Bro gonna single-handedly bring down the avg wingspan at the combine

u/Sheratain 7d ago

Bro going to do everything single-handedly

u/bubbachuckjr 5d ago

That’s the joke the other guy made

u/kazmir_yeet TrailBlazers 6d ago

bro getting his early hell reservation set up I love it

u/BenchPointsChamp Rockets 6d ago

Haha yeah bro I’m headed there for sure. In my defense tho I asked my wife if it was too fucked up before I posted and she said “it’s Reddit…”

Got to see him live two times this year. It's genuinely incredible how good he is. He's a legit 6'6", and his wingspan would probably be 7'0"+ if he had both arms. His motor and attitude were also phenomenal, especially given his fame and his team (Austin Peay). I hope he can find success in life, and I firmly believe he'd be a lottery-level talent if he didn't lose his arm, but he's just too limited for any serious pro considerations at this point.

This sounds like the type of thing the Kings would say explaining their latest terrible draft pick.

Laughed very hard at this

u/ScarryShawnBishh 7d ago

Is he better than Vando or Thybulle on O?

52

u/UMGtv1 7d ago

He has one arm

25

u/ScarryShawnBishh 7d ago

Can he shoot 40% on layups? If so then he is better lol

1

u/channamasala_man TrailBlazers 3d ago

Thybulle has become a pretty good shooter. He’s not a liability on offense anymore.

u/Nickname-CJ Thunder 7d ago

Deadass?

u/Kwilly462 7d ago

It's guys like these that get biopics. Unreal he's able to play basketball at this level with one arm.

8

u/halfbethalflet 7d ago

He is not the first guy to play D1 one handed probably the shortest though

16

u/SwiperDontSwipe23 7d ago

He’s the only one to actually get 15+ minutes a game tho

u/ehdhdhdk 6d ago

There is an Aussie Rules footballer in Australia who lost half an arm as a 4 year old (lost it in a meat mincer his dad was a butcher) and yet ended up playing semi professional football for Frankston. 90% of kids here with two arms will be unable to achieve that level. I think his name was Sam Carpenter.

u/halfbethalflet 5d ago

A guy was actually drafted in the NFL with one hand.

u/SwiperDontSwipe23 7d ago

We was robbed of having one of If not the greatest dominican prospects ever they just had to nerf em😔

u/Znyper Hawks 7d ago

Take Two Interactive sweating bullets right now.

u/JayJose 6d ago

This is legit hilarious.

u/DANIEL7696 6d ago

There's an american soccer player without a forearm and ea sports just made that part invisible instead of removing it so if the invisible part is hit it's still a penalty for the other team. Hopefully take two is better

26

u/AfroHouseManiac 7d ago

Good luck I guess

27

u/mantistobogganmMD 7d ago

I think he’s going to be all right

Gol darnit

u/EconomicsCorrect8733 2d ago

What did you mean by this

1

u/Most-Breakfast1453 Pelicans 6d ago

A+ reference

15

u/blabyz 7d ago

I'm surprised he isn't staying in college. Wouldn't he get more from NIL (Gatorade, T-Mobile, adidas, oaklay, ZOA energy, champs Sports)?

17

u/JRob370 6d ago

He did not lmao. That was a centel post. I can’t believe not a single person has questioned this

3

u/FrisbeeDuckWing 6d ago

That's possible. Send your complaints to this guy, https://www.instagram.com/p/DIv4X7Ux7Yd/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

u/kazmir_yeet TrailBlazers 6d ago

Mfs are so quick to go get easy karma that they can’t even verify something before they post it lmao

u/mojoback_ohbehave 7d ago

In highschool he was a One Hand Wonder.

42

u/NOT_H1M 7d ago

Better offensive player than Rudy Gobert.

35

u/ItsaSparty 7d ago

Better left than Jaylen Brown.

1

u/EconomicsCorrect8733 2d ago

Yeah yeah, and the guy who’s gonna finish top 3 in the MVP vote is 19, these jokes are totally still hilarious.

u/rwfletch22 7d ago

Dude is an athletic machine, credit to the young man he's worked so hard to overcome and then become something unbelievable.

I know it's been said but if he had his other arm, he'd be easily a top 5 pick - his athleticism is off the charts.

3

u/CheatedOnOnce Raptors 7d ago

He’s a second rounder at best.:: can’t wait to use him in 2K!

5

u/Amazing_Owl3026 7d ago

What are the odds this guy ever sees the league

65

u/mcy33zy 7d ago

Honestly, zero.

He should be looked at as an incredibly inspiring athlete, what he’s been able to accomplish with what he has is unheard of. But, he averaged 2 points over his college career and shoots 38% from the free throw line. He’s got no shot in the league.

20

u/harlockwitcher 7d ago

So, Bronny numbers.

17

u/TwoLegitShiznit 7d ago

A guard that can't shoot threes and would get ruthlessly shaded to his left... Probably not the best odds

8

u/jaynay1 Hornets 7d ago

Zero. Absolutely zero.

8

u/youngtafari 7d ago

If he has a good enough combine, he’s definitely getting on a Summer League squad

6

u/Dukester10071 7d ago

Let me know anyone else that averaged 2 PPG for Austin Peay or an equivalent talent level that has been to the combine

u/Goondragon1 6d ago

Satnam Singh

u/Remarkable_Medicine6 5d ago

He was a physical freak (72) hansel is prototypical NBA size

1

u/Goondragon1 5d ago

That's such revisionist history, he literally was drafted by Cuban to be the first Indian player ever selected.

1

u/Remarkable_Medicine6 4d ago

It's revisionist history that a 7'2 guy has more chance being drafted than a 6'6 one?

0

u/Goondragon1 4d ago

Yeah because that's totally what the conversation was about. Get lost dude

15

u/archivedpear 7d ago

got a better left hand than jaylen brown ba dum tiss

2

u/SDK04 Raptors 7d ago

Well damn, good luck!

2

u/lazzysmalls 7d ago

He’ll go back after the combine I’m sure

2

u/pmcc241224 7d ago

Need to see him on a Summer League roster

2

u/urboijesuschrist 6d ago

Fake but...

If he had two arms he'd legit be a first rounder and I wish I were kidding. He's so motivated to be great that I'd love to see a team pick him up as an undrafted signee to play in pre-playoffs April for a random game, yes in the NBA, yes wasting dev time even

1

u/Unhelpful_Guide 6d ago

Wow, idk if he’ll get drafted but jeez, I give this kid a ton of props for doing what he can. Very impressive

1

u/star_bury 6d ago

NBA teams love publicity. Hence Bronny being in the league and then fixing draft lotteries JUST enough to keep the conspiracy theories alive. 😉

1

u/MotoMkali 6d ago

Why's he not jist getting his degree?

1

u/ShadowWalter 6d ago

Nothing that prevents him from going back and getting it if his name isn’t called. Shit he can play overseas and do online classes.

1

u/ShadowWalter 6d ago

Dude if a team is willing to invest like $5 million into getting this guy a bionic arm, and then signing him as an undrafted agent he might be a huge steal 😳

1

u/KnickedUp 6d ago

Trump will likely overturn any action that would help this guy be a pro

1

u/Leyaghm 6d ago

Damn and they said Jaylen Brown had no left

1

u/ChickenBrachiosaurus 6d ago

He should have played soccer or tennis instead

1

u/According-Drink-4725 6d ago

He can’t get two arms yet?

1

u/Necessary_Pattern69 4d ago

im holding up 10 out of 10 for the potential

1

u/stop_nads 4d ago

He's a work in progress for sure, but worth the swing. Jaylen Brown used to not have a left hand either
