Agree, ANT looks like the next great wing/guard to lead the league. Kind of a mix of Wade/Jordan/Lebron. Not the greatest 3pt shooter, but just an amazing athlete for his size and a crazy competitor. Maybe the most competitive player since Kobe.
Turner looks like a potential 10 year starter at a premium position. Also helps to replace Hunter. McCarthy might be the real deal and we did not give up the farm to get him.
Great outcome for this draft already.
Penix offers a lot of value at a later pick versus trading the farm to trade up for McCarthy. I would rather see us take a mauler on the o-line or d-line with our early pick and then take Penix later in the 1st round. My theory is that great teams with talent across all positions are easier to...
Don't think that TJ is a big flight risk, but a job like Kentucky is objectively better than Iowa State, especially in the age of NIL and crazy TV deals.
Think that Milan needs some time to fill out his frame to make it to the next level. Athlete wise he is not on the elite jumper/speed/size/power end. He is a good shooter and a decent post-up scorer but he needs to be elite at those skills to go to the NBA. Hoping that is accomplished over the...
This team is has a chance to be special, it keeps finding a way through the tough games, beating the teams it should beat, and beating the highly rated.
If we shoot well from 3, we have a good chance against any team in the country. Still a huge challenge and anything can happen in March. Toughest teams for us are teams with good size, good shooting, or good ball handling.
That would not be worth Jefferson, we would need a Marvin Harrison Jr and 2 more 1st picks to be close. Jefferson is on the Jerry Rice trajectory, you don't trade a player like that for Tee Higgins and a few mid-range picks.
We can still make a run, but Rob Jones, Tre King and Milan need to get it together. They combined for 7 points today, that cannot happen for guys playing about 90 minutes a game. Play Omaha or Watson more if that's the output we're getting.
To only lose by 8 when Tamin had an off night and Shead was on fire is not a bad outcome. Think that we could beat them in KC if we play again. Strong sign that our team is for real when we can compete with the top of the entire NCAA while on the road and not shooting well.
