You asked what it means so I explained it. Not sure how anything in your post could be considered a joke.
Cole Anthony out indefinitely.
- Thread starter Joerupp
- Start date
That’s brilliant actually. Start a related thread so we can talk about it but not a direct game thread so as to avoid the curse.
That would be a 4 seed for North Carolina , lol.
Cole Anthony might want to take a look at what his usage will be on this UNC team, which is very weak outside of him, and decide just how important it is for him to play 3 more months for free.
Even WITH Anthony, they don't look like they have the pieces to contend, and if you're Anthony, what's the point? He proved to be worth a top5 pick if he never played another minute.

Maybe they’ll have a **** season with no post season except the CBI and we can count that as the punishment the NCAA never gave em.
A losing record sure would be fun.

So far they are without Bacot, Anthony, Black and Manley (for the season). If Anthony and Bacot do not come back, they will not make the tournament.
My bad, I didn't know Bacot was back.

and somehow Joey Brackets will have them as a 3 seed and maybe a 2 if they win a game in the ACC tourney.
Granted the NBA drafts on potential but I haven't really seen enough from him to use a top 5 pick. He is averaging 19 PPG but shooting 17 shots and 6 free throws per game to do it. He is only shooting 35% from the field and 65% from the free throw line. Ashton is averaging 5 less points but shoots 8 less shots and 1 less free throw per game while shooting 50% from the field and 88% from the free throw line and almost double the assist per game as Anthony 7.00 to 3.6.
I hope he gets well soon. As far as UNC, no one cares about how injuries affect UK, so the same standard should apply to UNC. I saw where the ESPN headline screamed DEPLETED UNC loses. You can only laugh.
The draft this year could end up historically bad.
We all know the NBA drafts mainly on potential now, but how many guys who go on to prove themselves worthy of top 5 picks didn't really produce, or were wildly inefficient, in college? Even someone like Jaren Jackson, who played limited minutes in college, did a lot of positive things with those minutes. And beyond that, even a lot of guys who are really productive in college don't translate to the pros.
Wiseman, Edwards, Anthony, Lamelo Ball, RJ Hampton, Nico Mannion, Jaden McDaniels- none of them seems like a cornerstone for a struggling franchise to me. If I'm an NBA GM, I trade out of the top 5 and reach for a Euro player with big upside, or settle for a guy with the potential to be a solid role player.
Edwards to Golden State would probably be solid, since he could be mentored by Curry and Thompson, and work into an established culture, but beyond that, I don't see a situation where any of the guys being projected near the top is going to turn a bad team around. Not even in 3 years. And the 2021 class looks waaaaaaaaaaay better to me.
Fraschilla said that NBA connections he has have indicated that this draft will end up having a lot of Euro picks, because the draft is so weak.
