He is declaring, but Tominaga is going about entering the draft in the way players do that would allow them to return to Nebraska basketball if he decided he didn’t like what he was being told by NBA Scouts.

I wish him well, but I sure hope he ends up returning next season. That guy makes watching NU basketball fun.

While I love watching him play, and wish him nothing but success....no way he ever makes an NBA roster. Too small and too much of a defensive liability unfortunately for the NBA.

Do they defend in the NBA?

Teams average 114.2 ppg

“NBA teams have drastically improved their scoring over the past few decades. In the 2022-23 season, teams are scoring 114.2 points per game, which is the ninth-highest mark in the history of the league.”

longer game, shorter shot clock, higher FG%

yes, they defend. every poster here combined would score zero points in an NBA game. probably wouldn't even get a shot to the rim.

I think Kesei's future lies in his home country, but would be nice to have him back for another year

Well higher FG%, is usually a pretty good indicator of ****** defense. As for whether we could score in the NBA, I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. Most posters would get carried off an NFL field on a stretcher, most posters couldn’t get a hit off a MLB pitcher, and posters without a medical degree specializing in Neurology could not perform an Anterior Cervical Disectomy.

or.. and please hear me out.. it's an indicator of professional hoopsters who eat/sleep/breathe shotmaking

Yes they do. And they can all shoot better than ever. He would get dominated by guys off the end of the bench in the NBA.

There’s a lot of guys on NBA teams who can’t shoot worth a damn. Those guys though aren’t normally taking many jump shots during a game. I kind of gave up watching much NBA during the BLM crap. The traveling and mugging that go are hard for me to watch the little bit I’ve watched the playoffs lately. Steph Curry is fun to watch though. I rarely see him travel.

I have recently watched a couple of games and what I see is great passing vs slower rotating defense leading to open threes. If the shot misses the block outs are terrible and the offense gets an easy put back. Almost guaranteed 50% FG minimum on about 2/3 of full possesions.

All true.
Watching basketball on TV or from the stands offers an illusory view.
It's not what it appears.
The first time I used the company tickets on the front row it was NU vs UNO of all teams.
Not only were they taller, but also much bigger than I thought.
Quick? Pretty sure not only would I not score but any attempt would have ended up with the ball smashed in face. TV just makes things look so easy.
I remember a time when a K-st player said (after a drubbing) that Tommie Frazier was the quickest human being he'd ever seen. Some film at field level I saw of Frazier running the ball just blew me away. The TV view looked like he was just running a keeper. The field view looked like a cartoon character moving in every direction at once. I don't know how anyone could take an angle. It looked impossible.
