OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread


I read some combine results. I'm disappointed for Theo. His measurements weren't great. 6'5" without shoes, not exceptionally large hands, higher than most body fat %, not an impressive standing reach. It's too bad. I think Theo needed to wow some GMs at the combine to get drafted. I'm not saying he can't get picked up from free agency but I think his measurements will prevent him from being drafted.
 
How is it that the best pg in the nation and consensus first team gare bear all american isnt even considered one of the top 64
Draft eligible players?

Joel Berry can be the best college pg in the country and not be seen as a top 64 draft prospect. They don't have to go together. I know you're just taking a shot at gare bear but in case you were serious...

To piggyback off of this, the draft values youth over a lot of other things, so someone like Joel that has played 4 years of college ball, well, that's 3 years he won't be able to give to a pro career (at least in theory). So that will be an automatic knock.

With that said, I hope he and Theo are both able to find success in the league. You never know how these things will turn out, Hansbrough was a lottery pick and Danny Green went second round in the same draft, and all of us would say Green has had the better pro career. It's all a crap shoot.

0 chance that body fat percentage is correct. And if it is then Theo must be shredded under that shirt. Anything in single digits is approaching body builder status
 
I don't know. I was around 7% at one point in my life. Granted, I was on a pretty hardcore supplement called Anavol and working out hard four or five days a week. I was cut and stuff but not near what a bodybuilder looks like. Heck, I am only at around 15 right now and don't do anything but abs a couple of times a week.

His measurables aren't all bad though. That wingspan is really good.

90% of the combine participants were under 10%. I was at 12-14% in college.

I would bet quite a lot of money that you have never been below 8% and are higher than you think you are now. People always underestimate body fat percentages and there’s isn’t a 100% accurate way to measure it even today.

Edit: I probably sounded like a dick there which I didn’t intend. People in general always underestimate their BF%. I’m sure you look great, but I train every day and have fully visible abs and I would guess I’m somewhere around 15%. With my diet dialed in for a few months I can cut down to around 10-12% but beyond that it’s just not fun or worth it

They likely used calipers like people have been using in gyms for the past 20-30 years. They aren’t accurate.

More reference for this. If you search DEXA scan results examples on YouTube you can find tons of examples of people breaking this down. Anything under 10% is insane. And anything under 6-7% is probably unhealthy and unsustainable.

I mean, I don't look great, lol. I'm losing my hair and am only average looking. I have abs and all that but nothing like a body builder. I know when I was measured it was with those electric things and with calipers both. Not sure why they did both. It was a thing they did at our gym. Maybe they geared it to make us feel good. I don't care though. Didn't really care then tbh. Whatever I was at the time I had very little fat and looked good then. The % doesn't matter at all to me. This may be the first time I've even mentioned it. I'm just skinny and not in shape now, lol. All I really care about is how it impacts my golf swing and it doesn't so screw it.

On that note, I came as close as I have in a long time to a hole in one today. Had a 9-iron land about 3 feet in front of the hole and ended up an inch behind it so had to have rolled right over the lip. Brutal.

Follow-up re: Anna Kendrick
Well of course I would. You always hit a B, maybe even C-List celebrity given the chance. I’m just saying I have better looking women than her in my office.

Pics of chicks in your office. We have rules here!

Tough call. On the one hand, I don't want @Raising Heel to be fired. But on the other hand, I want to see attractive women, especially if the woman is better looking than Anna Kendrick, as the defendant so claims.

All he does is take vacations, so why the hell does it matter if he gets fired or not? Bring on the assets.
It just so happens that @UNC71-00 met one of my female coworkers this past weekend in Chapel Hill. I'd like for him to weigh in again on this discussion. 71, your thoughts?

The chick was smoking hot. So is Anna Kendrick. But they are in the same league.
 
Some of those guys are starting to look a little old.
Indeed...

Who is that next to Harrison Barnes and to the left of Kendall Marshall, in a squat position? Is it Dexter Strickland?

I think I see John Henson, Marvin Williams, Deon Thompson, and Zeller.
 
I thought the current team did pretty well considering how strong the white team was.
 
Lets talk about 7th. I think he will be serviceable enough and wont lose us any games.

Discuss.

I hope you are right. Not sure I feel the same way but hope you are right. I guess I agree he may be serviceable enough. I'm just not sure he will be very effective.

I think he will be effective enough but don't expect him to score much with any regularity. I will be happy if he just doesn't lose us any games. I'm thinking he ends up an almost Derek Phelps kind of player by the 2nd Duke game.
