NBA vs NCAA

I think Chism is the player most fit to develop in the NBA physically because he has adequate height and has very good footwork and is pretty athletic for his height. He also can shoot the outside ball and has been dominant at times. I think the thing with him is can he play hard every game for 82 games. I dont think he'll ever be a star or anything or even break a starting lineup for that matter but he could find a spot as a role player on alot of rosters. Without an outside shot I dont like Tyler Smiths chances in the NBA. He lacks elite ball handeling to be playing the 3 spot and doesnt have near the shooting ability. If he was just a few inches taller he would make a good 4 but in the NBA 6'7 is way undersized. T Smith is a victim of being a twinner type player and he will likely make a roster for a few seasons but I dont see him making a huge impact. As for JP Prince I won't even entertain the thought of him in the NBA.

As opposed to pushing out on him and allowing him to get to the rim every time, I guarantee every opponent's scouting report says to make him hit jumpers.

Without a doubt. He'll get the 20 footer for the rest of his life.

Ok Hat, what about Rasheed Wallace? Although I was young when he was at UNC I don't exactly remember him being the shooter he is today. That might have to do with UNC's offense and that he didn't need to leave the paint because of the lack of quality big men in college to defend him inside. Just a thought off the top of my head after reading a few posts, I've done absolutely no research on this.

Rasheed rarely steeped outside 10 feet in college, making it a tough evaluation. He was always a pretty good shooter. He added some range, which is a different discussion than going from a bad shooter to a good one.

And that's part of the problem with this discussion. People want to talk almost solely about 3 %. That's just not the mark of a great shooter.

For me, good shooters are made and can improve some, great shooters are born. That's why truly great shooters are at a premium.

kevin Willis' short-ass arms were jacked and ripped.

Most physically imposing has to be Shaq. Gigantic, strong and very quick.

David Robinson had some ripped arms back in the day too.

Anyone who pays Marvin Williams that is a GM looking to get fired. If athleticism over shooting works, how exactly is it that San Antonio is the best team of the last decade? In fact, there's a pretty good argument that no NBA champion since the Showtime Lakers had more than average athleticism across their roster.

Luc Longley, Bill Wennington, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Ron Harper (age and after knee problems) and Jud Buechler weren't great athletes?

And Magic wasn't a great athlete or a great jump shooter.

Can we change the conversation and start drooling over professional golfers' physiques?

I'll start.

Raymond Floyd's got some sweet man boobs.
