    He's 2 weeks from 17. He's a year old for his class.

    Additionally, his frame and fluidity of motion can't handle too much more weight before it makes his motion very awkward.

    Again, I've talked to scouts who've seen him play and develop for years, not just a 2minute highlight reel.
    i'm not speaking of his development as a player or how good his game will translate. i'm talking about his frame/bulk

    Here is KG's high school video. If you think OP's movements/agility look similar, I don't know what to tell you tbh..I'm not saying OP sucks - I'm saying something negative that stood out from that video.

    FuzzyLumpkins. Most of your posts are vanilla unfortunately and if you disagree with me it only means I am on the right track. Have fun watching the YouTube highlights and seeing only the good (which is tough to do in highlight videos against people who play probably about as good as you do).
    bunch of claptrap that says almost nothing. talk about what you see on the video instead of how I make you feel okay, Patrice?

    There are several clips where you can see him running the floor. There are several clips where you can see his jumping. There are several clips in his ballhandling stuff where you can see his bend at the knees and hips. After the video they embedded more videos of his doing drills. we are talking about fluidity and not evaluating his defensive prowess. There is more than enough footage of him moving to make a decent assessment. How long do combine drills take, chachi?

    You don't even defend your original statement. You backtrack and claim that it is hard to see. That is more telling than silly posturing about being on the 'right track.'

    You don't even know how to put what you see into words outside of emotional quips.

    Yup much like I thought. Garnett is a better leaper but the kid in the OP has better bend.

    You certainly lack articulation. If you go back to emotional responses like the last with nothing of substance then I am going to ignore it this time. You can and HH can circle jerk unfettered.

    I talk to you like I would a child. I would only explain things to you like I would a child. I told you the concern I had based on the video. It was very specific. You disagreed while throwing in a generic vanilla bean insult & I laughed at you because you're silly tbh...

    I didn't realize you were remotely serious. If you watch the OP vid & KG vid and think they move the same, again there is nothing I can say at this point. There's no argument to be had.

    you talk to children like that? What an asshole.

    In the OP they do a bit on ballhandling where you can see him run the floor and bend and move as he crosses people over. he has good natural bend. he doesn't struggle to get low so he can move side to side like a whole lot of big guys like that do struggle.

    I am now repeating stuff you do not refute because you lack capacity. You are like arguing with a child.

    But you did come back with something. The first paragraph was digs but you did make qualitative statements about the prospect. So I responded.

    And you did have me laughing. So I posted that. I mean you are calling me a child and then respond with petulant like that. I got you in a tizzy though. tee, hee . . .

    At the end of the day you have yet to articulate anything really meaningful beyond "I don't know what to tell you" as for the discussion at hand.

    Nice work, DPG. I can see why HH sees you as a top poster.

    People misunderstand. Theoretically Durant is nowhere near maxed out, but he's 95% a finished physical product due to frame. Thon is similar. He isn't just skinny, he's thin. His frame isn't going to support an ideal weight/strength gain up to 7-1, 250+ for a big without draftically affecting his athletici, fluidity and range of motion, quickness, etc.

    He's far likelier to max out at 7-1, 225 than 7-1, 250, and being that he's 7-1, 200 already, scouts are concerned his age and frame suggest he's near his physical max.

    Have to see...

    You are the human equivalent of a saltine cracker minus the salt. No flavor - just plain.

    What is there to explain ? Because you think he's as athletic as KG and say he bends his knees (something you should be doing to DPG TBH..) you think that is substantial?

    You seem mad that HH laughed at my joke and no one has laughed at your Nabisco Premium Cracker style jokes. Let it go...

    Again, if you think he looks as fluid/mobile as KG, cool. There is nothing to argue about at that point.

    What's funny is that I said he has skills and good straight line athleticism. I simply pointed out one thing I saw as a flaw. You disagreed and talked about bending his knees and called him KG and that somehow meant you were having this high level conversation

    If you aren't going to be funny, you should at least bring knowledge to the table and be less awkward about things. When you have the humor equivalent of passover bread you have to bring the goods on the other end and you are just not unfortunately.

    DPG just went mad at the cruel fact that some high school kid is about twice as tall as he is, tbh.

    you are so full of . this is the most you have articulated the entire team. now it seems I will have to talk to you as a child because you have no clue.

    When you are looking for a good side to side athlete what do you look for? what physically will you see from a guy. I will give you a hint: the cliche of playing defense in basketball is to get low in your stance and bend your knees. I talk about him bending his hips and knees because that is how it physically manifests. Further i did not say he only is able to bend. What i said was that he is able to sit down like that naturally and fluidly. That is what you could contest: the physical characteristic he shows that demonstrates lateral agility.
