from insider:
"Mike Sweetney also helped himself. For big men, teams look at standing reach. Despite measuring just 6-foot-8 with shoes, Sweetney's standing reach was just a hair under nine feet. That puts him in the same category with Bosh. In other words, like Elton Brand, Sweetney will be able to play "taller" than he actually is. "
From Watching Sweetney play:
"ike Sweetney can put up good numbers VS inferior competition and still manage to have a small impact on a game. Sweetney is not the athlete Brand is, nor does he posess the touch or Body control that Brand does. And his long arms put him in the same class with Chris Bosh whil they are standing on the floor, but when they jump it is a whole different story. Bosh is a very athletic leaper. Sweetney isn't..
The point is Sweetney although he has long arms, and similar body type to Brand, Does not make him Brand,or bosh, or for that matter Spoon..haha.."
I don't need insider to tell me that!!
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
