Korver being way underdrafted isn’t exactly a knock on Dick.
When Korver was drafted (early 2000s, I believe in LeBron's year?), teams rarely shot threes and played a completely different style of inside-out basketball. It's a fair bet he would have been drafted easily in the 1st round today. [Reply]

And conversely, Azubuike probably would’ve been a lottery pick in the 90’s [Reply]

For the last two months he has shot 30% from the 3 pt. line. That one thing he supposedly does exceptionally well hasn’t been so exceptional. [Reply]
Wow, a 13-20 Texas Southern team ranked 328th offensively in the country just made the tournament with a win over Grambling St. I'm sure I can find something about them if necessary though. [Reply]

I already wrote this one for you. Remember. [Reply]

If you've watched Dick all year and are somehow doubting his shot, I don't think we've watched the same player. He has one of the quickest, smoothest releases I've ever seen from anybody ever at this level.
Dick's also going to be completely wide open in the NBA instead of being face guarded/game planned specifically for as he has all B12 season. Those shots are gonna fall. [Reply]

We can argue all day what Gradey will be as a pro. I’ve been critical of him through conference play, but he is GOING TO be a lottery pick. He’s going pro.
What exactly are you arguing? That he should risk injury and come back to maybe move up a handful of spots (if he’s lucky)?
Or are you arguing that he won’t get drafted that high? [Reply]

KU beat them by 32 earlier in the year. They're going to be super motivated for revenge. [Reply]

Man that sucked for about 4 weeks. But did I ever fall into a pile of shit and come out 30 miles down the road so far ahead both career and financially smelling like a rose.
Was stupid thing to do but the path it led me on is one that I’m so ever thankful for. Thanks for reminding me of how lucky I am! [Reply]
