hahahahaha LMAO


Barrett just misses wide open dudes at times. Like he has great moments. But then does some dumb ****. That your like "dude your teammate was wide open."

I know he's young. And it's tough to say these from outside looking in. Even T-Mac would given these up. Or at least take a jumper before getting into crowds of players.

Who were the 4 voters who didn't vote for Zion as player of the year. Like really who did they vote for? lol

Re: NBA Draft 2019

5 people didn't vote for him.

Freshman teammate RJ Barrett earned two votes as a fellow AP first-team All-American, while Virginia's De'Andre Hunter, Michigan State's Cassius Winston and Murray State's Ja Morant each earned one vote.

Thanks!!

Who would you have voted for? I thought RJ would of been one of the people. Just because he carried them for 5 games there (they went 3-2). But 3-2 ain't all that lol

Also I think the above video clips hit on what either Ehh or Yeah that guy have been saying. RJ Barrett ain't that good. He's definitely the second or third best player. But Zion is just that unique. It's hard for anyone catch up to him.

Re: NBA Draft 2019

It’s a little early but Deandre hunter on the hawks makes a lot of sense. Especially if Prince is traded this offseason.

Everyone enjoying the "Culver's stock is taking a huge hit!" and "Hunter's stock is shooting up!" takes this morning?

It's so annoying. I think both could fit in the NBA. Both are 10 ten picks. And Culver just faced the best defender in College basketball. I think people are getting a little ahead of themselves.

23, was saying he's trash in the college thread. But I'm damn... dude did take some bad shoots. But who else was going to take them. Both teams were playing outstanding defense. Most of that game both teams were forced into bad shots because the shot clock ran down.

I think Hunter is an immediate rotation player in the NBA. Culver might need a little development. But he's solid. Could be a star. Could be another rotation player. That's the fun part about the draft lol. You don't know.

I missed the first half due to a rec league game but why in the world was TT isoing Culver so much in the second half? They abandoned their Culver PnR. Was UVA trapping it in the first half or doing something else to completely shut it down?

Culver's shot selection wasn't great the last couple games but he was taking a lot of forced bail out shots. Still liked his vision, patience, and pace. I am certain that Barrett will be taken over him though; I think he's going 4th at the highest.

His defensive screw up at the end of regulation has to be killing TT's coach. Culver was caught in no man's land--he decided to help on the Jerome drive but he was too late for it to matter anyway--and left Hunter wide open for the tying three. If he stays home on Hunter and lets Jerome have the easy deuce then Texas Tech is probably the national champion right now.

Virginia absolutely clamped down on the PnR. TTU didn’t even make a 2 point attempt until like 10+ minutes into the game.

I couldn’t help but wonder how Culver and Hunter would look if they swapped teams. Virginia might be boring to some but their offensive sets, defensive rotations, and rebounding strategy are all just beautiful to watch.

The bold is a good question. After Francis and Edwards went off in the second part of the first half. I thought they were killing them. But the second half it seem like they got impatient once UVA got the lead. And they seem to be rushing their offense. So the head coach was willing to do anything to relax his guys instead of wasting shot clock and getting these shots up with the shot clock against them. Because their base stuff just wasn't sharp. They were getting stops. Just not convert them into points. I'm on the fence. Culver did get some fouls and to the FT. He took some bad shots. But scored on some nice ones. So again. I don't know what esle could of been done. You want to get your star player going when things look bad.

Bad read (Culver) on Pick and Slip (or force whatever you want to call it)

This is on back to back iso's with Culver getting Mooney and Edwards either attacking close outs or open 3's

This ties the game up (another iso) Defender BS flops. And Culver gets a open lane.

After all that. Being down one. with 42 seconds left. Where do you go? Back to the offense. Or go to your best player? Yeah, feed him the ball. Left hand finish like that...

Defensive breakdown... I think the person to blame here is Odiase.. Or maybe the coach didn't talk to them. Let them shoot the 2.

Re: NBA Draft 2019

So Barrett and PJ are in. Tre Jones is staying at Duke. No word on Cam,Zion, Culver, Hachimura, or Hunter.

[ehh]

Re: NBA Draft 2019

Cam was sitting courtside with Rich Paul at a Lakers game the other night. I'm guessing he's gone.

OH really? Then yeah he done lol

Re: NBA Draft 2019

All these Lakers fans wanting the team to draft Bol Bol is giving me a headache. With everything thing that going on, you want to bring a player with a super high bust potential? Outstanding.
