Never would have accepted me,
my daugher, but not me.

That's either one of Saturns rings or a big glob of medicated goo.

Very nice.

I loved LA along the coastline last I visited.
Palos Verdes overlooking the Pacific.
The temperature in the summer was incredible.
Everyone was exercising. I got to run along the
strand.
Water is way damn cold though.

But once you start moving inshore. Temp changes,
and so does the city.

Doesn't UCLA already have daily pick up game filled with former stars that left early and flopped? Love needs to stay and increase his first round value after his 4th year and a degree.

All schools have pick up games with ex-Iwannabeapros playing.

With Love I think you got a guy that is what you see is
what you get. Because he is not athletic, he does not
have a tremendous upside (such as a guy like Jordan at ATM
might have).

So staying... I dont know how much it helps him. I think the question
is this a weak year for Centers. I dont know how many foreign guys
are being looked at. If Hibert at Georgetown is considered the gold
standard (which I hope he is not), then Love would be a lottery pick. I really dont know what kind of "Center" year this is.

What is clear to me is that you dont find guys that
large with that kind of basketball skill level. He is smart
in so many ways on the court that a lot of what he does
lack, jumping, speed, he makes up for.

I can only speak my opinion for one pro team. Imo the
Spurs would take him in a heartbeat. As I stated earlier, he
is better than any "Center" they have now. The only question
would be if he could handle the very quick switching defense
one particular pro team requires. I also think he is better than
Splitter who will be with the Spurs most likely next year.

Beasely is obviously the first pick in the draft unless some team
has found a really good foreign player.
