Oh boy I am gonna have to cook you up some fried chicken at Dudy Noble one of these days. Anybody ever bring in a deep fryer to a baseball game or do I gotta cook the fowl at the house first and totes it in a warmer??

Don't watch the NBA anymore for many reasons, but how tall is the avg NBA point guard ( someone here said the shooting guards are now 6'6"). I know there are exceptions with great skills, but height wise this could cause issues for Peters and the Weatherspoons' NBA chances. I would be more interested in the NBA if we had some players there.

I'm sure that's a little disappointing, but that's really not a bad deal at all. His game is probably a pretty good fit in Europe, but I doubt he's going to be a superstar in any of the high paying leagues. Might as well start getting paid sooner rather than later. Go make low sixfigures with a lot of perks and hope he can scratch out a ten year career and get seven figures in the bank before has to do something else .

I agree. He's only got so many years of basketball left. He may as well start making money now.

Just over 6'2 for PG's, 6'5 is avg SG height.

While the talk of the league is focused on small-ball, larger point guards are popular right now. But large is a relative term. The average height was 6-2.2, and judging from the graph below, 6-4 and above could be considered large while there are a handful of guys who have the size to guard small forwards.

For most of my basketball life, I’ve assumed 6-6 was the prototypical shooting guard height, but the average is almost exactly 6-5.

You still have good to great players that aren't that tall. Isiah Thomas is only like 5"10" and before his hip injury, he was one of the best players in the NBA. Short players need that quickness and burst speed like Peters has. Malik just doesn't have that type of athleticism.

It's so crazy to me that one rule is the difference between Malik being a millionaire and him having to try and make a living in Europe. The one-and-done bit him badly

I doubt it.

Don't confuse recruiting networks with NBA scouts. If he were actually eligible, NBA would've shredded him to pieces in their evaluations. With him not being eligible, they didn't focus on him
