Nick Babb

haven't read this thread, but browsing this page, this is one of the dumbest things I have read. Bunch of NBA scouts sitting around going over the HS ranking sheet. Hmmmm yep this guy was number 9 overall in 2014, I guess we should take him. Duhhhhh

He's going to get drafted because of his "potential" and his hype coming out of HS, not because of his play at KU

I agree with what youre trying to say, but hype out of HS does not matter after a year of college. If he gets drafted, it will be because of his physical measurables, and the potential those offer. A lot of guys with solid measurables don't pan out, though. And CA is far from a sure thing.

Then why will he get drafted? He's not getting drafted because he's 6'8 with slow feet
 
Nick has arrived in town... Think he'd be a nice fit for Hoiball.

@NazzyJLong: #cycIONEnation follow my brother! @youngbabb14. Just got in town for his official visit & yes @ChrisBabb52's lil bro. http://t.co/4Ls1p91ufq

If he can play defense like his brother, sign him up now. Chris was one of the best all around defenders I have ever seen.

Reading the Arkansas board, they were excited for his defense, and said he was called Babb Island in AAU because of his defense.
 
Okay, I think I know, but going to check anyway. Just what is the reference to Babb Island have to do with his defensive abiltiy?

I don't care if he was mocking Babb, that **** was funny.

I understand that defensive ability isn't hereditary. But, if the younger Babb has similar work ethic to his brother, you can expect that he will attack the weight room over a RS year and come out similar to Chris when he showed up in Ames. spend the year bulking up and practicing the corner three. If he can hit that shot and defend, he's worth a scholarship.

One other thing to remember, 2016 is going to be a rebuilding year. They're going to have to build around Cooke, Thomas, hopefully Noshowiak and Boucher, and Babb. They will need a good blend of HS talent, jucos and SR eligible players to have a team above NIT level.
 
I talked to the guys in the office (huge BB fans) and they really like Nick and the potential he has and are disappointed to see him go. Most felt that he would've been a big contributor for the Hogs next season. I'm really excited about the possibility that he may be wearing the Cardinal and Gold. His defense is just what we need.
