    Your opinion that we had the third best chance to win it doesn’t hold any weight unfortunately. Thats fine to believe that though. IMO we made it to the elite 8 because of the big 3, and more importantly having a top 10 college player going on a heater. Ty is a great guy to have on your team...

    Hyperbole? Did you watch them play this year? Either you didn’t or you need to get your eyes checked. We played 4 vs 5 on offense many times because he can’t shoot the ball. I love the dudes hustle and athleticism, like someone else noted. The guy is a complete liability in many matchups though.

    I love Ty, but he killed us in multiple games. If you want to be a title contender you can’t start a guy with his limitations IMO. I don’t believe he will be starting this go around.

    Brea might be the best 3 point bomber in CBB. Pull him, someone like David Jones that can carry an offense, and a big body center. We would be cooking again.

    Not even bald head ref can prevent this basketball brilliance.

    I can tell that you have never seen Domask play. Let’s just say I live 5 minutes from the arena in Cdale. Way way off IMO. Domask is such a solid player though. Good passer. Very good addition overall.

    I was hoping Podz would stay. I’m glad he found success and is in the league. That said, I’m sure the Warriors, along with many other teams in the lottery, will regret not taking Cam Whitmore. He looks like a player.

    Plummer, despite his evident flaws, was one of the best portal pickups of last year. A hired gun hand that you try to hide on defense. I’m fairly certain the coaches are aware that the team needs some veteran leadership and stability. Hang tight.

    How do we feel about Jones 3pt shooting? Looks like he shot it at 29% last year. Just curious if we would have enough shooters in the lineup. 3 would be very good and 4 would be ideal IMO. I’m a big fan of having shooters galore. He does look very talented in other regards though.
