    he's now closer to 250 than 205.
    McHale was 205 after 4 years of college.

    Is there an echo in here? I answered you on that a week ago.

    Anyone with eyes can see that he's not 30 pounds lighter than Nurkic. A 250-pound center is a full-size center. 280 is one of the biggest in the league. Collins is a stick figure forward.

    Edit: Here's the thread from a week ago. Start at post #15.

    If I’m Mario I’m going back to Barca after this.

    Also, maybe it’s just an optical illusion, but Melo looks as lean as I’ve ever seen him.

    That's crazy. Maybe he wanted to shed some weight now that he's full time SF.

    If you want my professional opinion, and I know you do, I think he finally figured out how to trick LeBron James into giving up the location of the fountain of youth.

    feels like quarantine either got you in the worst, or in the best, shape of your life, no in between.

    I know it’s practice, but that form looks clean and repeatable. It’s curtains for the league.

    But seriously, go look at Jokic’ percentages and compare it to the respect he gets. All Nurk has to show is he can make it from time to time. His playmaking will demand the respect.

    The excitement for Nurkic is starting to become too much - how am I supposed to wait 17 more days?!

    Will Nurk make the all star team?

    Geez the way everybody is talking about Nurk and Zach and Melo, it sounds like we'll roll 27-0.

    Oh I think he will at some point in his career. His offensive game, with that additional range, is going to be phenomenal and on D he is as solid as they come. If we settle into a two man game with him and Dame next season, he'll get looked at for the all star team and after that I think he'll be there every year.

    Given his role, production, and inexperience, Ant is the player I'm most worried about performing well in the bubble.
