    Remember when he was supposedly the steal of the draft and possibly the next big thing?

    I like Jim Barry Wines from the Clare Valley.

    Trent doesn't seem to lack any confidence. I want to see him with Wade though.

    I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Biggie (but not for Olshey).

    Swanigan plays like he thinks he’s a lot better than he actually is. One constant with him is I don’t see how he’ll EVER score in the post in the NBA. He’s undersized with no explosion.

    He just doesn't seem to have any touch. And I said this before, but he looks like he's running in molasses.

    Seriously though, I would love Biggie if he would start laying people out. Set some mean screens. But he doesn't.

    Biggie should just model his game after Sam Perkins.

    He should just focus on rebounding, setting better picks, and improving his face up game. Forget the post ups.

    What's interesting is how he looks so much worse than last year's SL.

    Same with Collins until he gets the strength to back someone down.

    2 completely unrelated theories:

    Overhead cam: ESPN's best attempt at trying to simulate the view from video games??? That's what it looks like to me.

    Swanigan: Looks to me like an out of shape guy playing on the second night of a back-to-back (which is exactly what he is...) Conditioning looks to be a serious factor in this game...

    he does not not do much of anything, a really bad pick when guys like Kuzma, Jordan Bell, Josh Hart, Semi were available
