Bills By 40 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The kid looks like he had about as much athleticism as Sim Bhullar... Too bad that's all he needs! Kid can dunk on his tip-toes!! I think he'd fill a huge gap in our lineup... (a 7'5" gap, specifically) OT: did I see that they scored 103 points at the end of the video there? How often do high school teams do that and I wonder how many of those points were his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do high school teams do that and I wonder how many of those points were his. I read that his junior year stats weren't anything spectacular. He didn't even average 1.5 blocks a game being 7'5. I also read that he doesn't necessarily want to focus on making it to the NBA, but that he wants to be a biochemist.

AlumniFan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I read somewhere that he is expected to grow at least another 5 to 6 inches! Also, although the clip didn't show it, he is supposedly a 43% three point shooter. And 94% from the free throw line. Crews is trying to get an early verbal.

sludevil Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So this kid is projected to stand at around 8'? At that height, I don't care how (un)athletic you are. We're gonna find you a nice parking spot within 5 feet of the basket, and you're just gonna sit right there as we gently lob balls up to you. Same thing on D - just pick a spot right outside the restricted area and have a few orange slices as the other team tries in vain to arc something over you. It's perfect.

jimbofive Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 i hate to keep relying on south park to do my dirty work this morning, but it'll suffice. hope this dude doesn't get visited shortly by GREGG ODEN'S RAVEN... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd take this kid. Sure, he would be a project but his name is Taco - awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I read that his junior year stats weren't anything spectacular. He didn't even average 1.5 blocks a game being 7'5. I also read that he doesn't necessarily want to focus on making it to the NBA, but that he wants to be a biochemist. If you are 7'5 and your plan is something other than NBA you are basically slapping God in the face. It would be like being born with a pair of double D's and getting a boob reduction.

Keep up the south park references. I enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sludevil Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Speaking of our old friend Sim Bhullar, he's apparently entering the draft. The NBA one. For NBA-ready college players. Someone has given him some horrible, horrible advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't even make it up and down the damn court... he was embarrassing. Waste of a uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
