    But seriously, I like the high release on his shot. That’ll give him a chance against better athletes.

    Don’t wanna compare him to a white guy but let me compare him to a white guy: a young Ryan Anderson. Similar release. Same build. Good rebounders. Not strictly floor spacers.

    I can see the Bird comparison on his release, that's about where it ends.

    Not in today's NBA. Today he would have to play C - like Kevin Love has to these days.

    Sounds fair enough. Is he still in the league?

    Kevin Love still plays primarily PF.

    If Blazers dint keep Aminu, I could see a spot for Daum on the team. He’d be a nice guy off the bench at the 4 spot. He certainly knows what to do with the ball when he gets it.

    Well, really, I am closer to her parents. But it's a town of 200 people, so everyone pretty much knows everyone.

    I’ve read the questions about his athleticism, or lack of, but I don’t know. I’m not saying he’s a plus athlete or anything, but he’s not out there laboring either. I’ve seen less athletic guys at his position make it. Ryan Anderson isn’t any more athletic and he’s made over $100m in his career, and if it weren’t for injuries, he’d still be useful. I bet Daum would’ve been drafted if he were European. I’m only half kidding. I’m actually really intrigued, and look forward to summer league.

    I know nothing about but what I've read, but he looked fine there. Like you said, he's not a plus athlete, but he's no stiff at all
