I love watching Mike Glover play, kid is a beast. How tall is he?

Couch is right, he needs to improve for the next level (the nba). Keep in my mind most of these guys we watch and love are about 3-5 inches too short to play the next level. A streetballing shooting guard , would have to play point in the league, a dominating power forward in pro city would likely have to play small forward/shooting guard in the league. Guys like Kenny Satt (who I love) would not make it as a shooting guard in the league , but would have to make it as a point. There are exceptions (Ben Gordon is and undersized shooting guard who just got a boat load of money). Just keep in mind when you see guys and picture them in the league , think about what positions they would have to play and what facets they would have to add to their games to be compete.

I think Yi is much older than his listed age so I doubt he gets much better than what he is now.

i think mike glover also needs to become more consistent from the free-throw line. he gets there at will but he doesn’t shoot a very high percentage. if he could get up to 75%, he’d be even more of a weapon.

Yi is a young, highly skilled player that at 7-ft can evolve into a player that can get solid numbers. His motor is a little low and his hand readiness on “D” and “O” is suspect, but if he dedicated himself to weight training and worked hard on bulking up, he could actually turn into a highly mobile center.

He’s not a shot blocker and he didn’t challenge shots last night but he looks as if he could if its made a point of emphasis by his coaches.

Mike Glover is improving but he has to work very hard on his ball handling and one to two dribble pull-up game, or become a Trevor Ariza spot-up 3 type player and start hitting that consistently.

Do you guys think Mike Glover is a pro? I do and would have loved to see him the hall in the Best East. Also why is it you think N.B.A. guys get booed. Yi is a starter in the league and for his national team. He is extremely gifted and has all the tools. Sadly enough he will never be a piece of a winning team in the N.B.A. We want some real pros to come down and give it a try. Either dominate or get dominated. CP,Melo,Bron,Wade,Flip,BD,Nash,Rondo,Rose. Come on Down. We’ll make up for what the Knicks lack. Competition. The funny part is the excuses people use when you’re in the league & when your not in the league. He’s rich he didn’t really want to play. When you kill them. He let him do it or he only scored alot because he shot a lot. Mike said it best. I’m the best player in the world you guys got to see. Shout Outs to Booger Smith,Ed Cota,Junie Sanders,Mel Tinsley,Skip,LO,Showtime Hill,Bone Collector. A few names I would have liked to see go at it.

He also attended American Christian High School in Aston, PA. He played alongside Tyreke Evans.

Mike Glover is getting better and better. He just needs to hit the weight room. He can be a little soft on the putbacks too but you can’t teach soft hands! Anybody can be taught dunks or physical ability in the paint. After watching him put up a double-double at the EBC, Optimus Prime is on his way!

Mike Glover attended Monroe HS. He later moved onto Seton Hall and now at ASA in Brooklyn. Last I heard, Mike was looking at a JuCo in Florida.

Watched Glover at 145th on Sunday and, as usual, was extremely impressed. What’s his story? Where’d he play HS ball? Read somthing about a failed attempt to get him into Seton Hall.
