I remember reading a comment saying when all 2021 freshmen were on the floor one game, Podz, when compared to Luke and RJ, looked like he didn't really belong at the B10 level. I didn't agree; I thought, like most freshmen, Podz just needed time. Turned out him deciding to transfer was a genius move. I never thought he was NBA caliber but he proved all the doubters wrong. Just goes to show that the right program can do wonders for a player - and that you never truly know the potential of a player who's perfect fit is a mid-major (i.e. Steph Curry, Gordon Hayward). I mean, he went from scrub minutes for a major B10 program, to a mid-major all-conference his sophomore year and then 1st round NBA draft to a stellar rookie season -- and he plays like he belongs. Just a few years ago he was an incoming freshmen. Weren't his parents upset that he barely featured against Northwestern in 2022 when they were in attendance? Now look at him.

So what's Podz's true level? NBA. It feels odd to say this but his meteoric rise inspires me to do my best at everything I take interest in.

For the first time in his young career (and this late in a season), Ayo has hit the 12.0/per-game point average. His scoring average has been on a steady rising up trend this season. He is settling nicely into The Association. And even though the Bulls have done plenty of things wrong in recent times... drafting and supporting Ayo is just about the best thing that they HAVE done.

I wish I could watch him. The games are always blacked out for me.:cautious:

The Pacers are a fun, young team when Halliburton is healthy. Since coming back from injury, he isn’t quite on the Magic Johnson-esque tear he was on at the beginning of the season, but he’s still probably the best distributing point guard in the League.

Halliburton is a gigantic young talent emerging into one of the biggest stars in the league and yet you could still argue the Pacers lost the trade where they swapped Domantas Sabonis for him.

The league leaders in assists and rebounds, respectively.
