Like Culver even more even with this bad game. Agree though that they're making Reddish look better with their performances. Lol

For me, this performance had little effect on their stock. That said, Culver just continues to look better and better as a PG prospect for me but he is not a wing at all. If you use him as a wing, you will be disappointed

OMFG college officiating is freaking horrible. How was that not a tie-up?

I can see Culver's playmaking abilities but can't see him as a fulltime point.

Then what do you think he is? A Bembry swiss knife off the bench type?

To have two players with the initials JC, who look like they could easily be brothers would be kinda cool. But you now what would be even cooler? Zion and Bol.

Rich man's? I don't think so but he is clearly better than Bembry as a prospect. Bembry athletic ability and ability to beat defenders off the dribble is a major benefit.
I am liking Culver mind in this game. Once he gets Jerome or Clark on him, he goes into attack mode. He needs to keep doing that.

I need Hunter to get aggressive again

I am telling you, Culver is a heck of a PG prospect

Yeah I'm loving his approach.

Hunter went to sleep again. Maybe he'll wake up again.

Eta. On cue

My biggest issue with Hunter and why I think we must go with Reddish is Hunter has slow hands. Look how quick Culver hands is. It's like DeAaron Fox.

I'm really thinking that if the lottery stays the same (it won't), that Culver won't get past the Bulls. He's more of a safe guy but he fits what they need so much it's wild.

That was a great play there by him.

How fitting, Hunter is available this time and he explodes in their 1 vs 16 to keep them from losing and he has a great game here to help them most likely win the title game. I am all for taking him, and it's because of more than just this game.

Hunter will never be a star but damnit, he is a lock to be a long time starter and contributor. Facts!
