I think I've narrowed it down to the mainboard and the power supply. Too bad I don't have any PC stores around here besides those crappy "mainstream ones" (you know, those with 5 items per category and mostly crappy ones); I'm gonna have to get them via Amazon express to have it here on Monday..

Same here.

"Off Topic Thread" text is way too close to the "board index" text.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on.

I'm not seeing any topics on the main page anymore. Just the board name on the left and that's it.

I really enjoy watching them. They remind me of those big 8 teams back before the one and done rule ruined college basketball.

Seldon and Perry will make nice NBA players.
Neither will be a star but both should be good role players and be able to hold starter minutes.

Ellis will be lucky to ever even get a shot at a rotation, and if he does it will be on a bad team.

Seldom has tools but is so inconsistent that I have no clue what to expect from him.

Ellis has the make up of a solid fundamentals contributor off the bench who can work within a system. Hes the type of guy the spurs or Warriors would pick up and put to use.

Wayne has the potential to be scary. Not super scary, but a poor mans pierce scary. Im starting to question if his NBA window has passed or will be delayed in a way it should not have been.
He's one of those players who IMO would have benefited most from going right into the NBA or spending one year in college. Im starting to wonder how wide his range of weapons can be. I think his ceiling for his already learned skills is fairly high, but i question what he can add to it.

That Soloman, Soluman? Whatever his name is, for Maryland.... that guys going to be a big time NBA player. Franchise guy. He has Rose/Westbrook style written all over him.

Ellis is currently showing his very high BBall IQ btw. Id be surprised if he fell out of the first round. But if he did, it would still be within the first five to ten of the second. Dunno, i have to check this years potential draftee's. Havent done so in a few months.

Ellis is projected a mid/late second from NBAdraft.net, didn't check DX. But good win by KU.

Sulaimon a franchise guy? Not even close. Not even a little bit. He's not even a projected 1st round pick as far as I know. Regardless, even if he's a mid to late 1st round or 2nd round steal, he's much closer to being a fringe NBA player than he is a "franchise guy."

Ellis is really a poor man's Wayne Simien. And any guy that isn't projected top 3 in a draft is a big time long shot to become half the player of Rose/Russ. Feels like some major overreactions from watching a game.

Needs to develop.

Yah i saw earlier in the year he was projected, i think it was 3rd in the 2nd round.
I still have to check the updated projections but from what i remember i caant see him falling out of that 22-35 range. He has too high of an IQ with great fundamentals. An already contending team that does not need any major minute guys would love to pick up someone like him.

I highly doubt it, DX has him 41 now.

1. Big Dub and Ellis are two very different players. Their games do not resemble one another in the least. Big Dub was far more of a traditional NBA 4 and didnt do much beyond that, 80% of his game was old school post- up moves. He even had that great hook shot that he specialized in.
The two players dont belong on the same shelf in the least.

2. The other kid, Sulaimon, i never saw play until tonight. But having gone back and watched many of his highlights, yah. He's dangerous and watch out when he is getting paid to work out full time.
He has the same speed. Same speed control. Same ability to get to the rim at will. Add some muscle to this guy and man.... He also has an impressive jumper already as well.

I checked two different mocks and they didnt even have him coming out this season. A S16 appearance might change that, but whatever. Given what i saw from the top 15 of the mock, it might be better for him to stay one more year.
Who knows.

Well he's not staying in school, he's a Sr.
