*USA Basketball* WOMEN EARN GOLD v. ESP (101-72)! MEN EARN GOLD v. SRB (96-66)!

KD is so much taller than Carmelo, and looks identical in height, to Demarcus Cousins, I knew he was tall but watching the practices confirms it.
 
KD's probably taller than Cousins. 

There's a pic of the Thunder lineup standing side by side in last year's playoffs and KD was visibly taller than Ibaka and Adams.
 
I said this earlier, but I swear KD has grown in the last couple years. He's a legit over 7' now, IDC.

Nah I honestly think dude just improved his posture. He used to have a weird hunch back while standing

My man Lowry :lol: still laugh at the raps saying he had 5% BF this year.

KD is a combo of saying he's shorter and most NBA players being shorter than they say. Most guys are 2 inches shorter than they say b/c they're measured in shoes. KD is probably 2 inches taller than he says. I'd say he's 6'11''

Jabari Parker has looked terrible in all the footage I've seen through the first two days of camp. :lol: Stopping the ball, forcing jumpers, driving into traffic, etc.

I've watched just about all of the footage that's out there of the Select Team scrimmaging both eachother and the Men's Team and Mudiay, Oladipo, Ingram and Jabari have been terrible. Myles Turner, Aaron Gordon and Stanley Johnson have been good and I've been impressed with Lavine's confidence....you can tell he really believes he can play against anybody. Julius Randle still thinks every time he grabs a rebound he needs to push the ball like he's LeBron...still does the exact same **** he did in college. And McDermott hasn't been able to hit a 3 pointer to save his life but he had one nice dunk.
 
The more I see Randle, the more I see low potential he has. I think a 10/10 guy is what his career is going to be.
 
Randle just doesn't play winning basketball. He wants to push the ball and go coast to coast like LeBron and make fancy passes and try to catch the ball up at the top of the key and cross people to get to the basket but he usually ends up just playing out of control. He can definitely be more than a 10/10 guy but he needs to be able to hit that 15-18 footer instead of driving into the whole defense and throwing some **** up.

Mudiay on the other hand I have ZERO faith in. I do not like his game at all and he looks like a damn turnover machine. I don't see the potential in him.

So? It's not unheard of for guys to never get much better/produce more than they did as rookies. Look at Brandon Jennings and OJ Mayo.

Whatever dude :lol: terrible examples seeing how 11/10 was numbers he avg'd while playing only 28 mins a game. With a high usage and improvement he's going to up those numbers very nicely.

With Ingram, Deng and an improving Nance I don't think his playing time is going to go up much honestly.
 
If randle could play defense and average a double double that would be pretty valuable. Defense is a bit more difficult to predict that developing your offense

Randle will definitely have competition for playing time
