Dennis Rodman, the best rebounder in NBA history, was 6'7.

Facts

[@mshahnazi7636]

An absolute steal for the Celtics at #55 player taken in the draft.
In Watson and Sheiermann they have TWO players who are NBA ready.
As someone mentioned in the posts:
“Watson is like Dennis Rodman and Dremond Green as a tenacious defender and rebounder”.

[@pariswilson-xq6ff]

Watson is also second all time behind Stockton in steals in the Gonzaga basketball Program major steal hes most likely Als replacement and baylor is hausers replacement so hopefully we can send them off with a another chip this season

[@justinquinn4663]

Who writes 'delve' in the year of our lord 2024?

[@buckchile614]

His angels

[@SyNdicateZ81]

He cant be AL's replacement unless he can knock down 3's

[@YoonEcorn]

All about learning in the NBA the mechanics there are elite

[@buckchile614]

Check. Ask Brad

[@SyNdicateZ81]

If they truly thought he was Al's replacement, they woulda took Watson in the 1st.
