He’s also a heck of a competitor, which was always the big knock on Wiggins, who tended to float in and out of games in the NBA. A will to compete is one of those attributes that is too often overlooked. Same thing can be said of Boozer: the kid competes and has a will to win.

Agreed, the 3-pointers are the cherry on the sundae. I want to see Ivisic do more of what we saw during Iowa. If the standard offense gets stale or has stalled out, be more willing to immediately go to Ivisic down low and let him work for a shot or make the smart pass out for an open look (I...

Imo, it's less about seeing what Wemby can do and wanting to find a cheap replicate and more about realizing that in order to win a title you'll need somebody that can do at least a half-decent job defending the guy. Whether or not the Spurs win it all this year, it's clear (barring injury) that...

Man, that run of guys after Valanciunas and before Fox is all-time-level bad. Hezonja and Robinson alone have to be on the top 5-10 list for worst #5 picks of all time.

I’m sure I’m missing something here but this reads like you answered your question.

Not only a fancy job, but he’s Rich too

I think UConn just did that in ‘23 and ‘24. Those were “all timers” — dominant teams that had enough carryover to be viewed singularly. Not ‘06/‘07 Florida carryover, but enough of the main rotation stayed imo.

Is Ty really still that bad on offense? I’m genuinely curious (especially what the insiders have to say re: practice). It’s been two years since we’ve seen him in game. I recall Mirk (near end of the season) lamenting being matched up in a shooting drill with Ty and two others (maybe Davis, one...

Thanks Grandpa.

In fairness to Drej, he knows his 3 pointer isn’t all that great. He only really took open shots from the corner. He needs to improve his form and the little hitch in his long ball to be improved shooting from range.

Well this is rather confusing.

The problem here is they also need to be a shooter, as Brad has shown how much he values having guys that can hit on kick outs. A guy that can’t shoot isn’t going to play much. And putting together those 3 traits (shooting, passing, defense) makes for what is usually a decently highly valued...

It’s fun, both for basketball fans and for big men themselves, that the college game has this very different evolution than the NBA. If you’re a premium big on the cusp of the NBA vs. a guard, the relative reward for coming back seems to be even higher than other positions.

Rage bait.
