    We already have a project player. His name is Meyers Leonard. For the sixth year. :sigh:

    You need to say something very negative, piss people off and then play the victim card. Sounds easy, but apparently it takes years of practice to perfect the craft.

    Thanks for the advice. How's this:

    Your Mother is a Hamster and your Father smells of Elder Berries!

    And LaVar Ball and his son can beat your aunt and your grandma at basketball!!

    Wrong.
    My mother is on xhamster and my father smells of the elderly.

    My aunt has cancer and all of my grandmas are dead.






    How do you feel now?

    If we're relying on our 14th and 15th men for anything other than carry bags and waiving towels, I'd say we're already fucked.

    It would be funny if it wasn't true. But then again, I wouldn't expect anyone here to care.

    Except connaughton would be relied on to play, which is even worse.

    Some interesting examples of players who did not take off until 25 or so:

    Whiteside
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/whiteha01.html
    Brad Miller
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/millebr01.html
    Laimbeer
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/laimbbi01.html
    Przybilla
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/przybjo01.html


    I'm not optimistic that Meyers will make this list, but . . .

    The bad news though is that most of the games decent to great centers come into the league ready to contribute in their early 20s. But, there is a chance.

    Well, if he's part of the rotation, by definition, he's not our 14th man.

    I get an assist on that one! I just knew when I was typing it I would get this kind of response. This forum is very predictable.

    Those players also weren't in their sixth year at 25......and Joel hardly "took off."
