The (VERY) Skinny On Round 1

From cnnsi.com's Thursday afternoon mock draft:

16 -- SF
Austin Daye
Gonzaga
Soph.
6-11
192



17 -- PG
Brandon Jennings
Lottomatica Roma (Italy)
6-2
165


18 -- PG
Eric Maynor
VCU
Sr.
6-3
164


My son (PM) is 13 1/2 years old. He is 5'10 1/2" in bare feet. There is not one single ounce of fat on the kid. He weighs 140 pounds.

Austin Daye -- 6'11", 192 pounds!?!?!?! 192!?!? Louie Orr and Corey Brewer will beat him up if they ever meet him. 192?

Jennings -- 6'2" and 165. OK, so assume he is 6'1" barefoot. He is 2 inches taller and only 25 pounds heavier than my 13 year old.

Maynor -- He is an inch taller and yet one pound lighter than Jennings!!!!!!!!!

Corey Brewer has about a 28 inch waist, no thighs and no calves. Corey listed at 6'8" and 195.

So Austin Daye is Corey Brewer stretched 3 inches and dropped 3 pounds. Hard to even imagine. Are his knee joints bigger than his thighs (ala Manute Bol)?

I am trying to think of a super skinny NBA guard. Tony Parker has some muscle now, but maybe I can go back to his draft weight when he was a little twirpy dude. Hold on. 2001 Draft Report -- Tony Parker 6'1", 180.

So Maynor is 2 inches taller and 16 pounds lighter; Jenning is 1 inch taller and 15 pounds lighter.

I would just like to trade for 25% of their metabolism, and they can take 25% of mine.
