    NBA Combine Measurements, Results, Early Entrants

    I’ve always thought that was really dumb, though. it isn’t like the truth isn’t going to come out…plus, you’d think the truth would actually be helpful because if you are abusing opponents at 5’10, it speaks even more to your skills or attributes like quickness, etc.

    Am I the only one who wants to see Jordan Burkes back in blue?

    I mean, I would not mind seeing him back in Lexington, but he is no way a backup 5. He is way more of a 3/4 than a 4/5. Pope would STILL need to find another 5 to pair with Kepnang.

    76 team format for NCAAT in 26-27 season

    If they were going to expand it again, adding 6 play in games/12 play in teams is stupid... so, 2 brackets have 3 play in teams, and 2 have 2 play in teams... At least make it even.... either 2 or 3 play in teams per bracket. Regardless, expanding it was stupid anyway from a fan perspective...

    Do you agree?

    Agree, and I don't know if either or both would be realistic options, but the more I look at them, the more I think I would lean to adding Graves for a few reasons: This roster still lacks a little beef in the front court. So, he gives another solid body down low for post defense and...

    Do you agree?

    I think it depends on which position you feel best about for the current roster. SF: Kam/Hawthorne - does the coaching staff think they are ready to take major leaps forward PF: McBride/N'Diaye - Is this position really good, or is it potentially a weakness? I think Momcilovic is probably the...

    Kepnang spikes Yaxel

    In his highlights, he looks like everything I kinda thought we were getting from Mo Diabate…I appreciate Mo’s effort while he was on the floor, and their styles of play with intensity, physicality, etc are similar. However, Kepnang’s extra size seems like he will be more of what the team needed...

    Serbian Pavle Backo - Backup Center

    Yeah, he would be a major pass from me…he appears to have modest offensive skills (but even those may not be great against longer, athletic defenders), but he would be a complete and total liability on defense. If I am building a roster, I want the least amount of players possible at ANY...

    Jean Montero

    yeah, hype videos are mostly just that... hype. However, there are some things that translate no matter the setting... his quickness & ball handling are impressive, and both the quickness and high release of his shot translate well to getting off his shot regardless of competition. Also, hype...

    OT: FB Marrow

    To my knowledge, autocorrect is for misspelling and/or grammar not writing things that are completely incoherent. He needs an english remediation course not autocorrect

    John Wall Named President of Basketball Operations at Howard

    Don't know for sure if he finished or not, but according to several articles, he went back to school after his NBA career. Wall going back to finish degree

    Pope Flying to Israel

    Yeah, he uses his size well... I was impressed that he's strong enough to bang, but has plenty of bounce to play above the rim. He is the same size as Carey from TN, but he seems to play above the rim way more than Carey could. Plus, unlike Carey, Santos can shoot more than 3 ft from the goal...

    Pope Flying to Israel

    To me, this guy seems like a potential backup for the 5 (and possibly the 4)... defensively, his height concerns me at only 6'8, but he is listed at 260lbs, and in his highlights, even at that weight, he plays above the rim. Plus, he's a good shooter, and in his highlights, he makes some great...

    Stefan Joksimovic

    Someone may have said it already, but if he's that young, won't he have to play 2 years in college to be age eligible for the NBA? So, IF he ends up being a star, he would be a 2 year player, right?

    A question to the UK fans that are remaining calm

    The 2024-2025 season, I think the results were not horrible given the injury situation... I know some say that injuries are part of the game, but no coach can plan for losing your top 3 PGs or a significant portion of the season (2 never returned, 1 returned playing injured), injured starting...
