    I'll invent a new acronym for every time I see a big that's better than Meyers:

    BTB

    Better Than Butters.

    I noticed nobody has made a thread about this guy yet. Looks like a star in the making.

    Yeah boy, he sure showed those 6'2" Filipinos who's the man!

    I'd say his upside is a poor man's Zach Collins.

    I think I may have overestimated Zhou Qi's upside. As much as Zach Collins struggled as a rookie, Zhou was WAY worse on the offensive end. Here's a comparison of the advanced stats for their rookie years:

    The only thing Zhou did better than Zach is block shots - in 124 minutes of pure garbage time. Plus, he's two years older than Zach with three years experience playing professionally in China.

    Maybe we need a "Forum Members Mental Health" thread for HCP and KingSpeed, lol.

    Sometimes I’m convinced they don’t have each other ignored they’re just trolling everyone...

    I think that's definitely true of at least one of them. I'll let you figure out which one.

    What on earth is happening. Who is this guy and why are there two threads about him? Is he even an NBA player?

    The bolded part is a lie. The NBA did look at him - extensively:

    "The NBA reportedly did a second test on Austin, which confirmed Austin has Marfan Syndrom. The league follows the guidelines of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology which say people with Marfan Syndrome should not compete in high-intensity sports with contact."

    How dare you, sir! I meant, the NBA isn't going to let him play. Obviously NBA *doctors* have looked at him.

    Since some here have Collins in the HOF after an 8/5 night, they will want to sign him ASAP

    They don't. It's complete bullshit on king's part. I think it's hilarious how @HCP fucks with him about it.

    No one here has ever said anything close to that. You seem too have a real problem with anyone saying anything positive about our team or one of our players. Are you rooting for Collins to fail so you can say, "I told you so"? You seem much more invested in your own negativity than the success of the team.

    You'll say it was a joke. If it was, it wasn't funny the first 1000 times and gets less funny with each retelling.
