I want (to) Singh!

[The One]

Pounding the table for my guy Satnam.  He is raw but he is HUGE and only 19 years old.  Given some time he could be a very nice role player.

Here are a couple of links.

And a pic of my man (he dwarfs even A. Sherrod!):

[cons]

the cbs article says he didnt receive any D1 scholarship offers . so then he decided to declare for the draft?

doesn't make sense to me

[The One]

Too raw for D1?

Coaches didn't want to wait for him to develop?

Not sure, but I'm projecting progress.  And you can't teach size!

what I'm reading, this guy is a fringe 2nd rounder. What is his injury history? if there is none, I'd take this guy with one of our 2nd rounders and try to develop him

ask many have said, you cannot teach size. 7'2 @ almost 300 lbs

Have you seen the videos?

It looks painful for him to move.  Just watching is kind of painful.

Doesn't look painful to me. Not fast, but not painful, either.

Maybe they figured he was headed to the NBA in a year anyway, for stashing--but was too raw to use and disrupt their team with for just one year.

I remember reading this article about him a couple of years back. Even if he doesnīt make it, boy has he come a long way.

couple years back? and he's only 19? seems like this kid could be low risk very HIGH reward then. He's very young, that's like what a freshmen/sophomore in college?

Take lessons, if you want to Singh.

Lack of competition, where he played.  Ainge is not exactly a fan of picking guys who did not ball in America.

That article was written in 2010 when was just 14. It was written by an indian-american guy, I guess he was just interested in this huge kid playing basketball from a country where they donīt really play basketball at all.

Ha Ha Ha!  That made smile!

He couldn't get a scholarship due to the problems regarding the academic part. The guy is pretty horrible at talking English so it's understandable that he couldn't get one.

The real question is will he be able to cover the spread in those summer league games
Bookies in Vegas will love him.
