    There's a saying among referees:

    Have a patient whistle. Start, develop, finish.

    You always blow your whistle during the finish of the play. That ref had a quick whistle and blew it during the development stage of the play.

    But you always agree with referees...

    Odd you would say that since I said in another post that I didn't think it was a foul.

    2 out of 2 referees agree.

    No he's arguing for his flimsy white guys suck at basketball case.

    Which is a shitty one as Hayward's the biggest ticket on the market right now.

    I will say one thing after watching some highlights of this kid one of the first thing that stand out to me.... absolutely great footwork. Probably the best of any big in the draft. But he''ll probably have to get over that White American Center Pronation Bias.... tough thing that. Oh the hostility that has crippled many strong men! :ghoti:

    Can't wait for the Summer League though. Once he puts on a few pounds and works on his core strength..... look out.

    Watched some of Zach Collins back HS today just to see him in a different setting and I think his feel as a passer is better than you'd think if you just watched during his year at Gonzaga. Nothing really advanced, but read double teams well and can hit cutters.

    I have watch some too it like he was more of passer in HS than he was in college. I know he came around in strength in college wasnt real strong in HS. If he continue get stronger he will be good addition for us.

    Swanigan showed such a high level/elite feel I totally forgot about Collins.

    And Collins was my #1 target since last winter.

    Yeah, i just LOVE it when a ref blows his whistle to call a foul before the foul even happens, especially when, oops, there was no foul. Happens in the NBA more than it should

    Poor Zack went for being viewed as the next goat here to being basically forgotten in the span of 1 summer league game

    He needs to get his self confidence in check. Nobody will make it in the NBA if they are that down on themselves.
