    I love the pick! He needs to get stronger but that will come with time.

    No arguments there! I like the pick though. Gonzaga is a solid program to learn and hone your basketball skills. I hope it translates to a successful fit for us!

    Is he talking about Swanigan? That isn't very nice. :-)

    Collins is a better shot blocker. He's just taller and longer and will be a better rim protector. Noah is much stronger in terms of holding his ground in the post.

    It's racism, but of course politically correct racism, so it's okay.

    I like the pick. New York also has a big white guy and that's worked out pretty well for them.

    I don't understand how anyone cannot be excited about Zach. What checkbox does this guy not check as a basketball player?
    Motor/Passion for the game Check
    Passing Check
    Basketball IQ Check
    Size Check
    Shooting Check
    Being able to score inside with either hand Check
    Post game Check
    Reboudning Check
    Shot blocking Check
    No character issues to speak of Check

    Then don't have sex with him. I don't think most fans give a fuck how attractive the players are.

    Lol. I think he possibly was talking about the hat.....

    EDIT: yeah, he was. BTW- I think he's a great pick! Can't wait to see him and Nurk playing together....

    PorzinGOD is way different though... he shoots threes, can create off the dribble, and he is 7-3...

    He's white. Straight up where the skepticism comes from, because if you actually watch him play, there's no way you can hate him.
