DG's contract guaranteed for the year

I wonder what people would have said 2 years ago if I would have said that DG would play way more NBA minutes than Royce White. There are your polar opposites of what you can do with opportunities.

I am still waiting for the enviable thread bump. There were at least a few posters adamant DG would be in the NBA.

He endured some dark times for ISU basketball.....so happy to see him get his.

Well done, Diante! Keep it up.

Seemed like he was this board's whipping boy for all four years he was here. Glad to see he can prove a lot wrong and goes to show you how little ANY of us understand about these athletes, despite how much we think we do (me included).

Man oh man, I would of killed to see DG and Brackins in Fred's system for their senior year. I think Brackins might Fred's ideal big man.

They probably would of been a bubble team considering how close they were to winning so many games that year.

Three years, yes.
Senior year, no. We were fawning over DG that year.

I just picture what that team looks like if Brackins stays. Shooters just all over the place.

Good to see. Always liked DG and his game.

Agree. Brackins seems to be exactly what Fred wants in a big guy, and it would be nice to have a post with his length. He is the type of big-time post recruit we need to add to complement Georges. McKay, if he improves his outside game, could be like that imo.
