+1 for this


Seriously though. If you love Flagg, then ask her out.

Almost time for Stojokovic to play, So that means tell your girlfriend to hurry up and shave her GOATEE so you can get in the bathroom and relieve that burrito you ate yesterday so you can enjoy the game.

Cooper is obviously by far the best prospect. Time to look more into Bailey and others.

I like Edgecombe/Bailey if we don't get Harper. I'd say the guy I'm least comfortable with would be demin followed by Jaku and then tre johnson. I have a crush on the way Edgecombe plays if we pick 4th or 5th. He would at that point be in the convo for best bpa aswell as being best fit.

I dunno. I like Tre a lot. 6 6 guard who shoots the absolute piss out of the ball

Last thing we need is another shooter. Edgecombe brings something we don't have someone who will drive and defend. He's this years Castle in that sense.

We already chuck enough 3's with Melo/Miller/Bridges. Someone has to do the dirty work.

If we didn’t have Miller I’d love Tre Johnson, but we do, so he’s kind of redundant

Stojokovich is waaaay better than this. The other night he started slow and scored like 20 second half so maybe today will repeat

Yeah no team could ever use a 6 6 guard who shoots 40 percent from 3. lol. I like Edgecombe as well but saying the last thing any team including ours is another shooter is an interesting take to put it mildly

I mean if you like the chuck fest offense we have now then he fits right in. I just don't want another guy who brings nothing besides shooting.

If you want to refer to a chuck fest offense refer to coaching. Having an elite shooter who is 6 6 is always ideal.

Lol, well it wouldn't be the first time I predicted players WAY back to be better than players ahead of them and be right about it.

Recent players I predicted were

Ben Sheppard
Ajay Mitchell
Andre Jackson
Grady Dick
Aaron Wiggins
Scottie Pippen JR
Ayo Dosunmu
Cody Martin
Caleb Martin

Just to name a few all high contributors to their teams and waaay better than many drafted and ranked ahead of them

Don't get all sensitive now. It's okay to disagree on prospects. :D

Harper looks like a day one starter and then it looks like a huge drop off.

Bailey and Harper might be the next two players taken and they play on the same team, a Rutgers squad that is probably going to miss the tournament.

Imagine how disappointing it must be for your school to have 2 guys projected in the top 5 and they can’t drag you to the post season.

I am hearing people say Bailey doesn’t pass. In their recent 18 pt loss to purdue they opposing team loaded up on Bailey and he still didn’t pass.
