Love it. Great player, great kid (well young man, but theyre all kids at my age).

If Curt had been a 3 or 4 year guy, he would be up there with Georges on the S-tier of all time faves.

I think he’ll be a bench microwave in the NBA a la Lou Williams. Somebody will get a heck of guy at discount.

Go get them CuJo. Excellent talent with a high motor.

I definitely see that comparison.

Teams need shot makers.

 

[FinalFourCy]

How much would he get with one more year? $4 million?

Teams need shot makers.

And he has shown he can be a good defender.

He continues to draw attention, raise eyebrows. Especially w/ stats like this.

If THT can play in the NBA for what, a half dozen years now? Then absolutely Cujo can do NBA. Different size and different types of players, I get that, but Cujo is overall a better player than THT, I think he'll shine.

Whether he should want to get drafted or be free to sign anywhere as a FA, that I don't know. I don't think any team would spend a 1st rounder on him, so there's not much value nowadays in being a 2nd round pick. Might as well be free to sign where the best fit lies. Dare I suggest, the Bulls?

Curtis reminds me a lot of Tyrese. Looks almost casual on the court, but can turn it on and dominate the game when he decides to assert himself. I'm certainly not putting that level of expectation on him, but he has what it takes to play in the league. Helps that he is really good on both ends.

I think the nba comp that Curtis’ agent should be pitching to teams is Malik Beasley. Volume three point scorer off the bench who has a well rounded enough game to get 20+ minutes a night.

This is pretty cool

 

[Cyclonepride]

Curtis did make the all tournament team

I found this interesting. (From the Portsmouth website.)

"Players must certify that they have not been “paid to play” in any basketball game or tournament in accordance with NCAA By-Laws 2-3(I)"

I feel like the nba summer league should be a fun watch this summer.
