Noticed the chief in one frame of the crowd at the 4-second mark of the longer video, I knew deep down in my heart he wasn't gone, just somewhere else (for now... :unsure:)

Is it crazy to say Vaaks and Coleman are 2 of the top 4 guards Brad has had in terms of shooting ability?

1. Plummer
2. Keaton
3. Vaaks
4. Coleman
Plummer hit .408 on 98 of 240 3pt shots in '21-22, but had 35 assists to 43 TO's and went undrafted
Wagler hit .397 on 87 of 219 3pt shots '25-26 but also had 157 assists to 66 TO's (and was a deservedly #5 lottery pick)
Vaaks could possibly outshoot them both and also get lots of assists and be a 1st round pick.
BTW, Jake Davis shot .406 from 3pt in '25-26 and was our 'Plummer' sharpshooter off the bench.
