    outlier?

    it would be more credible if those results matched lane agility and 3/4 sprint. But they didn't

    they didn't do a shuttle run when Meyers was at the combo so I just compared Meyers to Yang since we actually saw Meyers for several seasons on an NBA floor against NBA players. Haven't seen Yang yet, but the combine comparison to Meyers was pretty similar

    Love to see the mainstream media do a 180. Both these guys slammed the pick, now they're singing a different tune:

    well, Meyers averaged 8.3 rebounds as a rookie in SL. Yang is averaging 4. Maybe Yang should close his eyes

    My guy, I put an "lol" on top of the stats, for just that reason.

    However, there is also a good reason to use the stats: many of the negative arguments I've heard are comparing SUMMER LEAGUE Yang to PRIME Jokic. Instead let's compare apples to apples, even though, as you point out, we don't have the sample size to do that.

    Joking about Meyers was a real thing for years

    it could have been a drinking game about how many minutes Meyers played each game before he got smacked in the face. It happened every single game,,,,and he always looked surprised

    What if we'd have drafted a 20 year old Hansen instead of Biebs?
    Drink!

    It almost sounded like these two thought the Blazers moved up to get him.....not down. Did I hear that wrong?
