By no means am I recommending this game as much as I am tomorrows between Ajay Mitchell VS Keyonte George....

but the COLGATE VS TEXAS game might be decent..

I watched this guy from colgate play once. He is a solid lil PG wit some sauce lol

One of the first hires of new ownership will be UNCNYC as a college basketball scout. You heard it here first.

Double teamed most of the game but I clearly have Ajay Mitchell as the top PG and a top 10 talent in this draft. Only thing he could use is a better jumper but he is not a bad shooter tho

My top 10 now

1. Nikola Durisic
2. Jalen WIlson
3. Brandon Miller
4. Ajay Mitchell
5. Craig Porter JR
6. Jalen Hood Schifino
7. Gradey Dick
8. Azuolas Tubelis
9. Brice Sensabaugh
10. Jaime Jacquez

Not sure I'm in love with Miller watching this game. He's got a nice frame and can shoot, but he doesn't remind me of Tatum. Ironically he's a like a taller PJ Washington with how he plays on both ends of the floor lol. The good thing is that Alabama wins when he plays well. I feel like PJ Washington rarely has an impact when he plays.

Miller is 5-17

He shot 25% against Texas A&M.

Not having a good tournament at all.

Miller is playing with a groin injury. I respect that he's toughing it out and continuing to play. A lot of players in his position would have sat out (Scoot Henderson did).

He still had 23 vs Texas am and then tonight he had 19/7. He isn’t shooting the ball well but he is figuring out a way to still score.

Alabama only had 73 points tonight, him scoring 26% of their team total doesn’t feel like an awful game.

If we pick 4th or later and Wembanyama, Scoot, and Miller are all off the board who do we draft?

One of the Thompson twins? Anthony Black? Someone else?

I'm starting to like Cam Whitmore. He reminds me a lot of Miles Bridges, but with better foot speed. An athlete like him that goes up to dunk everything and is a solid shooter on top of that is a pretty good bet. He and Black are my favorite college prospects after Miller.

At this point, I'm Wemby, Miller, Scoot, Black in that order. So my draft is largely covered assuming the Lolcat doesn't roar and ORL loses all remaining games while Cliffy leads a 9-1 end of year rally.

I actually think Ajay Mitchell should be considered a top 5 pick. Only a sophmore and imo the most talented player in the whole draft. They prolly just found out about him after the tourney.

I would draft Ajay and trade Melo for a bunch of picks

I honestly don't know if the franchise will recover in the next 5 years if they don't get a top 3 pick. That sounds like hyperbole, but its very easy to see this team on a path of Washington Wizards purgatory for the next decade if they don't get this pick.

I'm mentally preparing myself for #6. That's most likely scenario.

Amen
Ausar
Walker
Whitmore
Dick
George
Smith Jr
Wallace
Black

It will be one of those 9. Just pray we throw the correct dart.

Dick so we can joke about having Dick and Ball(s) when we sign LiAngelo.
