Such a wasted pick because he's Scottie's friend


Could've drafted an actual center, instead of a 25 year old tweener with not a single weapon.

Filliposki was literally right there

Duke's best player vs some juco journey man who had one decent year in a trash conference, like don't overthink this Bobby

I remember watching Dick on Kansas in March Madness, and I never understood the hype.

Apparently we’re trying to win this year and he’s still coaching like we’re a tanking team

Grady Dick has gotten worst every season. We need a serious overhaul of our development staff and bring someone else in to run it. None of our players have progressed and I worry what they’re going to do to CMB who’s already afraid to look at the rim and basically never drives - all things he did in college

Well they let him get into a rhythm offensively last year.

When we didn't care about wins.

Now that we do, we can't afford to let him just keep shooting like ****

They should trade him to a team that will use him appropriately. It's clear that this team is unwilling to use him as the offensive weapon that he is.

Nice move Barnes see what happens when he gets in deep and goes up instead of jumping too early

What's annoying is Gradey is actually playing well otherwise.

How are the top picks in this year's draft. Not as good as last year?
