Front offices look at guys social media accounts before drafting them. This isn't new. I've submitted reports to numerous teams on prospects social media tendencies.


hopefully they ignore you after the Cade debacle. :lol:


As long as they pay me I don't really care what they do with the intel.

this class overall is so unimpressive. teams should be praying for a top3 pick otherwise it's essentially a crapshoot.

100% with you. This is going to be a low key international draft. You put Procida and Gui Santos on college teams and they vault into the top 15. It is laughable how poor the performances have been by top "prospects" in the NCAA tournament.

Some of the more well known names coming in like Nzosa etc haven't shown much.

Even with a top 3 pick nothing is guaranteed outside of Jabari. This is why the OKC model of putting all your eggs in the draft basket can fail.

Well Okc sarted with SGA so they were already a step ahead of the 76ers Process™. However, you are correct, they need the same lottery luck any other team needs. Most of their picks are not premium picks either. So if they end up outside of the top 3 and their pick does not pop like Scottie Barnes, you begin to wonder how long will SGA stay on the train.

Who are you liking in this draft for our Grizz? You mentioned Sochan before. Anyone else?

If Duren has a blinder against Chet (not the best start but could turn it around) what does that do to his stock?

Where the fruit is Chet? Hello hello? Elimination game against NBA sized goobers? Now we start pooping rotten goose eggs?

Also can we talk about how getting rid of Emoni Bates made Memphis 'good' all of a sudden?

Well, it did eventually put him in foul trouble so it kinda worked.

He did hit a 3 and then he almost got T'd up.

If Gonzaga played Carolina 100 games, they would lose like 75 of them.

Goober transition basketball based on athleticism is what takes Gonzaga apart.

Yep. Hardaway has coached an excellent half. Memphis' defensive plan has completely taken away Gonzaga's interior passing. They can't get the ball to their bigs at all.
