Honestly, my hope is Eli King can be huge on the offensive side. He can score at all levels and has some ridiculous athleticism. High hopes, I know…
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
Freezing cold take. You think by coming to Iowa State for one year that’s magically going to change? AJ is 22 years old. Next year, the g league will still be full of insanely athletic guys that will never play in the league. AJ playing another year of college basketball isnt going to give him more size or make him more athletic.
I’m not saying it was the right or wrong decision. It sucks as a fan. But to say he made a horrible decision is your nut kicked ISU fandom speaking. That being said, I get it.
I wonder how our beloved ISU competes in football and basketball in this super enhanced worship the almighty dollar environment.
He must have multiple accounts on here.
He definitely heard something different in the last couple of days than he’d heard up until that point. I know that for a fact.
I'm just sick of these supposed inside info dudes. They are just a bunch a flaming douchebags
From the beginning, it was going to take really negative feedback for him to come out of the draft so I'm not at all surprised. Everybody at UNI was borderline shocked he even went into the portal.
The Pacers workout went great and he's got an additional meeting with them as well as a second workout with the Hawks scheduled. I know things went really well with the Bucks too.
Guys with inside knowledge are right fifty percent of the time. Which is about my average with no inside info
No one mentions Lipsey. I know he’s small but what I saw of him in high school, I found encouraging. I guess people think we need points out of our point given our atrocious offense, but certainly feel like he could be a good facilitator. I felt anxious when most of last year’s team attempted dribbling except Hunter and Brockington and Tre.
When he got to ISUs campus for his visit he had not gotten the feedback he had been hoping for. Different teams look for different things I guess!
who in the world that has watched us play would have suggested him at point?? Of course I wouldnt know much about his handle, because I don't remember the guy dribbling more than once at a time or once a game.
Completely agree. Green wouldn't get drafted next season even if he made first team All-Big 12. He'd also be a year older which would lower his stock even more.
Someone earlier in this thread after the actual news broke.
I have awful memories of him on a break and someone coming from behind and just cleanly stealing the ball.
Boy I agree, from what I have seen, I just am not sure where he fits in the NBA. Euro league sure. He's a good shooter but at that level he isn't better than anybody else, I have no idea what position he guards, or how he can ever get to the paint. God bless him, I hope he can make a team.
I think it's most likely he was told playing against pros right now is his best shot, that he would have almost nothing to prove at the college level or that he'd be in the same boat next season regardless of what he did in college this year. The idea he needed to play p6 ball to take the next step is outdated.
