re: How does Wade conclude that guys just can’t play?

Number one he didn't get enough playing time for you to make that statement. It is a lot different when you are out there for the opening snap and not just playing in cleanup time.

Agreed. He should have been in over Gaines.

Number two, what you are talking about is his ability to check a guy bringing it up the court which he is very good at. What I am talking about is when the ball is across half court and you are in your set defense. Whether it is his own man shooting over him or having to switch to a much bigger guy, he is going to have a tough time stopping them.

Cam Thomas is tall. How many shots did he affect?

What we are disputing here is the “combine freaks” vs actual good ball players. Some guys have all the measurable but just don’t seem to put it all together. Other guys lack the physical attributes yet find a way to get it done.

In a football analogy, would you rather two star recruit Clyde Edwards Elaire, or 5 star John Emery?
