Would it surprise anyone if dude was suspended for being on enhancement? He just seems to be on something for how big he is

He’s always been that big even in college. He would have failed a test by now lol.

Seems being that big would hurt his shooting BUT he's shot 43.2% & 43.6% from 3 his first two years and half his shots are 3-pointers. Plus, he's right at 90% on free throws. Very solid on D & I'm guessin' the added size helps in that area.
If you gave me my choice of adding anybody on Memphis to the Pels, it would be Bane and it wouldn't be close.

He also has a negative wingspan. It’s part of why he fell as far as he did. He and JJ Redick are really one of the only two players in the last several decades to find sustained success as guards with negative wingspans.

But the one upside to short stubby arms with a big frame, like Bane has, is they can pack on muscle a lot easier than gangly players like BI/AD/Chet.

Bane would be amazing on this team, but no way in hell would I choose him over Ja.

Very few people would. But the guy is what I call a "stone cold winner"...Ja is just another extremely talented guy you can see on SportsCenter highlights. Just depends on whether you're trying to win or want to be extremely entertaining. About impossible to be both nowadays.

Nah he just works hard and he has good genetics for muscle building (short arms)

Not everything is a conspiracy

He’s just a stoutly built guy that’s obvious just looking at him.

I thought nobody cared about him until he put on the mask? Let alone arms

I choose him over Ja. I feel like he would fit this team more. He just wasn’t healthy this series with back pain. Plus I don’t want the distraction of Ja. Guy is too much into social media. He threatened a fan yesterday on Twitter

Bane is one of those guys you look at and just say “how did this guy go where he did?” I had him between 9 and 12 on my big board last year. I had Kira ahead of him admittedly, but Bane was clearly a player.

Agreed. And instead of taking him with our 2nd first, we basically traded that first, a bunch of 2nds, and some role players for Steven Adams lol. That year’s draft was maddening.

Yep...time for the Pels to be a serious contender for the cheese. And if you're trying to do that...with the current Pels' squad, I'd take a Bane over a Ja and it's not close.

Of course, I fully understand I would be in a very small group that would prefer Bane. But, that's OK...I've been in the small group before.

Ja averaged 27 7 and 6.

He could run the point.

Ja
Cj
Herb
Bi
Zion

Play small ball. Everyone 1-5 can take it to the bucket.

I'd have to go Morant as well. But JJJ would be pretty deadly with our team. He has become an elite defender and has crazy range. Streaky as hell and super fragile. But he is really starting to emerge LINK

How do they even determine if you have a negative wingspan?

I can see bane having one but redick is surprising.
