He don't got room for anymore tats

He can get them removed and start over like 50 cent

Pharrell did this too

He got tatted up like crazy last summer. Here he is at Nike Hoop Summit:

I'm still mad as hell I dropped bread on these shorts and the bum *** mesh on the side ripped after one trip up and down the floor.

Draft buzz: Should Lakers pass on Brandon Ingram at No. 2?

http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/stor...-jamal-murray-ben-simmons-more-2016-nba-draft

Summary:

GM floated that the Lakers should take Marquese Chriss
Lakers are likely to draft Brandon Ingram, should the 76ers draft Ben Simmons
Celtics, Suns and Wolves taking a look at Chriss, bet on the Suns
Jamal Murray in the 3-6 range because his athleticism is questioned
Dejounte Murray is in the 8-17 range
Malachi Richardson may have a promise in the late lottery-teens
Isaiah Cousins tabbed as potential second round steal

 

[brandon3000]

Lakers taking Ingram at 2 is easy money. Probably the most relaxing spot in the draft for a GM.

The Suns are the last team that could afford to go with Marquese Chriss the way their last few years have transpired. I guess if you think he's the best player - but no he's much, much worse than that.

Tough for me to take Chriss over Bender.

Looks like he isn't a fan of ulis either

Comparing him to Larkin. I don't buy the comparison

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Ulis is a much better shooter than Larkin.

I really like Bender a lot from what I've watched, think he is gonna be a great defender and a solid shooter.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Both these guys love felder more than ulis. I can't lie he's intriguing as a sleeper

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Looks like he isn't a fan of ulis either

I think Ulis will be bagging groceries this time next year

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He wants Valentine to end up on Utah. Yes sir let it happen man

He said he likes him more than buddy since he's more versatile

Tbh I can't really disagree, I really like Valentine. Perfect role player

 

[woody2626]

In their second and final years Larkin shot 53% from the field and 40% from 3

Ulis shot 43% from the field and 34% from 3.

Larkin was perfect for Miami's offense and i still think he can be a good backup in a dribble drive style.

I'm in the category that thinks Felder will be a better pro because of a defined role.

FWIW Ulis pulled out of his workout with the Hornets today. may have a guarantee

 

[awwsome]

Valentine or Baldwin will be the steals.

 

[req81]

Dej Murray will be the steal of this draft. Jamal Crawfordesque. Once he puts on the weight dude will be an all star

Dude has Jacob Poeltl ranked ahead of Simmons, has him at the highest bust rate percentage and has Diallo as having a higher percentage of being even a starter.........

I'm not even gonna bother clicking that link.

It's a statistical projection model not personal conjectures.

Feel like Phoenix has to take Chriss at 4.

What the hell type of statistics put together that Simmons has only a 20% chance of even being a starter?

45% chance of being at least a starter. 20% chance of being just a starter. Russell rated similarly last year in terms of being a big boom or bust guy. His numbers may have been even worse if I remember correctly.

Going to be between Chriss and Bender. Will be interesting to see what they do...

 

[woody2626]

Marshall Plumlee top 20 on that list
