....and a SF who is a dominant defender and solid rebounder....... who can also fly to the rim and throw it down like KD was supposed to do on that last play.
haha.. making fun of Hantlers. He's calling everyone an idiot and it's an 'experiment.'
I'm always happy.
I'll be careful that we have a poster named idiot, why?
I srsly laughed.

About Kabongo from Fran Frashilla & Chad Ford at draft combine.....
FRASCHILLA: With Myck, I’ve watched and seen Myck since he was 16, coached him at Nike camps. You know, Myck’s greatest strength is that he has great end to end quickness. He’s a developmental guy. You’re going to have to teach him how to run a team, quite frankly, and he doesn’t shoot the ball well.
So, yes, there is athleticism there. There is a maturity evolved in Myck’s game. This year didn’t help him much, obviously. But if you’re drafting Myck Kabongo, and I know some people think even at the end of the first round, I think you’re taking a developmental point guard and you’re going to roll the dice with them. I think there are safer point guards to take in this draft, but there are a number of people with terrific quickness and end to end athleticism.Then on Kabongo, I agree with everything that Fran said. I think it’s an unfortunate situation for him. You understand why he left Texas after everything that happened with the NCAA this year. He picked a bad year to do it, given that he didn’t have enough games to prove to NBA scouts that he was better than the freshmen.
Chad Ford: As Fran said, there is this huge scrum of point guards, some of them veterans, all sorts of different things that bring things to the table. D I athleticism, there is Pierre Jackson, and he’s much more proven than Kabongo is in the same conference.
You start to wonder where does he fit into this whole process now? People really liked him out of high school. Really didn’t like him much after his first year at Texas, and then this whole year was just a wash for him. I think he’s in danger of flipping to the second round, and unfortunately for him, teams seem to be less committed in the second round to really throwing all of their resources behind the developments they do in the first round. So he’s in a dangerous position. He could end up being a good NBA player, but the developmental curve there is still pretty high.
I don't know much about Kabongo, since he only played a handful of games and didn't look good doing it. He's a mystery to me.
BTW, I can't see OKC drafting a guard in this draft. They need an inside player in the worst way.

I usually hate everything anybody says that's a 'national' guy ... but I agree with all of that.
I still think Archie Goodwin is likely to be the most offensively and defensively gifted player on the board where we're drafting, but I won't beat that dead horse .
Agreed on the crabby mood thing.
