Around SBN: Fedor vs Rogers Results and Live Coverage

His physique and athleticism are mind boggling. There are precious few humans who can get that much body that high in the air. His jump shot, on the other hand, was incredibly ineffective today. In a one-on-zero drill, there are plenty of 40 something schlubs playing pick up ball at the local gym who would make more shots. And it's not just that the ball wasn't going into the hoop. He's got a hitch in his free throw stroke, he shoots his jumper on the way down, and he tends to jump backwards. All of this can be fixed - but the fact is that it's a little broken right now.

But I want to point out that this guy averaged almost 23 points per game at Oklahoma last season, shooting 65% from the field. He shoots how he shoots currently and he's shot a lot better than he did today in plenty of workouts. Regardless, he was a dominant force on offense in college. So let's be clear - he's going to be a great pro even if he doesn't get a jump shot. If he DOES get a jump shot, he's going to be unstoppable. And he seems pretty determined to work hard and improve.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Sounds on the mark to me

Some things to fix, but if he does – watch out!
