    But we can go deeper !
    RHJ and #15 for Nurk, Collins and Project Pat. That sounds pretty good...

    Except Zach will be what we wanted Meyers to be--I'm not worried.

    Oh I'm not worried. I don't think Collins will be Meyers at all. That pic took me aback a little though

    Plot Twist: The reason everyone was so high on Meyers and subsequently disappointed is because parts of life are pre determined and we knew our PFOTF would come deliver us, but we confused Meyers with Collins, so when Meyers didn't play like Collins we took it as if we were lied to.

    No worries, really. From what I've seen, Collins may not end up being be great, but at least he'll bring a shred of value to the hardwood. Confident in that

    ^kidding, obviously.

    Meyers is going to blow up.

    But it'll be three seasons from now, and then he'll bounce, and he'll reference S2 with a big "F U!"

    Insane question: if Collins does in fact have the foot speed necessary to effectively defend the perimeter, and is able to demonstrate effective NBA 3-point range, what more would Collins need to be able to do in order to be theoretically passable at small forward?

    I wouldn't confuse not embarrassing himself on the perimeter with being able to consistently defend it. It's like Aldridge. I felt comfortable when he got switched onto a guard, but I wouldn't ever want to get used to it.

    There's a reason I said "if".

    I'm not saying he can or he can't, but "if" he could defend the perimeter effectively and consistently, is there a specific reason he couldn't play the 3?

    You're right. And Johnny Manziel could become a HOF QB and lead the Browns to a Superbowl win.

    I want what your smoking! Nah but in all seriousness, I would love for meyers to turn into the player we drafted him to be... I just dont see it. If he had it in him he would have displayed more than a glimpse every 15 games. Its just not in the cards for him. I'm over the Meyers experiment
