Morant is nowhere near as fast, he can jump out the gym though.

The Hawks will find a way to trade up for Barrett.

I don’t know what “IT” is but Ja has it.

Whoever is training them needs to go, their genetics can't be that bad.

He couldn't keep his team closer than 30 against FSU. That's not future NBA star material.

I finally found the ideal comparison for Zion. He's like an undersized Darryl Dawkins.

I think a better comparison for Zion is NGC 4889, a supermassive blackhole. It is one of the largest known objects in the universe with 21 billion times the mass of the sun.

so many of his passes were muffed by sub-nba talent. he's well worth a top 5 pick, so much more so than Lonzo, Fultz, and Ayton.

Wow, tournament has really clarified things. New draft board:

1. TACKO
2. Zion
3. Ja
4. Who cares

Ja had been battling through an ankle injury the last gew weeks and tweaked it again early in the game.

His vision and game sense is world class and he's continued to prove the shooting skeptics wrong

In all seriousness with the way this draft drops off after the top 5, I’d be totally okay with a team taking a flyer on TACKO in the lottery.

I’d also force him to shoot FT’s underhand.

I heard Tacko in the NBA compared to Hasheem Thabeet, which I some what get. But Tacko still has 3 inches on Thabeet. Dude is such a freak it is worth a shot at some point.

Tacko has a legit 10’5” standing reach.

He doesn’t even need to jump to dunk.

Tacko has trained with Hakeem before. I imagine he would train with him again if he were in the NBA.

Can Tacko be Boban Lite as a 3rd center?

Boban:

Height: 7′ 3″
Wingspan: 7′ 10″
Weight: 291 lbs
Standing Reach: 9' 7"

Tacko:
Height: 7' 6"
Wingspan: 8' 4"
Weight: 310 lbs
Standing Reach: 10' 5"

Tacko will be Boban 2.0

I think Tacko can be a serviceable player in the league. Backup center and power forward, maybe better than that. If he just focused on rebounding and changing shots seems like he could excel at that. Got a better body than most of the guys that size, Bol, Ming, Bradley, Burleson.

With all the pick and rolling and switching, walking stiffs don’t really exist in the nba anymore.

Someone like Tacko should literally dribble a basketball everywhere he goes. When he's not dribbling, he should be tossing a tennis ball hand to hand. I remember Magic Johnson talking about dribbling everywhere he went as a kid to improve his handles.

I wonder what the cutting edge training is for increasing dexterity. It seems like it is something that can be improved with huge amounts of repetitions. I do wonder though if some people just have something in their biological make up that cannot be fixed. I really want to see Tacko make it in the league but he will need to be able to control the ball and his movements better.
