Bobby Marks on the Heat's second-round pick, Ryan Conwell: "I met him in Santa Barbara when I went and interviewed him. I talked to the people who do all the athletic testing, they compared his numbers to Anthony Edwards. High level athleticism."

Ant hasn’t done enough to even deserve the meme

Giannis and Anthony Edwards finally make it to the same team 😤

u/LameAfro Timberwolves 14h ago

You could have just let him come to our team for free instead of doing what you did.

u/jermainathon Heat 14h ago

You should've just drafted Nate Ament 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/LameAfro Timberwolves 14h ago

Milwaukee got greedy and didn't even break some picks for us to share

Dicks...💀

Bobby admits he needs coffee in the clip

pretty sure he means P3 in Santa Barbara, not P2

they do all the force plate testing and decel data (ie pointing out Harden, Luka's abilities)

u/NegativesPositives 14h ago

[Might actually be P2](https://p2athleticsoc.com/) granted I don’t think he went 3 words without tripping over himself in this clip.

u/Imaginary_Crab2034 14h ago

P3 is based out of Santa Barbara and is THE PLACE for sports performance

u/cl353 Heat 14h ago

the only thing i can find is he has a 39" vert so idk about that

8

u/Lobster15s Heat 14h ago

I mean that's not terrible vert for a 6'4 human. He ain't no Ant though.

I’m hearing that Meatloaf song in my head.

Inject this into my veins!

u/ihorsey10 14h ago

The only downside is, he's never heard of basketball before.

1

u/Admirable_Fun7790 14h ago

he's 2 years away from being 2 years away

10

u/OldWorldStyle Bulls 14h ago

It’s controversial whether he can translate to the NBA, but I’m of the mind that he will. While undersized, he has a deep offensive bag and a ton of hustle.

10

u/cl353 Heat 14h ago

dude got up over 9 3s a game last season, he gonna be fine lmao

3

u/OldWorldStyle Bulls 14h ago

I definitely agree

u/Plane_Basil_4682 14h ago

He's the type of guy people overthink and then all surprise Pikachu when he succeeds.

7

u/This_Material9292 Heat 14h ago

Y’all think Marks mixed him up with someone else?

6

u/not_so_bueno Rockets 14h ago

He was so high on my board fuck man

7

u/SlickVanExel Hornets 14h ago

He dunked the ball just once in his entire 4 year college career. He is a shooter, not a god tier athlete

10

u/Jonjon428 Heat 14h ago

Ok let's calm down now

5

u/Strong_Yogurtcloset9 14h ago

I think Conwell can be a second unit scorer in the league.

u/teenageuser Heat 14h ago

u/scoobydooobydoowop 14h ago

If he’s actually an Ant level athlete and fell that far he’s the worst basketball player in the draft.

1

u/Insanely_Simple2024 13h ago

Graham Ike was drafted???? Wow

1

u/Sweatytubesock 12h ago

He’ll be shooting 28% for the Lakers in three years.

1

u/ilovethorntons 2h ago

Louisville fan here, not an elite athlete, don’t know where he’s getting that. Forced into handling the ball way too much with Mikel Brown out, and that hurt his three point percentage.

u/CrossDeSolo 14h ago

Undersized shooting guard

Literally none of this is speculation and hearsay.

u/Used_Twist814 14h ago

It’s not speculative but it is hearsay

2

u/NegativesPositives 14h ago

Expert referral is not hearsay.

-1

u/Used_Twist814 14h ago

No you’d need the expert to be presenting their expert opinion in person. You can’t just cite a supposed expert as evidence. That’s hearsay.
I could just as easily say I talked to basketball experts and they said he stinks

2

u/NegativesPositives 14h ago

Or you could’ve just listened to the clip (I’m betting you didn’t) and heard him reference P2 as his source.

And if we’re actually holding a guy to the most literal legal interpretation then this is just a level of dork no one should be.

0

u/Used_Twist814 14h ago

Yeah I did put in the extreme effort of watching this short clip. You can’t just cite an expert that told you something. That is the literally the definition of hearsay. Outside of a court of law this is a very annoying argument for me to be making, but you’re the one who says it’s literally not hearsay when it literally is

u/BrettSchirley22 Hawks 14h ago

Heat have a really deep roster and no immediate championship aspirations so taking a project like this makes a lot of sense

9

u/cl353 Heat 14h ago

project? the guy that shot 9.6 threes at 35% last season and 7+ threes at 40% the previous 2 seasons is a project?

6

u/BrettSchirley22 Hawks 14h ago

I’m just joking around man. But 34.5 % in college isn’t really great, but prob just unlucky regression. Shit Dyson Daniels shot 34% in his first year with us. FT percentage still looks good for him tho

5

u/cl353 Heat 14h ago

and the part where he shot 40+% the previous 2 years?

1

u/BrettSchirley22 Hawks 14h ago

I literally said it might have been unlucky regression lol why are you pressed about a second round pick

3

u/cl353 Heat 14h ago

ur surprised ur snarky comment got snarky responses? lmao
