Ahhhh - I admittedly didn't catch the KSU game. I apologize, I should know by now to assume the worst when it comes to Bruce.
Even as a KU fan, it pisses me off to watch such a talented player standing vacantly at the wing for such a large percentage of the offensive gameplan. [Reply]

Right on.
I can appreciate Wade. It’s obvious he works hard. And it’s absolutely abysmal how they use him. [Reply]
Just randomness, since people have seemed to declare the Big 12 the best conference in basketball for the last....decade(?)
Since 2000 (17 years), the ACC has 7 national titles. That doesn't include Syracuse and Louisville, who are now in the ACC but werent when they won theirs. 9 of the last 17 champions. Seems like some SEC football shit. [Reply]

Well... of those 7 titles, 6 are between Duke and UNC, and then Maryland had one in 2001. Outside of those 2 CBB giants, rest of the ACC has been mostly trash.
Hard to say...from top to bottom Big12 has had the better teams.
Problem is, they never show up in March when it counts. Other than Kansas and OU had a FF sprinkled in there. [Reply]

Handlers? Does he think this guy is Joel Embiid? :-)
Udoka does absolutely nothing at a NBA level. Just a pitiful rebounder for someone his size (side note: it was nice to actually have somebody who would fight and grab loose balls today in De Sousa, was a noticeable difference from Udoka). He's not getting drafted this year and would be crazy to leave. [Reply]

Pretty much this.
I've been sadly amazed at how poor of a rebounder he is for someone his size. He's really a one trick pony down low (catch ball/dunk ball), def not ready for the NBA...by any measure lol. [Reply]

He's a good post-up scorer at the college level. That's it. That's all he does.
The NBA isn't looking for post-up scorers these days and they are especially not looking for post-up scorers who can easily be neutralized by fouling, aren't mobile enough to switch on to guards, and don't rebound well for their size. [Reply]

he definitely needs another year, at least. So does Newman. Every mock draft I’ve looked at only Svi and Graham are drafted. [Reply]
