I can see Timme in the NBA as a garbage big at the end of your bench.

I was so hyped just because Gonzaga has killed UCLA all these years. But then Strawther ruined the moment like 4 seconds later.

Anyway, good end to the season for Bailey. Curious if he declares or stays. Bet he stays.

My favorite moment of the tournament. "Hey Coach tell me what play we should run again...never mind."

Andre Jackson might actually have some NBA potential as a Bruce Brown type of role player.

My bets looking pretty good I had Alabama -7.5 Tennessee ML and Miami +7 on a parlay and lost that but hit Gonzaga +1.5 and Uconn ML, last game on that one is Texas ML so if texas hits i turn 100 into 230

Alabama SDSU should be similar to what FAU Tennessee was, SDSU has problems scoring just like Tennessee. I can't see them putting up enough to hang with Alabama until the end.

Yeah, I mentioned Jackson a while back. He and Kobe Johnson at USC are interesting Swiss Army knife types.

Apparently he yelled "watch this" to the crowd just before they ran that lol. In a tie game in OT at MSG in the sweet sixteen. A walking bag of onions.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

He's 7 feet and skilled, but not quite the passer I would want him to be where I'd be excited about it. I wouldn't hate drafting him.

Agreed. He’s a tough kid too. Performs at his best when the lights are brightest.


Agreed with all of those things. That's why I do think there's a possibility he's taken, depending on who's available

I much prefer going after a guard or a wing though, I just don't know who is going to be on the board

Yeah I don’t get the hype for either him or Nick smith

I mean I guess I get the hype for tall guards with some skill, but they would be a bad fit for the raps cuz they can’t shoot. We don’t need more tall guys who can’t shoot lol


Smith can shoot and has elite quickness (Maxey), but can't pass and doesn't use size well, so he is limited in guarding 1 and 2.

Black looks to me like (a very young) Banton, can go down hill and finish, good defender.

It is a weak draft to me, so they could be drafted in the lottery. I am not seeing many elite athleticism players as compare to last two draft, maybe things will change a bit after Draft Combine measurement.

Aside from Giannis there aren't really many 'elite athleticism' players that hit later in the draft. When you get that unique combo of athleticism and talent teams will draft that player high. I think it's typically obvious that either they were dominating high school with physical features and teams overlooked weaker freshman production, or that they then dominated as a freshman. Later draft hits are just harder to gauge, because they have been overlooked by scouts and GMs and often questioned for their size and athleticism.

Sidy at 26 would be a steal. Too low IMO.
We arent drafting NSJ.
Cason Wallace great pick at 13.
