Unfortunately, that's how it seems as of right now. This guy has a better shot and is a worse defenderand is a little smaller is all.

That's some faggoty stuff, mods.
Happy 23rd birthday to the kid
Worse defender? Didn't this guy make an All Defensive Team for his conference at least?Quote:

Mills, Parker, Forbes, White, Murray, Green, Simmons. That's not even counting Manu, Leonard and Anderson that can also play one of those positions. Now add potentially Hanga coming in this year. That's 11 positions!!!
On the other side you got slip pickings with Bertans, Pau, Aldridge, Blossomgame.
Obviously now... someone is not making the team or is being traded.
Worse defender? Uhhh... I guess we'll see, but this kid could D up.Quote:

Yeah, although I've been hard on this kid, I like his defensive potential rather than his offensive game, tbh. He could do some things on that side of the court.Quote:

Maybe. I don't see him being that good at the NBA level though.Quote:

Not sure where youre you're getting that. Did you take the time to look at his combine results?Quote:

White measured 6'4.5 with shoes with a 6'7.5 wingspan which is very similar to the physical measurements of Chicago Bulls guard Jerian Grant, but his athletic testing results are very similar to those of Mike Conley's.
Besides the fact he looks like KA, I dont understand the hate for this kid! He'll be in the D League his 1st yr anyeays...
Too many posters not consulting the draft report and making comments based on the 'eye-test'.Quote:

I think Murray may be out of a job.
This is my 1st time watching videos of this dude... I like him. I really like lil Forbes, but I think he's the odd man out... his height will be his downfall.
