Even for a troll, you’ve got to be embarrassed by these two posts back to back.

It's normal quality college hoops. Don't really know what to tell you.

I guess, I'm seeing a lot of terrible play, and it's jarring as hell going from watching the pros to this.

Top 10. Definitely a lotto pick, imo. I just wouldn't want to be the one drafting him.

He is 100% capable of being a double-double machine from the get go but how useful is that nowadays? He is going to be a good starter and a very solid contributor, yes, but will he be a star or a max contract player? His player type works against him, imo.

Even someone like Bam who brings more to the table than that isn't quite a bonafide star. Not yet, at least. The only real star of that type is Gobert and that's because he is a historically dominant defender. Duren definitely has elite defensive tools and great potential on that end but he doesn't quite project to be Gobert level. He doesn't have that insane length that Gobert does. No one does. It's just Gobert and Wembanyama, the projected #1 pick in next year's draft.

That's why I wouldn't want to be the one drafting him. He will 100% be great at what he does, imo, but that's not enough to make him a star which means that I'd rather roll the dice on someone who could be a star instead.


In terms of rim-running bigs...
I guess Jarrett Allen can classify as a star. He was an all-star this year, and should've been voted in the first time without filling in someone's spot. Clint Capela last year was like a weak DPOY candidate guy maybe, so if you think Duren had more offensive ability with stuff like passing, he could also be in the star category.

Think I had the wrong idea about Jabari's demeanor. Lately been noticing a more animated version of him. Motor running high right now against Jax St

I feel like it's gotten worse. Back in the day you had Patrick Ewing, Mully, & Easy Ed Pickney all battling it out in the Big East. There were some epic games back then. Now it feels like the only memorable games are these mid major upsets that almost feel predictable now.
