Might be one of the most profound manic depressive studies in the history of science...You've been here 11 years. You should know the bipolar nature of RCF.
The 180* turn on this board, from just last week, is pretty impressive...
Well, since I can't change my take now, I'll just say again that he can't shoot...
Maybe I'll throw in the word "consistently" to mitigate my feelings of jackassery.
you just add the word consistently to a someone who is up to 42% at 3p shooting while being a rookie. Rookie expectations in this forum are well overblown...Windler after going 4 for 4 is up to 48%/42% on2's and 3's.
Making a bunch in a row helps, lol
I actually like Windlers approach to the game and the way he crashes the glass.
He just needs to speed up his release so he can get it off cleanly in this ISO/PnR shit that we are running. If he were in a functioning offensive system with a role and ball movement that sought out shooters, I'd bet he'd look much better right now
His jumper is so pure, he wont take it
Starting to wonder if they are practicing with helmets and shoulder pads on. For weeks they've been passing on open 3's to get to the rim at all cost
I'd rather start Windler and Okoro at 2/3
REALLY impressed with Windler's IQ. He doesnt get those rebounds accidentally. If he can just slow himself down on offense when he has the ball...
I know he's 24 already but he has ideal length and great floor awareness/crashes the boards well.
Last player who I remember playing bigger and longer than his measurements like Windler does is THIS Santa Claus from Lubbock Texas
When we converted him to the backcourt next to Price, maybe it was because Price was 6'0 with alligator arms, but Eggs looked and played like he was a white Stacey Augmon (6'8 with a 7 footers reach) out there. I dont know how Eggs reach measurements but he played much taller and longer than 6'6. He was taller and longer than most 2 guards he matched up against (most back then were 6'3/6'4 like Joe Dumars, Sidney Moncrief, Hornacek, Byron Scott and the outlier was the 6'6 GOAT).
Really I just wanted an excuse to post this clip. This is my childhood in these highlights man. I remember vividly pretty much every one of these top 10 plays. We had season tickets and we rarely missed a game so I'll bet I was in person for half of them, and the #1 play with the Joe Tait call that sent Utah to the showers, I will never forget.
Great times.
If Windler will commit to working on his ball handling this summer, he's such a smart player that I can see him being the perfect 4th or 5th starter with his length, his knack for hitting the boards as a perimeter player and his feel for spacing the floor.
Great talent evaluation by Koby
Only after he gets released for throwing soup up at practice like LBJs old chaulk toss, soaking the coaching staff in butternut squash soup. He hen signs with the Lakers.Feasible that he goes the rest of his career without missing.
I was at that last game with Ehlo's give and go. Place went nuts. We had some really great playoff intensity games against Utah back then.
Lenny was a master at the scripted out of bounds play.

Also by old NBA standards it looks like hd would be listed at 6'8" (measured 6'7.5" in shoes). I feel like we need a sticky on the front page saying that the Cavs are actually adhering to the new standard of listing height barefoot to nearest inch.
The game Ehlo won in Utah — his shot was after the buzzer but the refs let it go. It wasn’t close.
That was a road game in Utah which is why it was so surprising. That would never have happened in MSG - the Knicks clock operator back in the day was notorious for starting the clock early or late at the death to help the Knicks. Joe Tait rated that guy #1 at that piece of home cooking.
They didnt have the red light on the basket at the time (think that came after Reggie in the playoffs early 2000's) so a little home cooking from the scorers table on the horn I'm sure made it possible.
Jeff Malone on Utah turns around incredulous like "No way he got that shot off"
I still wager that half of CP3's assists in New Orleans were the result of home cooking.That was a road game in Utah which is why it was so surprising.

I dont know where, but I thought I saw something saying he was only 6'6? 6'8 looks more like it
