Dang Lofton and Fabian running #1 and #2 in extra adipose tissue 
15% of 280 is good. I’m a little confused why he’s played heavy most of his career if he’s muscular. That means getting down to 8% he’d weigh 258.7, which is crazy.
The guy should come back and learn defense. He’d be in better shape and would add another skill. But then again NBA doesn’t play as much man to man D as college.
Say what?

They play more off ball defense, i knew that comment would rile some people up.
That’s all the NBA plays. And in this age of teams wanting to switch everything, Lofton needs to be able to move better.

Marcus was 6’1.25". Kinda hilarious that some guys add up to 2" with their combine shoes, and some only add 0.5", and we’re going to use that number to compare them. Should we measure their height with and without hair?
He was closer to 310 previously.
15 is still 15. He is making progress and has more to make.
Just simple facts
Does he play with shoes on or off? He measured 6’3” with shoes on. And pretty sure he was 6’1.5” without shoes. Which rounds up to 6’2”.
And pretty sure everyone thought he would be closer to 6’1” than 6’2” with shoes on. And he was closer to 6’3”. Which is a huge deal. His wingspan measurement goes without saying.
Just looked back. Was 6’1.25” without shoes. Even if you take a quarter of an inch with shoes. 6’2.5”. Big deal for Marcus.
Does he play with his hair braided or picked? What if Coolio does his hair? Is 6’2.75" before or after he pumps up his shoes? Does he use the same insoles every game? 
If only there were some standard way to measure height that takes all this into consideration, like bottom of the foot to top of the head.
Where did the 6’1.5" come from? Was the spreadsheet posted here with 6’1.25" fake news?
Adding 2" to his actual height because of his shoes

Inch and a half. If you look across, pretty standard on the spreadsheet. Ranging from an inch to an inch and 3 quarters. For every guy.
Look again, it ranges from 0.5" to 2".

Okay? And Marcus was 1.5. Put him in the middle of the range and he’s still 6’2.5”.
he doesn’t need a major leap in production he just needs to prove his production wasn’t a flash in the pan, the exact same production but on 30 games and 15-30 is almost guaranteed IMO… i just don’t think 44% is realistic, id be hoping for 40%+ … im a huge sasser fan and i have skepticism in the numbers, there’s a huge advantage to creating a larger sample size of high percentage …there are more games of him shooting 33% (68 games) than him shooting 40%+

EVERYONE uses height with shoes… if you want to list sasser at 6’125 make sure you shave everyone elses height aswell
It’s a weird argument he’s making.
And then Sasser proceeded to dominate in the shoes that had him listed at 6’2.75”. But let’s call him 6’1”. Lol

I’m not going to get into what his ultimate draft position will be or anything like that. I’m merely saying that if he ends this process graded in the 40’s he’s not jumping into the teens and especially the lottery just because next year he does for 30 games what he did for 12 games this past season. The draft doesn’t work like that.
If he was a finished product, I would agree. He’s not, though. And you know that. He played 40% of his junior season.
I’ve also said he needs to show he can create for others. We know he can get his shot whenever, but can he get shots for others consistently? Add that to his game. With his elite offensive skill set. Elite on ball defense. To go along with his plus measurements. He can jump into the lottery. He has to expand his game, though. I’ve noted that.
If he just does next season what he did this season, and nothing else, then I’m with Pesik. He’s probably drafted in the 20s.
When you’re debating whether he’s undersized or not because of the difference of 6’1" vs. 6’3", pointing out that different shoes worn at the combine event added between .5" to 2" seems pretty relevant.

i don’t buy lottery, i think he can grade 15-30 though…
and the draft does work like that… khalif battle puts his production on 30 games he too would be seen as a 15-30, but the current sample size is too same, everyone including me doesnt think he can do 48% for a full season… simply replicating his production but over 30 games would insanely spike his stock.
i can guarantee you if he comes back, with the exact same stat line (44% from 3) sasser will go in the 1st round …i just think the 44% bar is insanely high but think he can still sustain in with over 40% and some stock boosted by hype
another consideration is that there are few guards with tout in the draft, all are freshmen …if a large position of keyonte goerge, nick smith, cason wallace, Scoot Henderson have bad years, i could see sasser in the 10-15 range (but thats not in sasser’s control- again assuming his shooting stats maintian)
