What does Tatum have to do with any of this?

Did you mean second greatest scorer of all time Bam Adebayo?

Risacher was already listed as 6’10” by the French national team a year ago

Wasn’t he not listed as 6’9 until the end of the season?

Its likely the wingspan is also growing similar to his height. Not only that but his raw athleticism is also growing if his body is still developing this much and he was already super athletic

if giannis had a consistent jumper he’d be a top 10 player in nba history

So you’re saying Durant has his name from all the twitter burners he has?

I mean, Ant growing to be 6’6 in his twenties was obviously bullshit. The guy who should be a freshman in college growing an inch isn’t exactly far fetched.

Video of a tall, defensive forward sizing up a assistant coach and splashing a three over him, captioned “tallguy noballskills worked on his bag this offseason”

I think standing reach is actually more important

they did for like one year then some teams started listing in-shoes again - you see dozens upon dozens of young players today listed as their height in shoes and not what they measured at the combine without shoes. Flagg was just one of them last year, listed at 6’9, that was his in shoes measurement not his combine no shoes measurement of 6’7.75

I should say He just kind of reminds me of Kukoc. All of these Forwards today can show off their offensive ability more and encouraged in the League, It’s great for these players to express themselves more

Pippen isn’t white /s

I picked Toni because He grew to 6’10 with all around offensive ability, but Pippen is probably the better comp

I should of say He kind of reminds me how versatile He was offensively as a Big forward, Probably not similar but can’t help myself, it’s cool to see the progression in the league and these forwards can show off a more diverse skill set and encouraged more to develop them

I guess I gotten into myself the rabbit hole of basketball “whiteness” comparisons and people wanting an argument lol.

Kirilenko is a good comp

Profile pic really enhanced this lmao

perfect profile pic 👌🏼

My man <3

He should be a PF instead of out on the wing. Dallas is doing him a disservice playing him at SF. He’d be an absolute nightmare at PF

I wish…

Not really. There’s a point around the seven foot mark for a lot of guys where the additional injury risk starts to outweigh the benefit from the additional height.

He entered the league at the same age as Lebron and isn’t too far off. Still, it’s a silly thought

Flagg is 181 games behind with 9 less games. I agree with the injuries unless he becomes like 260 lbs. He’s probably going to play 70 games a season for most of his career while LeBron played 76 games per season until he joined the Lakers. It’s so much harder to play all those games in this era too

I dont see them ever doing it. 82 games makes too much money for them, even if stars only play 60

There is a less than 0% chance they shorten the season and create LESS opportunity for revenue generation

Adam Silver has literally added more games to the season through the NBA Cup and Play-In. The NFL keeps expanding their season too. No shot the NBA zags from that trend
