How many white American small forwards make it in the NBA? How many are in there now? Chandler Parsons, that's one. Anyone else of significance?

The White collegiate scorer in the 6'6-6'8 range is without a doubt the most overrated basketball player type in the last 20 years. How many make it? Very few, yet every year we get more and more of them hyped at the draft.

I'd love to see a list of White American forwards in the 6'6-6'8 range that have done well in the NBA since 2000. I bet its a very short list.

Took a moment to realize Snell wasn't his shadow.

I'm working on a screenplay about Doug McDermott and Tyrus Thomas hitchhiking around the country and solving mysteries. It's tentatively called Pax Your Bags.

2 of those aren't Americans. Of the other 3 you could say only 1 lived up to or exceeded his draft position.


The white American college superstar 6'6-6'8 scorer who went on to have a productive NBA career is the rarest species in the NBA. If I was a GM, as a rule, I would never even consider drafting one. Just don't say that in an email like Danny Ferry.
