^come on now, you know you need to take some of those names off of the list.

Bam Adebayo must be in a Nets uniform next season.

Ball, Monk and Tatum are still fun to watch. During halftime we should all egg Billy King's car.

Billy King is lucky that there is a level of civility and decency when it comes to American sports. In Europe or Latin America a car egging would be the last thing he'd have to worry about

16 Points, 14 Rebounds. His PnR defense with Monk is excellent.

He looks shorter than Dwight Howard but he's built just the same and he's only 19. I'd like to see them run some deep post catches for him.

levert is out after he just played? did he get sick or throw up after seeing how awful the nets play?

[jbeachboy]

is mcdaniels active tonight? hope nicholson plays too.

Golden State can clinch a playoff birth with a win. How fitting that can happen against Brooklyn.

I will probably skip this game. I can only take so much of Draymond Green mouth being open.

[Appwrangler]

Trap game for Golden State. But it's a rusty old trap that probably won't work so, with KD out I think the Nets have a chance of staying within 30.

[antique0o0]

Bad defense against great offense, not gonna be pretty.

[KlicKlac]

Well, we did end up resting starters because of the blow out and durant isn't playing.

Maybe we can at least keep the game entertaining. Maybe lin will go off

[antique0o0]

Lin's home town...

Re: College Prospect Watch

So I've been watching college basketball today and caught Texas v Kansas & UCLA v Arizona.

Players to watch
Texas: Jarrett Allen (projected late 1st rd pick)
Kansas: Joshua Jackson (top 5 pick), Frank Mason (2nd rd?)

UCLA: Lonzo Ball(top 3 pick), TJ Leaf (late 1st), Anigbogu (late 1st)
Arizona: Markkanen (top 10), Trier (late 2nd)

Late 1st Round Defensive Centers: Jarrett Allen v Anigbogu
Allen is a two-way center with quick feet and pretty good fundamentals on both ends of the court. Texas' struggles this season are hardly his fault, as he generally found ways to do his job on both ends. Altogether, seems like a solid prospect (definitely a top 10 prospect in a lighter draft). He was an All-American in HS and has the goods on the court, but wasn't necessarily a dominant force given the increasingly perimeter-oriented college game. He seems like a kid who could seriously thrive with Brook Lopez as his veteran.

Finished with 20pts (8/13), 11reb, 1blk.

Anigbogu is a physical defensive presence. Doesn't average a ton of minutes and doesn't have much offensive upside whatsoever (defend, run, & dunk guy) but in terms of sheer defensive impact from the center position, he's up there.

Finished with...5pts.

Survey says: While Anigbogu has serious potential as a defensive presence, Marks seems to prefer big men who can contribute to stretching the floor and compete on both ends. With this in mind, Allen is probably the best center for what the FO is looking for.

Late 2nd Round Prospects:

Frank Mason is one of the best guards in college basketball. With shades of Yogi Ferrell to his game, the diminutive guard from Kansas is a tough kid who can score, pass, and get into his opponents defensively. Marks likes big guards, so I don't think the FO will pursue Mason, but this kid is gonna impress in the tournament.

Allonzo Trier exploded for 28pts (11/14), 5r, 2ast for Arizona. Wasn't on my radar before, but in terms of perimeter threats like Kennard, Trier might be right there with Luke in terms of under the radar SG prospects.

[KlicKlac]

Lin being aggressive. Game may be worth watching
