Dude.......pruman91 is a kiddin ya !!! There's more than enough for everybody.......HEAD's up.....................
I still think it’s highly unlikely but possible with NIL. No one knows how crazy this might get. I have to believe if Kofi does indeed come back, he’s going to make a lot of money this year.

Kofi's gonna rake. That said, first round money > NIL money.
True. But NIL money > G League/most Europe Money

Yeah, I wasn't exactly clear, lol. My bad. Was referring to Curbelo staying. No chance if he's a first rounder, IMO.
Or Kofi on the block for a dunk.

If he's in. Free throw improvement is a must, or it's Hack a Shaq again.

Or hang on his arm ineffectually time again.
Me: moves to Cincinnati
Illinois basketball: “bet”
I will be interested to see how his outside shot looks this year. Attacks the paint well and has that short jumper down. If he makes the outside shot consistently than I could see him gone after this year.
Is it the new NBA? Because Dee Brown was better than Curbelo and they are both listed at 6’1”
I saw them both many times, I have never seen Illinois have a guard like Curbelo, and I was a big Dee fan.

lol
Dee wasn't really a PG. Curbelo does stuff hardly anyone does. Routinely. The only thing missing is his outside shot.
I don't disagree with you at all. Curbelo has also not started any games
Getting drafted into the NBA doesn't mean you have to have a proven track record or be an upperclassmen either. Unless Curbelo comes up with an amazing outside game I see him staying around. Guys look at Steve Nash and remember him being smaller. He was also 6'3" and could shoot. Curbelo has already shown flashes of being a star at the collegiate level......not sure what it holds after that

I will wager Curbelo won’t have the NCAA career Dee had, but he undoubtedly will have a better NBA career. Think he can carve out a 10-year+ career in the league.
Love what Curbelo did last year, but all this NBA talk after his sophomore year seems a bit premature.I don't disagree with you at all. Curbelo has also not started any games

Just a thought.. no? That list is that list regardless if Kofi comes back or not.. UK is in the interchangeable spot. Even if Kofi ends up at say FSU, UK is still their for poaching our coaches.. so yah? No..
Sounds Goode.

I agree, just enjoy Curbello and see what happens. A well controll Curbello who reduces TO and can hit 3's will be on the NBA radar. I can't speak to his defensive abilities. Would hate for all the hype and expecrations to lead to a sophomore slump. Hopefully his big target returns on Friday.

The staff would disagree
And apparently the NBA scouts as well. I just don’t see it though. Maybe if he can hit 30%+ from 3.
