Indy what’s up with all the Utah chatter on their board about it being down to Baylor and themselves on Ray J. Someone feed them bad info.

I literally just too my fat a$$ out and walked 18 holes and carried my bag to burn off some stress for the first time in a decade. I couple booms legit or not help with my stress level! I bleed orange n blue. I think TSJ will be back! Dominos will follow! Id love to meet all of you at the Tumble Inn when they do! I live in Peoria but that would be something!

He’s a mid to late 2nd round guy at best … His agency has been told that it won’t be a guaranteed contract from the super interested teams… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think with RayJ and TJ on board … He’d be crazy to stay in … He saw what happened to Kofi …

But if he does decide to stay in … We’ve got a couple guys we’d go after … I’ve mentioned the top target on here before … And with the perceived “leader” in that recruitment about to take someone at his position … He’s definitely up for grabs …

Honestly. He should probably come back and spend the entire year just working on his vertical.

I could see a role for him off the bench without providing a ton of offense if he was able to provide more rim protection.

So far his camp results make me think of a Draymond style position.
Defense (vg +/-)
Assists
Rebounds

Better vertical would be nice, bit it's far down the list. The biggest issue is decision-making, though I think a competent PG would help immensely there. Also more important to improve shooting, both 3-pt and mid-range than it is to increase vertical leap. But part of that is shot selection and again a good PG would help there.

I see what the previous poster is saying about Draymond Green. Like Green, Hawk does a lot of things well ("stat sheet stuffer"). But Green was an extremely productive player at MSU. His senior year he averaged 16.2 ppg and 10.6 rebounds/game.

You old enough to remember, I think his name was Ollie, playing at the TI?
