2.7% body fat is wild by the way lol
Thanks everybody! I wanted to move my incessant Salaun convo to this thread. Since I wonāt shut the fuck up about it. A couple things stood out from this (as always) astute HP discussion:
-I want Salaun to dial in corner threes.
-The standing reach numbers were really eye opening. Because I donāt see Salaun as a freak athlete. He just had a good motor, but the crazy measurables make it a little different. Iām with the program now.
-I also agree with the concerns with how they were asking him to play last year. It wasnāt helping. Im hoping a healthy roster and real rotation will help solidify what Coach Lee is asking. I do not want him to be a miles bridges clone.
-Lastly I agree with salaunās success being more of a PF and small ball center than this Bridges/small forward kind of look.
-Iāve watched Salaunās three point shot mechanics and I canāt pick out much that I hate. Heās not afraid to pull up deep, but I wonder if higher quality three would help.

Thereās a Boone article up about Salaun on CO. Lotās of optimism based on his summer work ethic. Iām excited to see if it translates.
The young man needs to attack the basket and continue moving his feet on defense. He has incredible tools.
Mr. Eastley thanks for the video!
I was hoping that she would get selected! Bonus, her success gives me a legitimate reason to dig up this Tidjane threadā¦.yaaay:
Iāve seen her play and sheās as tough as nails!
Fellas, is the current Hornets org starting to look like draft day geniuses after last night? (Minus injury stuff)
Our guy might be a fast learner with good work ethic.
Spectre, the translation was looking pretty nice last night.

Tidjane has been incredible this season. His decision making alone has matured like a decade in 8 months.
We saw a few moments that piqued my interest early in the season. He definitely earned my approval, but then he fell off and looked like last year. He went to Greensboro and seemed to light up the GLeague once he settled in, and had some sick highlights. And then came back to Charlotte and has had a few very good stretch of competent games. Good play.
Iād disagree with heās looked incredible, but the moments he had looked good-he looked quite good. I will continue to say that Salaun will never be a starter level player, but I think heās a high level bench spark plug that comes in and plays like a bat out of hell.
In a bad draft class, if Salaun can be a high level bench player that plays intensity like his hair on fire, I will take it. The high intensity bench guy that the other team doesnāt want to see.
Incredible with context. It was the exact leap we needed to see from Tidjane and he has delivered. That was where my incredible comment came from.
Man I want to see him be good so badly. And yeah, I totally agree with you.
If he were on another team nobody would be clamoring to trade for him.
