Kuminga visit

[caneintally]

Just my gut.

I think Banchero is the guy that Boston was talking about as the big man secret commit and I think if we get Cunningham, Brown will follow.

I think it is somewhat obvious it is I.Jackson . But if I am right we will know in a week or so . If he doesn't sign in the next 14 days or so then it wasn't him . I do think Banchero will be part of this class or the next for sure though as he is a Cat thru and thru. But we are closing the fall period with Jackson and Cade IMO since Askew can't sign. Having 7 guys like that in the fall leads basically 2 spots in the spring for 2 bigs out of Brown , Kuminga and Banchero . I think Brown and Banchero will be the 2.

He's better then Ben Simmons was at same stage. Right now Kuminga's brute strength would give him issues and best thing is Emoni knows this. I coached a player whose father grew up with EJ Bates so I've known about Emoni for some time now. They have a plan and respect how they go about things.

They kept him down at his age group for a reason, but Kuminga is out there killing the elite guys, you can't dismiss that. I mean he dropped 40+ on Cunningham/Brown and absolutely embarrassed Jalen Johnson. Emoni's a special talent and no doubt will live up to the hype, but busting 15 yr old's asses isn't the same as dominating the alphas of '20.

I look forward to seeing just how good Bates can become in his 20s. Right now he looks like he can be a genuine phenomenon.

Absolutely believe he'll be as expected in part to how he's being brought up. I like how they've handled him and he's a special talent. My point is you can't diminish what a player has actually done (Kuminga) based on what we expect someone to do. Bates has lived up to everything expected and more, but it's not crazy to say Kuminga has been best prospect in '19/'20/'21.

Lol you obviously don’t know talent.

I don't think you'll find too many to agree with your assessment that Simmons is a transcendent once in a generation talent. It took me a while to agree to that label for AD, and I'm sure as hell not going to apply that label to any player with a busted jump shot.

I know you've liked him as the best for some time.

You can't call a dude that can't shoot (Ben Simmons) a generational talent.
