Damn. I got 10/11 of the top picks in the draft (as far as players, not order) in a mock I made 2 weeks ago. Had Demin 7 and Coward 11. Only missed CMB being higher and Bryant sliding.

I don't know a lot about him, but he's a center.

College ball is pretty good IMO. Don't watch obvious mismatches. Watch good teams going against each other. Less games every game is meaningful. Intensity.

Why do you say that? Injuries?

injuries yeah, lot to give up for a guy who hasn’t played a ton of basketball over the years


On the flip side if he stays healthy he's a good player.

Why are trade threads not created on draft day? I don’t want to scroll through this mess to find the threads that happened.

Just watch like 5-10 minutes of youtube on each of them and pretend you know their games. It's what I do, and it's time well-invested.

Sorber's 6'9" maybe 6'8" in pros. He's a 4. Watching his tape now he's a bit too heavy and slow to be a 3.
