But what big and what constitutes as a big?!

Overseas?

First round bigs don’t exist in NCAA, unless you are looking to develop.

And hell no Knecht won’t be close to Magic pick.

And please don’t say Filipkowski


Yes... develop. Exactly.
1st round bigs for 3rd C to develop and trot out for celebrations Im going with Ware or Clingan.
2nd round Im curious about Iviscic-something

For the JI understudy Im thinkin of Smith from GL. Although with GL closing after this season because it sucks, im leery if he is worth it.

Also, there are good 1st round bigs in the NCAA. You forgot M.Williamd and Lively? But yeah, there is no good Duke prospect this season. The nearest I was all for was PRoctor after he showed up last year. This year he kinda sucks though.


McCain is their best prospect

Young. Can absolutely snipe it. And room to grow. Can play off ball with Franz/Paolo

McCain, 6'2 Shooting Guard with suspect athletic ability? Their best prospect? No wonder Duke sucks this year.

Yeah he can shoot it especially when he is hot.

Also, Holmes isn't giving me hope for him.

You are in your 3rd year already and your team kinda sucks. This is the NCAAT the least you could do is produce some numbers. Buttt noooo.. you gotta be punked by the wolfpack.

Holmes will be a better NBA player than Ware.

Look at all the bodies Nevada is throwing at Holmes. He dominated the first minutes of the game and their coach said hell no, the guards are gonna have to beat us.

Ware has talent but as a big ten fan he doesn’t dominate games like he should. Holmes does. Just look at their numbers. And don’t say big ten vs A10…. Big ten was ass this year.

Yea he’s not gonna DUNK on someone, but this team needs shooting.

Him and Brea from Dayton are snipers.

All guards?


We are already big everywhere. Why would you target another big in the first round?

Shannon Jr is 6 foot 7.

That might as well be a big in the NBA these days.

Sure you can targets big in FA. I like Pember who fits the NBA game in second round. Why let Goga walk? Wendell will still be here. Paolo and Franz both might as well be bigs, and you know Mo is going nowhere.

We need guards who can score.
Shannon reminds me a lot of Nick Anderson. Both big SGs and both played at Illinois.

One other thing they have in common is a rape allegation that appears to not be true. Back in the day, I believe a woman tried to extort money out of Anderson and made up false allegations. Nick passed polygraph tests. I remember him crying over it.

Bro we didn’t even have to bring that up.

The judge would not grant him permission to play if he had an inkling of it being true.

TSJ didn’t do anything.

He is going to be a stud in the league.

Good that Holmes got his average numbers in the game. However that dude disappeared and they got into a 13pt hole before that.

We keep winning so this guy is likely not in our range anymore but he's nearly 23 years old and ready to contribute right away:

Oh yeah... but lol short unatheltic ( is he a PG or SG) archetype are not really my forte at all.

If you dont know him and just tuned in that game, you might have thought he was the coach son about to graduate...
