Funny how people will dismiss an eyeball measuring effort from guys our size,

as though we can't easily tell 6'5" from 6'7". I'm 6'6" (just over 6'7" in my younger years; sigh) and if you claim to be one to five inches taller than me, I'll know in a heartbeat if you're exaggerating. Now, if you're over 7' or under 6', then I really can't dial it in reliably.

Do any current players have NBA potential?

I think Selijaas has a slim chance. He has good size. He needs to become an

What?! Seljaas has zero NBA potential

covfefe

He has size and he can shoot. Anyone with size that can shoot has NBA potential.

He doesn’t move nearly well enough. I’ll sew my bottom lip to the floor if he plays in the NBA.

The Dude Abides

12/15/17 8:02pm

I'm not saying he will. I'm basing potential purely on measurables and skills

Hypnotoad

12/15/17 8:07pm

You need to include a few things to your list of skills and measurables...

I don’t think he has that much size

Dillinger

12/15/17 8:04pm

He's listed at 6'7''. I don't know what his wingspan is.

Hypnotoad

12/15/17 8:05pm

I’m guessing he’s closer to JJ reddick size than Joe Ingles size.

Dillinger

12/15/17 8:08pm

You might be right. It's tough to know without a point of reference.

Hypnotoad

12/15/17 8:10pm

Really? He looks legitimately tall & long to me.

I need to apologize. My comments stemmed from similar observations I've made on

Oh, it wasn't harsh, regardless. Thanx, man.

6'8, long-armed 3pt shooter who's all around skill set ain't shabby

mantis mutu

12/15/17 8:12pm

What’s his all around skill set exactly?

Dillinger

Not shabby

Nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills . . .

Ball handling. Someone who can take it in the paint a bit.

Joe Ingles would have been so so good if he played college ball.

Dillinger

12/15/17 8:03pm

He would have played for St. Mary's and terrorized us

SingleStrapBackpack

12/15/17 9:03pm

He probably would have been an all american.

Dillinger

12/15/17 9:06pm

No, and that doesn't take anything away

12/15/17 8:38pm

Possibly Childs. None on any draft boards.

thebruce

12/15/17 8:41pm

Childs is the only one with any chance, and his chances are not great.

JuicyJam

12/15/17 9:25pm

Childs, with significant improvement = 5% chance. Everybody else = 0% chance.

Game Changer

12/15/17 9:40pm

Huh? Joe Ingles plays intense D. Often guards the best player.

SlantRoute

12/15/17 10:29pm

No.

If you have to ask, the answer is no. NBA talent is obvious at this level.
