    It's clear who everyone is, and Meyers has 2 of whatever it is. And T-Rob is not listed with the bigs, while Claver is...

    I remember from elementary school that getting your name written on the board with two check marks was bad. He probably was not keeping his hands, feet, and body to himself.

    I really hate this idea. Meyers is too awkward to be a stretch four. Aldridge is one of the most agile and quick bigs in the league. I just don't see it at all.

    I've been saying Meyers is a PF since we drafted him. Nobody believed me. He's a power forward. If his offensive game takes off he'll get minutes. Stotts coached Dirk for quite awhile and young Dirk was a horrible defender very awkward in the paint. Sound familiar? Not that Leonard is close to Dirk but he's a PF who is defensively challenged and has a good looking shot with range

    After seeing meyers try to head the ball into the basket last night(would that have counted?) I can't help but imagine a seal when I think of him.

    He's a marginal NBA player, he's neither a center nor a power forward. All he did is make the happy accident of growing to 7 feet tall and being able to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

    underselling him a bit. I actually think he could he an excellent volleyball player. As for basketball player.... I'm willing to give him a 2-year vet min. contract after this year.

    I didn't say he's a shit athlete, I said "he's a marginal NBA player." To wit, he's probably easily in the top 99.999th percentile on the world's athletic spectrum, but it doesn't mean he's any good at basketball.

    I must have been absent the day that blinders were handed out.
