    think about it for a second - and inverted version of Meyley.

    a 6'2" SG and had a season where he averaged 8boards a game - 4pts - 2blocks and who plays only in the paint. thanks for the $40m

    yet when he averages 2boards 2pts 0 blocks, yet still plays in the paint getting abused on D, why he doesn't get much playtime.

    "i can still help this team"

    fuck off.

    Four out of 20 are GS. We know first hand how it feels being disadvantaged.

    @swish3 Going forward, If you could keep only one, would you rather keep Meyers Leonard or Jusuf Nurkic ?

    I'm pretty sure he's a kid so take it easy on him.

    Meyers should be Grand Marshal of the 82nd Ave Rose Parade.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    What a nice thing to...wait, a second...there IS no 82nd Avenue! That's the haunted abandoned road project from the 1950s.

    Heartless.

    You should have called Meyers to Wal-mart the other day.

    This is off season is all about is to make yourself better. You work on your weakness so they can become a strength to you when the season comes up. Myers need quicker release this what he needs to work on and his low post moves. He need to work on his defense so he doesn't have to think to much out there. There drills out there to help him in these areas.

    Listening to Meyers' interviews, I get no impression that he thinks he is lacking in basketball fundamentals. He only talks about "getting confidence and getting in a rhythm."

    There is no doubt that he needs what you're suggesting but I don't think it's an area of focus. Getting stronger may be, but he has no idea how to position himself (giggity) to use his strength.

    If ever a guy needed to go back to big man basics camp it's Meyers.

    o
    Your right it all comes down to Myers where he wants to be as a player.
