    NBA Draft

    He's looking like a legit NBA player for sure. I've always thought his game translates more to the NBA than college. His ability to guard all positions is going to be a massive asset in a league that is built on hunting the mismatch.

    Totally different. We added complimentary parts to known quantities (top 5 player in the country in TSJ, All B1G CH, plus Ty, Goode and Dain). Domask, QG & Harmon were great additions obviously. This year we have zero top tier known quantities so I think it’s fair to have a lot of questions. I...

    Yeah but....please tell me this isn't the "stud" wing we're after. Seems pretty underwhelming.

    They're ranked 2nd overall & 1st in the B1G. I like our coach way better, but as much as I hate to say it IU is doing work in the portal.

    Bruh....I get what you're saying but they've got 2 top-10 draft picks & 4 first-rounders & are in the convo for one of the greatest teams/seasons ever. Their greatest weapon was that they had A LOT of NBA-level players. Not the same thing as having several good, complimentary pieces like next...

    I’m cracking up at the “Egor wasn’t really that good” reaction now. Just a minute ago he was a future lottery pick. 😂😂 Right now this team is a bunch of really good complimentary parts that still needs “the guy.” I don’t see a lot of alpha possibilities but what do I know. With regards to the...

    I’m actually here for the hot-takes, hyperbole, and wild overreactions. This year has been exceptionally riveting on both sides. Throw in a couple of rebukes for expressing an opinion and it just doesn’t get any better. Love it all.

    For the 938th time, it worked out primarily b/c of excellent coaching adjustment but that doesn't mean the concern wasn't justified. It's like if you dare question anything you're a hater. That's just dumb.

    That's one of the great back-handed compliments of all time!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I think it was a combo of underestimating Domask's overall ability and an exceptional job coaching. Even with the defensive struggles late in the year, which I think had a lot to do with pace-of-play but that's...

    I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm & your reports are definitely on the optimistic side, which I appreciate. Having said that, a couple of points on your comment: 1) There was a ton of angst about the PG position and it certainly worked out, but you have to admit that the concern was...
