You may rank them. I would like to hear how they did after Lsu though.

Stromile swift
I forgot his name
Big baby
Jordan Mickey ,Jarell or however it's spelled martin
Duop reath
Kbw, naz ried
Trendon Watford

I'm not ranking them, just brought names up, hoping to stir some talk up about them, for the hell of it.

I think watford is considered a big, I guess .didnt include Williams from this year.

I think stromile and big baby would be the best of the group .trendon could be as good or better then them if he stays 2 more years at least.

My main question is about Mickey and Martin. It seemed Martin was getting some opportunities a couple years ago, but now IDK who he even plays for. I haven't heard shite about Mickey though, was a treat shot blocker .

Just a discussion thread.

Is Jabari Smith "I forgot his name"?

Also, Jaime Lloreda played big despite being 6'9" or so.

Extremely uninformed post....

Johnny O’Bryant also existed.....

Martin was forced to become a stretch 4 and got lost in Orlando....

Mickey last I saw was in Euroleague, had a Shaqtin’ a Fool moment. Someone passed him the ball, it hit him in the head then went in the basket.

I didn’t Google but that’s what I remember seeing first hand of those 2.

Left out Jabari Smith and Tyrus Thomas. Tasmin Mitchell. Brandon Bass. Bass was a man playing with boys and had a long NBA career.

Smith was better than Bigby Williams.. love Bigby though.

Tyrus Thomas personally intimidated Duke right out of the paint in that game in Atlanta.

Even Chris Johnson.. really skinny 6 10 kid had a very good senior season.

Stromile Jabari Smith Brandon Bass, Tasmin, Tyrus Glen Davis. Naz and Bigby very good just not here long enough. different game now.. Probably all better than the current crop.

Martin, Mickey and Johnie O Bryant were good players. Jordan Mickey or Johnnie O Bryant makes the current team a sweet sixteen or final 8 contender.

Watford, if he stays, will be very good.. not really a big.. Emmitt Williams if he stays(he won’t). Darius Days is a good player as well.
