As an older sibling, watching a parent chill out by the time the baby was the last one home is a mood and part of the reason I like Lonzo so much

Katana_Warrior posted:he took him out of high school to make him play professionally in the lithuania league as a 17 year old He came into the NBA as one of the most talented passers alive. He went from being considered a non threat at the rim at 18 to being a wobbledy wiggle bucket man at 19. He went from suspect shot with weird form at 18 to good nba shooter at 19. Whatever is happening in his life seems to have been great for him. Even if you want to give his NBL team credit for exposing him to real basketball to put things together for him, his dad's plan gave him incredible court vision. Lavar was right. He succeeded. Their mom seems to have been a good counterbalance to all the Lavar BS

None of them at this point seem to suffer from Marinovich Syndrome so they must have been able to lead a normal enough life. I mean Liangelo technically incited an international incident when he visited China but aside from some poor decision making that any 19 year old might have it wasn’t really his fault

Katana_Warrior posted:he took him out of high school to make him play professionally in the lithuania league as a 17 year old well he is a professional basketball player so this seems like it was probably more helpful than maintaining his eligibility so he could spend a year at ucla trying to make mick cronin's offense look less like a clogged toilet Cavauro posted:it's not his fault that china was not cool about it. They were not chill yeah the shoplifting was his fault and is bad but not really that big of a deal, it's not his fault that his relatively minor and common offense became a huge international incident and front page news just because he happened to do it in a country we are in a perpetual economic pissing match with.

The literal only reason he couldn't leave school and go do what his eventual career would be is because the chosen career industry puts arbitrary restrictions on entry.

when I picture an "extremely chill" dad, i think of one who lets you and your friends drink in the basement. I hope a team drafts Mitchell in the lottery trying to go for a cam Johnson style pick without remembering that stretch wings are way better than a Rich Mans Jevon Carter

I saw a video of that guy dunking, and I gotta say. Dunks go from looking cool to looking grotesque once your limb length passes a certain threshold. irregular bending and all that.

yeah it’s extremely silly; almost everyone who’s committed to s&c ends up gaining a ton of muscle because it’s their full time job and they get paid a lot to do it and the team pays a lot of money to make sure that you have a proper diet and workout regimen etc etc i think it’s just something to say. “he needs to put on a lot of weight before he can handle the nba!” yeah man, so did giannis and kd and it turns out that is a fairly simple problem to fix, unlike bad decision making or lovely free throw shooting

It seems pretty clear that euro prospects don't get on PEDs as early as American prospects. Just give him a little bit of time, that's all.

Sam Vecenie, Athletic draft guy posted:I don’t think there has been a more improved player across the country this season than Mitchell (...) Baylor’s staff has been universally complimentary of Mitchell for the entire time he’s been there, noting how elite his work ethic is. He just doesn’t stop working to get better. (...) He’s on his way to winning the national Defensive Player of the Year award, a genuinely elite point-of-attack disruptor who will make an impact as a defender in the NBA from Day 1. He has him at #11 but #6 doesn't sound too bad for a guy who can maybe play NBA defense on day one and who'll take full advantage of a real NBA team's training program
