Do you ever post about anyone other than Chris Ledlum? Like man we all know you’re either his dad or his best friend.


Believe in quality over quantity, thanks for noticing


Where are your quality posts then regarding Ledlum?

We have seen a high quantity over the years, including multiple threads for the guy.

I think he is going to be 20 on draft night which is a year younger than Williams and the same age as Podz. I like him as a 3rd wing type with some upside to be a 3&D starter.


are you sure of the date? Thought he was older.


12/18/2003. Just turned 20.

How do you have any context for scouting NBA prospects if you are so focused on literally this one guy? I mean sure, if I ignore every other prospect, then this guy looks great. But the problem for him is that there are like 5000 other college players trying to get drafted and you never seem to talk about any of them. So why should anyone (including yourself) trust your opinion on this one kid? You are doing him a disservice tbh.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

So you were celibate and never dated anyone else before you got married...that sounds like an arrangement. :lol:

Extremely under the radar is James Scott a Freshman from Charleston. A lot of dunks, some passing and rim protection. 6'11"
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

so uh.. whats the deal with Jonathan Mogbo?

Very late grower/developer but is now 6'8.
His numbers are insane, but will be a 23 yr old rookie. Hard to tell if he's just a late bloomer adjusting to his growth spurt and position changing or if he's just dominating as an older guy. Seems like he is making huge developmental leaps every year, started in community college, then JUCO, then low d1, and is now dominating for San Fran Dons.

Feels like a first rounder though

Tafara Gapare for Georgie Tech isn't going to wow the box score watchers but he's got NBA athleticism and and NBA body. He can defend and shoot or at least shows promise. Anyone that can do this at 6'9" is likely on scouts radars

Yeah, its strange, he's a former guard who shoots 75% from the ft line, but he's made 8 non-rim field goals all season

Emanuel Miller

5th year Senior, going to be 24 in June 2024.
But, good defensive player, has become a 40% 3P shooter and 84% FT Shooter this year. Career highs in AST% and Career Low in TOV%, showing clear signs of improvement and growth this year as a player. Plays for TCU, so we will see him in some high-stakes games [Big 12 Tournament games and NCAA Tournament].

Jevon Porter is finally getting back into form after his injury, killing it the last four games

for those that don't know, he's the younger brother of MPJ and Jontay Porter...really not sure what's wrong with this family though they cant seem to stop getting injured.
