No guy is their listed height, but if Wesley measured at 6'3" without shoes and Branham at 6'4", then Sochan I'd say is about 6'7"

I don't know what game it is you're talking about, but it can't be basketball since we've seen nothing from Sharpe that could qualify as such. I'd take the next clip 100 times out of 100 over Sharpe's same old jumping and dunking stunt. Watching Sharpe's clip in loop feels like eating refined...

Didn't pay much attention to him. Sounds like a possible rotation player down the road, but I don't know that I'd want to fill out the roster with low ceiling guys, I'd rather keep what we have and remain flexible to take advantage of whatever opportunities come along to add picks. But it's a...

I agree, but I think they'll put off plans until they have more concrete evidence, i.e. at the trade deadline. If they don't like Koloko, he's back in play. But if he is halfway competent, they're got going to give up a piece such as OG for a non star center. Hope it happens though.

I'm in, been in for months. That's not to say he's a given, or that he won't go through early struggles but, unlike Primo, the upside here is not some imaginary projection based on his character and age, he's got tremendous length, agility, speed, competitiveness, ability to get to the rim, create...

Toronto drafted Koloko and Charlotte (another team in desperate need for a C) drafted Mark Williams. That leaves only the Bulls as the team in urgent need of a rim protector, so for the time being it's them, or maybe some other team (Toronto?) at the trade deadline if something happens (injuries,...

Great write up. Last season really disappointing to me. I hated the draft, and failed to see whatever everyone else projected on Primo. That's still the case, though I hope it's me who's wrong. In any case, I thought we were really needing a youth & talent infusion and this draft was pivotal,...

+ Herb Jones, Moody, Tre Mann, Bones Hyland, Ayo Dosunmu, Jose Alvarado, etc.

This:

Sochan is a 60% FT shooter and 30% FT shooter. If he gets to 70% and 35%, he's an all star. Book it.

I'm hoping for that too :lol

You're right in that he plays bigger than his height anyways. But Sochan should be bigger than him still.

Going by his interviews, I'd be surprised if Sharpe knew who Lillard was :lol

Draymond is 6'5.75" without shoes, his standing reach is 8'9", and his wingspan is 7'1.25". There are no official measurements for Sochan, but he's supposedly 6'9" with a 7' wingspan. https://www.nba.com/stats/draft/combine-anthro/?SeasonYear=2012-13

Nah... he's much smarter and his impact is much less predicated on athleticism. Marion's impact on the stat sheet was much greater than on actual games, and the opposite is true for Sochan.

He's more Draymond than AK47, in that his biggest strength comes from his intelligence, not his length. He's still long, longer than Draymond (quite a bit).

Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham have multiple all star potential (not saying that is necessarily the case, but could be), but if his shot develops, Sochan is a perennial all defensive and maybe even some all NBA caliber player. Not the best player on a championship team, certainly not by the...
