Our roster right now is absolutely talented enough to be a championship team (if everyone is healthy). I Believe. As much as I'd like to trade Vassell / Keldon / Sochan for future draft picks, if we are serious about the playoffs then we'll need them for depth. What we really need is for...

3-7 is now eliminated (along with one poster's guess)... somehow my 10-0 vote doesn't seem so crazy

Manu coming off the bench worked in much the same way I advocate for Fox / Castle / Harper each getting 32 minutes at PG/SG... We always had 2 of the "Big 3" in the game at any time. There was no letting up. It wasn't just Manu versus the opposing 2nd unit. Manu career-averaged 25.4mpg. He...

I still think Fox / Castle / Harper all need to split the minutes at PG/SG (32 minutes each). Keep 2 on the floor at all times. I don't know what that does to Vassell because he and Keldon are both playing better than I expected so far (that's a low bar)

Seeing this thread made me to go TaT to see who might be available around the end of the first round... saw a name that was very familiar: Yaxel Lendeborg. I was interested in trading down from 14 or trading up from our 2nd round pick to get this guy last year before he pulled out of the draft...

2-8 is now eliminated

0-10 and 1-9 results have been eliminated.

I was ready to write Vassell off. He's actually trying on defense and that makes him a very valuable player to our team to manage minutes if we have random injuries. But, if our team is healthy and Vassell is playing well, I would see it as a perfect opportunity to unload his contract and even...

ahh, ok.... nevermind then

I'm not a sniffer, but I am deliriously optimistic. This record would include playoffs, correct? 4 rounds of 7-game series would just be 4.15 blocks per game... and he can block 3pt attempts. If the team defense is improved, opposing players may not have anywhere to go to get away from Wemby.

Early on, Flagg and Cameron Boozer were in the same draft class. They were considered the same tier prospect. Then Flagg re-classified to graduate high school early since his birthday would just barely allow him in this past draft. I don't know how the 2026 Draft class is doing since then, but...

:st-hungry:

I agree with Scott's predictions... but I'll add one: One of (Vassell / Keldon / Sochan) will actually improve and fill in their missing skill gap (Vassell with defense, Sochan with shooting, or Keldon with decision-making) and actually be a positive impact for the team. To me, that's the only...

Pop's wife died in 2018 and after that his focus shifted to raising the character of young players rather than hold them to a high standard of basketball play. We lost some good assistant coaches and we seemed to only promote people who were raised in Pop's coaching tree; like Will Hardy as...

10-0... I believe
