Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Good stuff, Junkie! No, real good stuff ! Ha-Ha. I worked at IMG academy doing player development for a few years and got to know DT a little so, not QUITE Junkie status. This is probably the first time in awhile we've spoken through e-mail. Actually, the e-mail started out as something other than this but I figured I'd ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 I e-mailed Thorpedo himself and this is what the man had to say with regard to Harkless and the Magic. In my e-mail I asked if the blogophere's Ariza comparisons we're accurate because I didn't exactly see Ariza in Hark's game. so there we go. I really like the Thorpedo. Solid analysis, always to the point, and a stand up guy as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mind emailing him about Nicholson & Vucevic too? Thanks for sharing the Harkless analysis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 I really like the Thorpedo. Solid analysis, always to the point, and a stand up guy as well. Agree. DT and his coaches taught me a lot of little things and he's a super genuine guy. Two things I like about his e-mail of Hark were the "slap in the face" comment. Looking at the players taken before him, that's interesting to me based on pre-draft analysis. The other thing was the James Posey comparison. Many of the younger, twitter age basketball fans will probably flip on that and only remember him from his Indiana/NOH days. Thinking back to when Posey was a prospect, he was highly regarded as a multi-dimensional player and was thought of as an impact guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Not sure if it was posted earlier, but now Rob Murphy is staying at EMU. When college head coaches spurn us, it tends to work out just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catman 380 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Love the Thorpe info. Only disagree that Harkless can not shoot well. I believe he can shoot, he just played PF last year and didnt get to develop that skill as well as he could. I think you will see a guy suck at shooting early and then get it going as the season progresses. Thorpe probably insinuated this and I misread but my main point is I am really excited about Harkless's potential. As for Evans, I think Hennigan offered what he wanted to offer and that is it. He is not going to deviate from the plan and give up too much for anybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emory889 353 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 When college head coaches spurn us, it tends to work out just fine. I was initially curious why a coach would leave a position to become a scout. It seemed like a step backwards to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
