Hope we don't make the same mistake with Leonard as we did with Jermaine...

    As a 20 year old they're putting up similar numbers except that as a 20 year old Jermaine was 3 years into the league.

    Oh ya, but Jermaine was black and Meyers is white

    Amazing to me it's been 13 years and people still bring up trading O'Neal as an example for every young guy on our team.

    Jermaine was a PF

    Sheed and Grant said daily that he destroyed them in practice

    Haven't heard that about Leonard

    Don't be dense. This is the only time I've brought up Jermaine and if you don't see the similarities between the two I don't know what to tell you.

    I don't think I've ever used the 'Jermaine Oneal example' once on this board. I just love the short-sightedness of a bunch of posters on here. Its funny.

    CYu are once again being passive aggressive towards me, but I agree with you. You never bring him up

    O'Neal played most his career at Center.

    I just hope the Blazers don't trade him for the 2016 version of Stale Davis.

    I doubt that Meyers will start complaining about more playing time. Next year he will be playing whether he is ready or not.

    He's a rookie halfway through his rookie campaign.... little early to start comparing him to Jermaine O'Neal.

    He's a project, like Jermaine.

    For those surprised at his performance this year clearly didn't watch him last year or even in Vegas.

    He's a good 3 years away.

    How many players show nothing their first year, and then actually turn out to be impact players?

    Whats your definition of show nothing. A PER of 12 with a Usage Rate of 12.5 is nothing for a 20 year old rookie, there has been a lot of bigs that have been good that had a lot worse of a showing in their rookie year.

    Side question: why do players from Gonzaga look like girls?
