    Bazemore? Weren’t you talking about Daum?

    Him too. Just from their form, release and follow through. One of those is a repeatable stroke. The other looks like a broken catapult on caravan with a missing wheel.

    Great band playing here at the Moneyline in Park MGM. Classic Rock and Classic R&B and the guitar player shreds.

    What's kept this guy out of the NBA? Shot almost 45% on threes over 115 games in the G-league. And apparently quite an athlete: "Another record-breaking performance in the athletic testing was put in by Keith Hornsby, son of Grammy award winner Bruce Hornsby. The senior posted what would be the fastest ¾ court sprint time ever (even faster than Simmons) by a decent margin, while also recording the quickest shuttle time of anyone in the group. To top that off, he measured a 42 ½ inch running vertical leap, and bench pressed the 185 pound bar 22 times, which ranks among the best performances ever for someone his size (6'2 ½ without shoes, 208 pounds). The one negative were his tiny hands, which would be tied for the smallest ever recorded length wise, and rank second smallest ever width wise.

    Could it be those tiny hands and the fact his wingspan is same as height?

    Doesn't turn the ball over much (.8 in 28 minutes a game) so tiny hands don't seem to hurt him there.

    Those are Zach Randolph measurements. He got by with limited athletic ability.

    Swanigan has been garbage from day 1. I couldn't believe all the hype he got from his summer league performances.

    An inch is a big deal. Just ask HCP's wife.

    45% from '3'? Hornsby has the Range.

    I heard Ferral last night say he was in Vegas and watched Zion workout and that he looked way fat and out of shape. Said he's been so busy coming and going with appearance after appearance and diner after dinner he's out of shape. Looks it against other pro prospects. Also he's more than round mound of rebound than Lebron. 6'5" at best.

    I think that’s the question about Zion, all the talent in the world but can he manage his body well? I hope he does because he’s really exciting.
