Well at least you put a tiny bit of thought into your response, unlike these other mouth breathing trolls. Can't say I agree with you though; seems pretty agile for a man that big. I wonder if people thought Gates was a freak of nature when he was failing to make it as a basketball player.

Or Jimmy Graham? Not excactly a stellar basketball career at Miami either.

Remember when Melvin Goins or someone else said he could play DB? Yeah, while it was fun to think about, it was never going to work.

I remember the opposite situation. Kevin O'Neil's first year I think they only had like 7 players who were anything close to resembling college basketball players, the word quickly spread that they were going to have to get some football players to play basketball. But O'Neil squashed all those rumors. I still remember the press conference, he said something like "We're playing with who we have, no football players, no baseball players, no sumo wrestlers."

O'Neil wasn't much of a head coach but main he was awesome on the mic.

I can't help but think he's too small to play inside in the NBA, and too slow to play outside. Could he be another Antonio Gates type conversion? He's got the wide body, understands how to position, and has decent speed.

Stokes can't catch a basketball consistently. That's all you need to know. Dude has very little hand-eye coordination.

Wombat, you sound as if you know something for sure here. Are you making a guarantee or something?

I dont see it happening but I agree with you hes definitely got the body of a football player. It makes me think he would look good at LB with his speed and size.
