James Young sucks so much
Fuck basketball. Every time we get ahead we breakdown. Fucking fuck.
I think he will be fine. No zones and shooters keeping NBA defenses honest will give him more room to operate than in college.
6-9. Just has short arms.

You got beef, bruh?
Listed at 6'9" so only an inch on Wiggins, but probably only 6'7.5" without shoes considering his wingspan is only 6'11".
And I think he will be fine I the NBA, very good even, but Wiggins is a freak genetically. He has the opportunity to be a great.

It's still hard to fathom that those shirts existed.
Nothing you can't work with a little creative editing and imagination.
e: Oof. That miss is gonna come back to haunt them.
Duke didn't make those shirts, but that talk was definitely there for the 10-11 season among fans. Serious talk
6'9 in the box score, which means like 6'8.25 or so in reality. Basically average NBA PF size these days.
People always toss the tweener label around for all PFs who are 6'8-6'9, but it's wrong.
The problem with tweeners are 6'8 pfs who float around on the perimeter. Julius does not, he is a paint beast.

Unless he grows he's going to be fucking terrible in the NBA. He has almost no translatable skills at all beyond rebounding. He's a tweener. Super strong guy at the college level but his strength is just average in NBA terms.
Wiggins? Hard to say. I think he'll be like Harrison Barnes. His handle isn't equal to his physical attributes so it's mostly underutilized.

BANK!
Thats what I've grown to dislike about the new age NBA. Bunch of 6'9-7'0 position-less guys who can stroke js from anywhere. To be fair, there is less ISO now, but it seems so homogeneous.

15 SG Luke Kennard will make his college selection tomorrow night at Franklin HS at 7:45 PM. Ohio State, Duke, Kentucky?

Luke Kennard just told me - "I think people will be surprised. I've been leaning this way for a while." Uh oh!
hmmmmm

They would've definitely lost even with Kyrie (every road game in the ACC is a trap, doesn't matter if its Chapel Hill or College Park) but I think they could've went 32-2/31-3 through the ACCT.
They only lost 5 games total that year.
surprised? not duke then.

Would have to be Duke, only place he took a visit to.
This to me is such a laughable concept (not directed at you). But this is supposed to be such a great draft and the best player is going to by a bench player who averages 10 pts a game (who himself was supposed to the one of the best freshman BB players ever)?
Give me a break. I'm supposed to watch that product?

OK, Ive been wondering, is there some new funky shoe that the Cats are wearing because some of them look green to me. Could be my old ass eyes thopugh.
oh really? well yeah Duke then.

Back to the walking dead thread with you.

Officially.
He's taken unofficials to plenty of places (IU, Michigan,OSU). He's taken six unofficials to Kentucky and that was the team everyone thought he was going to up until a month ago.
Duke. He was a UK lean for a while, but then everyone felt he swayed to Duke after his official visit. Damn shame for us to lose him, but oh well.

Well first of all Jabari should go #1 for a number of reasons.
And he'd be drafted based completely on his potential, not what he did as a freshman.
The NBA talent is unbelievable. It's biggest issues are the refs. Too many touch fouls in the league not letting the talent get shown off. As for the lack of emphasis on post offense--its mostly because defenses are so athletic now that it's super easy to double guys inside and recover in time on shooters.
Randle should be attacking the rim every possession. They got nothin for him.

Gonna be a great finish.
Unless the refs screw it up.

Yeah if I had to rank his top 5 it would probably look like this...
1. Duke
2. Kentucky
3. OSU
4. Michigan
5. Gata
Everyone on TDD seems to say Duke, though a couple say UK is in the mix.
With Allen and Plumlee will be a senior, that will be 3 whiteys, and balance will be restored to the force.

If he goes to Duke, that means we'll probably have Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard on the same team.
