BUT he WAS 17 at one point!
Where are you getting your info? Anthony Barber does not ag in the ABA. He's at Sporting CP in Portugal.

Source?
I'm seeing that now too
So confusing
Anyway it looks like Barber played in the ABA for about 3 months, led the league in scoring, then early December 2024 signed with this other team/league in Portugal
I would change a lot to all of them. Not a single one of these X accounts have anything to back their bold statements up with
Joel Goodson
- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
is he a fullback or center back?
He is a 9.
He could also blow his knee or his achilles out and with his already questionable measurements and athleticism....be drafted 58th or not be drafted and playing in Turkey for the foreseeable future.
With the type of money that's flying around, even later in the first round, you don't mess with it. As fans, it's easy to play with roulette with somebody else's money.

Very long way yet to go for the full roster, but if I were to prognosticate Ty adds us just so much flexibility and better than average defense in playing guard or forward that I see him as likely an at worst "6th starter" on our future team getting at least 20mpg almost regardless of who we eventually bring in. Need a physical defensive guard who can crash the boards? Ty. Need someone who can guard a quicker PF that is causing Tomi or Z issues? Ty. Need someone to give your 4 a rest? Ty. He should in theory play a lot this year simply because you can flex him in in multiple positions for multiple players and get matchup value. And that's under the assumption he hasn't found a jumper or a bootyball game yet. If he has? He's likely going to be tough to get off the court.
As for individual players, I actually think he pairs with Storr quite well as Storr takes a lot of shots while pulling defense to him, and that opens up Ty to be a menace on the boards. As well, you're going to need a better defender on the floor to cover Storr's at times defensive uhhhhhh we'll call it ambivalence if not apathy. Sarr's agressiveness and defense I think also plays really with Ty as he attracts a lot of attention, freeing Ty up, and as well, both him and Ty are good off ball movers and cutters and I think both have the vision to find each other for easy buckets. Thiero I think is the toughest pairing with Ty as I think that they could work together on physical, fist fight, crash the boards type team, but to play them together, you almost have to play Ty exclusively as guard, which is fine but I'd see that cutting down on his possible playing time. Those are my thoughts, but I see Ty being a very big part of our team next year.
Kansas Basketball Adds Illinois Transfer Tre White
On Saturday, Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks made a splash addition in the transfer portal with the commitment of Illinois transfer Tre White. White, a 6-foot-7 guard from Dallas, Texas, has been at a different college each season of college basketball, and Kansas will mark his fourth college...

It's also generational type money that comes with a multi year contract. He can deal with playing basketball and the 6 month "grind". Plus, that's a real job? Are you kidding? MOST people will be up before 6AM tomorrow morning, getting ready for a "real job, and they'll be doing that 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month and 12 months a year.
It sounds crazy(especially for the young people on this board), but 2M isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, especially at 18.
If he has a major injury at the SFC, playing Eastern Illinois, that free campus living is going to be a ridiculous rationale and then his real job will either be in Turkey or China, then behind a desk.

He could come back one year, which is actually his normal matriculation class and be stronger and more skilled. Now he is looking at Lottery potential.
Plus, I guess the rumor is that Terrence came back and told the players do not commit to the NBA only to end up in the G League. He basically said the G League sucks.
