According to sources: Thorne-Meck officially signed with Israeli club Hapoel Jerusalem.
Seeing this news, Xiao Liao, who was beside Di Ge, once again raised his head and closed his eyes in thought.
Regarding Thorne-Meck, he has feelings, and has written a long article analyzing the 6.3-foot black man, but finally retreated to the league.
Here we come to talk, Thorne-Meck.
At 2.13 meters tall and 2.21 meters with an arm span, Thorne Meck, who has the talent of top physical hardware, ran for the NBA in 2016.
In the end, the 10th pick in the first round was picked up by the Bucks, at which time the alphabet brother had already begun to show his fangs.
Coupled with the addition of Thorne Meck, such an inside line, followed by two or three years of training, if it is successful, the Bucks will not delay winning the championship until 2021.
The factor that did not go well was that in three years, the Bucks simply gave him up.
Why? It's not worth it.
In fact, looking back at the 2016 draft, you as a management member of that year will feel very uncomfortable.
Originally, Thorne Mack was predicting the position at the beginning of the last round of the first round, and in terms of physical hardware, height and arm span, etc. it was indeed very good, and also had good jump shooting ability and defensive potential.
But his biggest problem is the common problem with most players outside the United States, the physical confrontation ability, that is, there is a gap in strength.
But the Bucks, who saw the alphabet brother turn out to be out of the blue, suddenly had high expectations for such long-legged rookies, so that they would choose Thorne Mack with the 10th pick in the first round.
The ideal is full, the reality is cruel. In the Bucks' three years, Meck has made almost no progress at all, nor has there been any potential and room for improvement.
From averaging 4 points and 2 rebounds per game in his rookie season to 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in his third year, can you say that's an improvement?
In the 2018-2019 season, the Bucks sent him directly to Detroit, staying for a year and a half before going to Cleveland.
In the 2020-2021 season, he only played 8 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, and no team was interested in him after the offseason free market opened.
Maybe in the Israeli league, Thorne Mek's strength and skill may be able to dominate one side, if this can't be dominated, then find a class.....
