    Final 4 or bust

    I get it, it's fun to dream, but an Elite 8 would be fantastic to me.

    We're talking about a coach who has one exactly one tournament game and a program that hasn't been past the sweet 16 since 19 fucking 53.

    We won't be top 10 preseason. Getting to the E8 would be a huge huge step.
    Should also be noted it's going to be a ROUGH road for whatever team wins the conference, even given the class we have, Arizona AND USC are ahead of us in rankings, and Oregon is only 4 spots back.

    There's been nothing but big dick energy from Hopkins so far, he'll need to keep it going.
    We have the two best players in the conference we’ll be fine.

    I know all-star game bullshit, but Stewart consistently dominated all that shit and was getting shout outs from his peers as a guy that impressed from practice.

    I expect him to be very good out the gate.

    I could see McDaniels being a little disappointing or things taking awhile to click.

    I do like the idea of Stewart pushing McDaniels/team behind the scenes with his work ethic. That seems to be the knock on Jaden is he doesn't go 100% so hopefully Stewarts presence changes that.

    Why
    Because he didn’t have to try in HS ball. He tried and dominated the EYBL circuit last summer and that’s why he blew up.
    So you're literally admitting he didn't try in HS ball in an effort to prove the "he doesn't give 100%" narrative wrong?

    I don't know the answer to the question, but that's one hell of a tactic.
    My point is when he was challenged against better players he tried. When are you playing fucking Pumpy Jr @ Ennumclaw you don’t even to try with his level talent to get 28 and 12. The point is he’ll play hard next year. I don’t understand the effort thing that is used to drop dudes in like the top 50 of dudes. It’s all about skillsets and Jaden works hard.
    He’s good and will be a high pick based on his potential. That said, he lacks a killer mindset, his shot is above average but not great, and he’s too small to dominate around the hoop.

    Stewart is too big, too strong, and has too high of motor not to dominate. It’s a sure thing.

    I see a 12-14 points and 6-8 rebounds guy. A good second or third option that has a game that is still growing, but we will only get one year. I am excited about his length in the zone and I’m pumped we got him, but he’s not Kevin Durant.
    Jaden will get 16-17 game. Best part of his game is his shot making.
    I'm in the 14-16 range. He's going to be good. He's not going to be a superstar at UW.

    Jaden was like the 13th best player who participated in today’s game. Shockingly bad

    He's obviously better than he played today.

    Butt still.

    He’s bad. He’s actually not good at all. If Hop has a pair he would bench him

    I was first to note that McDaniels couldn’t shoot.
    Which is shocking, because what the fuck is all the hype for if he can't shoot? His ball handling is reckless and he can't bang inside. He's a decent defender and I guess that's the extent of his college skill set.

    He does a little of everything. He does nothing particularly well.
