It's weird. It's almost as if it's an exhibition game.

So, Podz, ex-Wisc. highschool player of the year, transfers from Illini to mid-major to prove himself, becomes a star, is drafted, and is one of the top rookies in the league. Marcus Domask, ex-Wisc. highschool player of the year, transfers to Illini from mid-major to prove himself against top competition, becomes a star; why isn't he on any draftboards?Whoa. Pass that stuff around guy.
I hope Podz does well. He is certainly putting in the effort. I would not say he was there, or even in the vicinity yet. He benefiting greatly from the system he is playing in. Podz is shooting well, getting a lot of wide open looks. He is hitting the glass (impressively) hard. I can also get behind the rising comment. His defense at the start of the season was cringeworthy. Teams were running screens to generate 1:1 plays against him almost every trip down the court. There is no where to go but up. Way up. His defense has improved to a rating of below average. If Podz can fix those defensive mistakes, the Warriors are a contender.

Domask's entire game is built around exploiting the fact that college defenders aren't that good, and especially are inexperienced and jumpy in guarding the lane.Domask is 2 or 3 years older than Podz. He’s also about 3 inches too short for his game to translate to today’s NBA.
Glad to see him succeed somewhere. Sad his back troubles never let him get a clean shot at the court.Looks like Hutch has chosen real estate over basketball…
He can drink starting today.Just saw Podz get a Happy Birthday shoutout on PTI. Who would have thunk.
Podz wasn't born when that show debutedJust saw Podz get a Happy Birthday shoutout on PTI. Who would have thunk.

I hope he becomes Dan Majerle and not Jeremy Lin. Pods could not even get Santa Clara to the NCAA tournament. It will be truly amazing if he can stay an NBA starter.On the last Bill Simmons pod they had a real discussion on if his ceiling is an all star and Simmons said he thinks he can be a starter on a championship winning team. They compared him to Goran Dragic.
That's really been happening for Ayo over the last month or so, he is emerging as a scorer and playmaker in the half court. That contract is an incredible bargain for the Bulls.Glad to see Ayo have a couple great games and get a nice contract 3 year $21M. Unfortunately that is not starters money.
JMO - he seems to be same player he was as rookie albeit slightly better 3 pt shooting. Plays tough D. Stands in corner while team plays iso-ball. Has to improve to next level. AYO
