this dunk made me jump out of my seat.

Smart is a great dunker, but not the best on OSU's roster

Markel Brown has insane athleticism.

Great article

[Cowboy Thunder]

Had a rough scoring game against Baylor last time out.. shooting 4/21, but ended up with a great game regardless: 8 boards, 7 asst, 4 steals, 14 pts.

Next up: Smart vs Texas in minutes

Lol god no

Won't even scratch wade's career

Marcus Smart today:


23 pts, 7 rebs, 5 steals


(MVP of the Big 12 as a Freshman). No one has wrecked the league like this as a freshman since Durant.

Pokes win

He's my favorite player in the draft. I called the DWade comparison when I saw him in high school and I'm not backing down.

Not saying he will be the next DWade like OP is saying, but he plays very similarly and there's no doubt in my mind he will be a very good pro. How good? Who knows. One team is going to get a major building piece for their future.

Rodney Purvis reminds me more of Wade they play the same exact way even move the same way, but Smart will probably be better

Blake Griffin never had the impact in the Big 12 that he has had in the NBA.

Very different leagues...

[Cowboy Thunder]

Here's a Player A vs. Player B comparison. Stats are from the freshman year of both players:
Player A: 14.2 pts; 5.9 reb; 4.7 ast; 0.8 blk; 3.0 stl; 40.2 FG%; 27.7 3PT%; 77.1 FT%
Player B: 14.9 pts; 4.5 reb; 4.7 ast; 0.4 blk; 1.2 stl; 47.7 FG%; 33.7 3PT%; 71.2 FT%

Player A is Marcus Smart. Player B is Derrick Rose from 2007-2008, the #1 pick of the draft after his freshman year. By the way, Smart is listed at 6'4'' and 225 lbs. Rose is listed at 6'3'' and 205 lbs. Of course Rose has world-class athleticism and shot slightly higher percentages than Smart.

rose came on hella strong as the season went on though, by march, he was a lot better than his averages indicated.

HGH is going to be tested in the NBA starting next season. There is no next Dwyane Wade
