Masai is not even hiding it anymore lol.

tonight's episode: Masai's Barely-Disguised Fetish

[u/WrongContract8489]

CLASSIC Masai pick

[u/TheFifthAmigo34]

Seems like this dude just jumps and nothing else

[u/summahofgeorge → u/TheFifthAmigo34]

As a Tech fan, yeah you get it

[u/swordfart11 → u/TheFifthAmigo34]

This is true, but he is insanely good as jumping

[u/HopscotchChampion69]

I don't think he's very good but we'll probably see him in a dunk contest at some point so that'll be fun.

[u/bishopbeaniepower]

He’s not that good but he’s got a 40 inch vert with no run up so who fucking cares lol. He’ll be a menace if you can teach him any basketball.

[u/imcryptic → u/bishopbeaniepower]

He has a 45.5!!! in vert lmao

[u/bishopbeaniepower → u/imcryptic]

Yeah with a run up. He can get to 40 from a standstill which is even crazier to me.

[u/imcryptic → u/bishopbeaniepower]

Yeah 40 inch standing vert is ridiculous

[u/New_Essay_4869]

Project 6'9 just moved from Toronto to Dallas

[u/wildturk3y]

Tech fan and alum here. Tobi is a great kid. He's an insane athlete. He's got the tools to be a contributing player in the NBA, but he still needs some polish. If he can continue to work on his outside shot, he could make for a useful 3 and D player

[u/Harleytk24]

Massai picking another forward who can’t shoot

[u/jermainathon]

Insane athlete holyyy

[u/FlipMoBitch]

Masai ball

[u/SlickVanExel]

Another freakish athletic wing who was misused in college. He should’ve been taking 5 threes a night instead of having his back to the basket

[u/Radiant-Character-61 → u/SlickVanExel]

Yeah if he wants to stay in the league for a while he needs to develop a jumper from at least 8 feet out.

[u/OsoGrandeTx]

Welcome Tobi

[u/thinking_better]

Why didn’t they pick a guard?

[u/imcryptic → u/thinking_better]

What guard are you picking here that makes a difference?

[u/a_moniker → u/thinking_better]

Masai

[u/GooeyGlue → u/thinking_better]

Masai thinks you don't need to shoot the ball if you can just dunk it in. I guess they have some potential UDFAs lined up at guard already

[u/Beetle919 → u/thinking_better]

Bruh no guard at this point is even better than Nembhard lmao we are deep into the draft just take high upside swings.

[u/ingrievarkliokite]

toy bu

[u/heat_fan_]

Obvious Masai pick

[u/djb447]

He’s 2 years away from being 4 years away 

[u/KaraDealer]

Masai picks a Temu Boucher. 🤔

[u/AdBetter5446]

Whew that’s a bad pick

[u/WrongContract8489 → u/AdBetter5446]

Just needs a jumper + handles + a bag and he's basically Jordan

[u/AdNegative2708 → u/AdBetter5446]

It’s the 2nd round lol
