And then in games. Legion was likely in more than a few mocks.

I mean, there’s questionable, but that must be a cut and paste error from our roster??

Meaning he was a practice all star?
No he was terrible in practice. Hence why he didn't play.... @pruman91 could have scored on him.

I feel like a lot of our hype rests on getting Nance, who is also far from an unknown. Nance and Shannon alone will be two players nearly every team in the conference would take as a starter, and then you add in a (relatively proven) Hawkins and Melendez, plus a 5-star PG … I guess I get why pundits are waiting, but it’s far from just homerism to proclaim that they’re dead wrong. Again, IF we get Nance.

Well, Pru scores at a pretty high clip. So maybe not the best comp.

I'm not sure why anyone would do a preseason ranking based on the prospect of a guy who's put his name in the NBA draft dropping out of the draft and signing with us. So that's my point. What IF Nance goes elsewhere?
I know my hopes for the season will be dramatically improved if we get Nance.
We have fans who think that Hawkins is better than Nance going into this season. The guys making these rankings are a bit more rational.

Haha, one would hope, but the rest of the mock is pretty rough too so it must be somebody who is following recruiting rankings/buzz and not much else. They had Khristian Lander at 44, after he'd averaged a whopping 2.1 ppg and 25% fg as a freshman. And they had Daishen Nix at 46 even though he had gone pro (undrafted) several months before this mock was posted. So methinks it's just somebody who is a combination of lazy and uninformed

Lol. Nance has gotten some mixed reviews from scouts. Interesting to see what he does. Has been told 2nd round by a couple teams.Back to the drawing board on this again. Just too well connected and it’s been slow around here! We need more speculation!
Pru scores at a *high* clip

Post of the day! I'd love to get Nance, but I think the chances of that happening are well below 50%. Just hope we add some decent PF/C as I don't think only Hawk and Dain is enough. Seems unlikely both are able to play 30 or more min/game. (even though I'm sure we'll go small at the 4 at times).
