Yes it is,This guy is a good get,big time pick up
Part of my Pope needs to go international idea.

These US kids think he's a dope and play the channels. His dopiness, like Underwood, likely translates better with internationals. Underwood is pulling out water pistols in the locker room. US kids are all about social media and doing the cool thing - and that's not playing for Pope. These kids will just be happy to get some bucks to play a sport, buy into the brand.

You only know UK was going after him because someone told you they were. You have no clue what schools were or were not looking at this guy.
I never heard of this player before today. I can also tell from that clip alone that this kid has talent. He is good sized, quick and has a great looking shot for a 6’11 player. If he’s hungry to learn and grow, we are getting an NBA player.

So you are super up to speed on Italy basketball? This dude isn’t even eligible and a guy nobody else was going after.

Forgive me if I don’t praise Pope for this one yet.

Just curious, where do you see that he isn't eligible or wouldn't be after the onslaught of Int'l players in the last few years?

You people knew literally nothing about this guy an hour ago and now he's getting Nowitski and Bird comparisons. Some of you would convince yourself that just about anyone is a savior. So who else was after this guy?
Nobody knows anything about anybody, except a few guys they saw play in a couple of games last year. What’s your point dumb ***?

Just so we're on the same page this kid plays in the top Italy league. Much different than comparing tape against Detroit Mercy or some Overtime Elite high school game. Some of the better American players over there right now are Carsen Edwards, Nico Mannion, and Denzel Valentine. Guys in the prime of their career who have all played in the NBA. For reference Nate Sestina averages 3 points a game in that league. This kid led his team in rebounds, 2nd in minutes, and 3rd in points.

This is a long athletic 4 who rebounds, defends and can shoot. There are holes in his game, otherwise he'd already be in the NBA, but I see 0 reason we shouldn't be excited about this addition. He's better than Jelavic and much more skilled than Dioubate.

Just my opinion, but not the time for doom and gloom

You freaking moron. How pathetically stupid are you? I was talking about that one fade away move. Good lord this place is getting dumber by the day.
