I missed the fun of pronouncing odd names, like Dikembe Mutombo. Therefore, I approve of this pick.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Although nbadraft.net is kinda crazy sometimes, they do have his comparison as Bruce Bowen. That would be nice.

2 SFs, maybe they are looking for someone to help cut down on Melo's minutes if he comes back. Don't know if Melo would play SF if he comes back though. We'll see.

He's a way better athlete than Bowen. This guy is like an even rawer KJ McDaniel.

I think it's more about style of play, not athleticism. Bowen was a key part of championship teams because of his defense and ability to hit shots. But it doesn't seem like 100% level comparison on the surface.

Yeah, TA seems to have more a reckless, fullcourt quality to his game. Kinda like Gerald Wallace.

We'd all be floored if it was anywhere near Gerald Wallace.

Yeah, he'll probably be closer than Anthony Bonner than Crash, if he's lucky. I'm just comparing their energy and style of play.

HEY no joking but this kid is LEGIT!!! You will not be making jokes when you see how athletic and active he is defensively. He's HUNGRY!!! He in fact is already on his way to be being like Gerald Wallace IMO. He's a natural defender and has great timing on blocks. I was kind of hoping we might take a chance on him so this was a great pick in my book.

I love this pick just watched a 16 minute video of his strengths and weakness... This guy looks awesome. Seems to have a better shot then his bro, great handle and can really fly and seems like a polished finisher around the rim . He's a defensive stud. Plays a lot like his brother. He looks very fit and filled out unlike his skinny brother. Maybe Phil's real plan is to team up these brothers one day! This pick may really pay off next year

Good stuff. This guy will always have a place in the league as long as he's healthy. It'd be nice if he developed a decent 3.

I hear he's already developing his 3pt shot so...

I think his brother is awesome so I made a point of watching a couple of dleague games of his. I think he is a good end of the second round pick but I was not super impressed when I watched him. Hopefully he is still developing and becomes a freak like his bro.
