Not sure about the Northern CO guy. Could be the type that dominates lesser competition and looks really average vs the Big 12. Hard to tell.
So far I really like the two guys from Stanford, although I think only one has officially entered the portal. Graham Ike would be awesome to have too, although the 5 would become very crowded. Problem is, none of them are post scorers or great rebounders.
They need to aim as high as possible. It’s very likely that the top scorers next season will be transfers. But it’s a really hard thing to navigate. There are so damn many players, from all levels of competition, and players enter the portal at different times. Then you have to consider players who pull their names from the draft. Which are usually the cream of the crop. Do you hold out for those guys and risk missing out on others that are attainable? [Reply]

I find it more surprising that Ish Wainwright is playing 15+ minutes per game for a good NBA team.
AJ Storr leaving St.John’s. The 6’6” guard averaged 8.8 pts/game as a freshman there and shot 40% from behind the arc. KU had offered him a scholarship in 2021. [Reply]

Why is that?
Even some Kansas fans made fun of Ellis for being soft at the college level.
I've learned to be humble about [mostly] my NBA predictions, but Niang at least had an outside game where you could see where he fit on the court.
I didn't really see where Ellis was going to fit. [Reply]
