We really are in the era of people just saying stuff and acting like is inconvertible despite contrary facts. In podcasts and in here too (from a few usual suspects).

That’s what i mean. Standardly measured athleticism by NBA standards being explosive power, speed, quickness, vertical jump.
In my eyes Nash and Curry are incredibly athletic. But not by the standard measurement. Same with someone like SGA.

SGA is more sneaky athletic than unathletic. Every few games you think he's about to do one of his cutesy, slithery layup finishes and he'll dunk on somebody just to remind you he can. But all the other aspects of athleticism he is above average

Remember when Oregon's Luke Jackson tested the highest vert in his draft class, even higher than JR Smith and Andre Iguodala?
And Rafael Aruajjo tested one of the highest overall athletes in his draft despite being crap at everything else because he did the 225lb bench press a million times, but later was out the league both for sucking and for using PEDs

He is truly a selfless, cycloptic warrior.

How did Naz Reid go undrafted?? Didn’t watch him at LSU at all but he is one of the most skilled big men I’ve ever seen. Baffled how GM’s couldn’t see that.

that was the mistake i made looking at him in HS.
nah he's athletic. he just doesn't jump super high.
but super quick, super flexible, elite deceleration, incredible coordination, has that wire-y strength.

SGA is like the opposite of Obi Toppin.
Obi Topping jumps high, but sucks at every other athletic indicator.
poor agility, can't move laterally, terrible flexibility.
SGA has an average vert, but very good to elite at everything else.

Naz can give you 80% of what Kat can give but at a much better contract . I just dont know who they can move Kat for in the wing market

Naz Reid is exactly the type of player the Raptors needed
