“Tatum came in the next day and he was just laughing,” Stevens said. “‘The good news is that we can start pretty much anything,’ I said. I just can’t stop myself. As a result, we had a great time laughing about it.'” Stevens might shorten Tatum to 6-foot-8 before the ...
Stephen Curry NBA Draft Card Here’s the more interesting newsthough. Curry, like every player entering the NBA draft,was measured on a number of metricsincluding standing jump, wingspan, andheight. And even thoughhis scoring ability was clear, averaging +20.0 points per game his NCAA car...
