Stokes will get some rebounds--but he's likely to be a bench player with limited minutes, IMO, unless he can show that he can shoot the ball from, say, 14 feet in and score enough to justify more than second-team playing time.

Guess you haven't been paying attention the last week or so

Love is a white Moses Malone but with a 3 point shot. He is most certainly a Superstar. He's just stuck in Minnesota, where stars waste years of their primes. See, KG

Love's an excellent player, but I don't see the similarities with MM's game.

That is cool. I have the same measurements as Stokes... 6'7" barefoot. 7'1" wingspan. Maybe I need to get an agent.


Oh yeah I'm old and have busted knees....

Do you weigh 265 with 8% body fat and can run a 4.5 40 also? If so, get that agent anyway.

Stokes really is a freak athlete and in the right pro system he has a legit opportunity to flourish.

I think that's a fair assessment even though some will probably argue he's not athletic. Athleticism is more than jumping and explosiveness.

"He had a 31 and a 36 (standing and running verticle leap). Randle of Kentucky had a 29 and a 35.5 Stokes also surprised in the three quarter sprint 3.26 Randle 3.27 McRae came in at 3.39 Stokes was beating some of the point guards in this measurable."

How high does a 265lb man have to jump to be considered athletic and explosive?

LOL... Nope I got none of that! He is really a freak athletically speaking. I agree I think he can be a really good pro.

Now I do have a better shot than him. 42% from the three point line in college and 40% in HS career.

Does anyone else think stokes was wasted here now.

Averaged a double double and one of the most dominating big men in college? No I wouldn't consider him wasted.

I would've liked to of seen an athletic 6'11" guy on the roster so Stokes could've possibly played some 4, but he did what was best for the team which is admirable IMO.

I'm not saying he can't score. I'm just saying if I'm building a team it isn't going to be focused around him. He doesn't make his teammates better, is a turrible defender, and doesn't seem like much of a leader. Jmo

Jerry bringin' the realness. I agree completely.

The comparison is more his stat lines. 35/15 is a moses malone line. He had that streak two years or so ago where he did that, IIRC, 6 consecutive games.


One last bit, to anyone thinking he isn't a Superstar, he has the 3rd highest PER in the league this year, behind Lebron and Durant, and the 4th highest when you factor in playoffs. Yes, it's just another stat junky thing, but its one of the best they have now.


More on Jarnell, I still think, on the right team (San Antonio, I'm talking to you) he has the potential to be an 8/8 or so type of player, which is certainly enough to stay on a bench on any team.

Stokes can go out to about 15 feet and the way pros practice, would have a ton of time to perfect shots from a couple of spots where he would get the ball on the court. He's had the shot since he was in hs and a good touch.

He's an around the rim guy. If he can shoot from the outside he'll have to prove that.

So I just saw a little Stokes draft scouting snippet on the ESPN Xbox app (I think it was Chad Ford, but not sure). This guy said he needs to lose weight! I don't know if he has any weight to lose...

Anyone who knocks Kevin Love has an agenda and it's probably a racial one. He's a superstar and probably top 5 in the league right now.

Yes it's probably racist that I knock Love for being a terrible defender, injury proned, not being a leader, and not making his teammates better. I hate white people, myself included. Smh Or it could be that I look at his game objectively.

You're right, he isn't a good defender but he's ok. And that would be injury prone, not proned. But now it gets better. He leads but you cant turn chicken **** into chicken salad. You may want to wake up and take a look at his stats and remember the sorry team he plays for. He'll leave Minnesota for the same reason Garnett did....they suck sack. And he'll thrive where he lands at 25 years of age.
