@StrongArmCobra is a 6”6 black man. Maybe we could sign him?backthepack said:
Also I heard that Anthony Lamb averaged 22 a game on 41 3% shooting for Vermont is thinking of grad transferring to UW. 6”6 stretch four/3. He would be huge. Dude can score. Had 34 against Kansas when they were at full strength this year. Get him and Jaden they are game changers.theknowledge said:This team next year gives me a boner. Naz, Bey, Green, Battle and Hardy as guards, Wright, BPJ, Roberts, Stewart and Sam Timmons up front could be a pretty good looking team that contends for the pac 12 title. If you add in the real possibility of signing McDaniels you get a rare human playing MT's position at the top of the zone and we win the Pac 12 again next year and are a top five seed in the tourney. If Nowell comes back this would be a team that could contend for a final four. We would stop being undersized and scrappy and would be long, lean and scary hard to score on. We would look like Florida State. Fuckin shit, that would be a hell of a team.
Hope Timmins sees the writing on the wall and transfers.
Lamb’s a back up plan for McDaniels. So I don’t think it happens. -

For the most part. If you are a freshman and not in the first 20 picks, you should stay in college. Your body develops so much that year from 19 to 20. And let's be real, even in college all they do is play basketball. That 15 hours a week they play school isn't much.RoadDawg55 said:
There is a myth that you develop more in the NBA because you can commit full time to basketball. In reality, a lot of guys languish on the bench, aren’t ready for the travel, get down on themselves, and nobody gives a fuck.2001400ex said:
To be fair to Wroten. Nothing Romar would do the next year would have helped him. Sitting in the NBA is way better than that would have been.StrongArmCobra said:
He needs to come back if he doesn't want to end up being the next Tony Wroten.Houhusky said:
I dont think its plummeted, it wasnt every really that high... He has only ever been listed on 1-2 pre draft sheets. and that was as a mid to late 2nd round pick.StrongArmCobra said:
Where's he gonna go? His draft stock has plummeted in my mind.UWhuskytskeet said:Disappointing end, hopefully makes Nowell want to come back to win more next year.
Nowell should come back, work on his 3 and ball handling, and then enjoy/benefit from playing with a legitimate PG and bigman as the scoring off guard on a better team.
As it stands, his game doesnt exist in the NBA.
If he goes (im betting he does) his ranking will drop further after workouts/combine because he has below average athleticism for a NBA 2 guard. -
Getting a grad transfer that can score would be huge ... particularly if Nowell leaves
Nowell should stay ... but that doesn’t mean people always make the smart decision
Getting McDaniels puts this team in as a legit Top 10-15 program next year -

Nowell also lost his father a few years ago and his family isn’t quite as well off as others. If he can take care of his mom now, even if it’s not at his peak value, that’s a decision his been wrestling with for a long time.Tequilla said:Getting a grad transfer that can score would be huge ... particularly if Nowell leaves

The smartest decision is often the wrong decision when life factors comes into play. -
That's nice. Can he develop in practice and then sit the bench during games until he's not useless on offense?theknowledge said:
I respect your pessimism and the fact that you didn't jizz AIDS all over my response but Syracuse always seemed to have guys like Wright. Non factors for two and sometimes three years and then as seniors they gave you solid 10pts, 4rb seasons while playing great zone defense having been in the system for four years. A guy names Duany or Duaney? is a guy like this. Not as tall as Wright but was basically a dud for two years and his junior and senior years he was a very solid contributor. I don't think he was as tall as HW either. Kid may not develop, but I'm betting he does.StrongArmCobra said:
That's nice of you to say but I'm trying to be realistic here. Wright has been here for two years and every time he scores a bucket it's still a huge surprise as if it's some bonus points nobody was expecting. He's terrible and I don't see him getting much better. I agree, the talent is looking good and there's reason for optimism but not with Wright or Timmins.theknowledge said:
Baby steps. Making the tourney this year and winning a game was a big accomplishment. The talent coming in is trending up and much like football the players seem to get better under this staff. I feel Naz will be an all P12 player next year and Wright will take a step in the right direction. If he doesn't he will lose minutes to the talent coming up behind him. I happen to think he will rise to the occasion. JMOStrongArmCobra said:
All that sounds good except Hamier Wright needs to go be a male model or just do anything else besides basketball. He's absolutely useless with the ball in his hands. You can't be playing 4 on 5 or 3 on 5 because you've got dudes on the floor who are useless on offense. North Carolina had 5 dudes who could score on the floor at all times and that's what happens. They make it look easy blowing our shit team out.theknowledge said:This team next year gives me a boner.

I'd be an upgrade over Hameir Wright. I can tell you that much. My 5 years of YMCA pick up game playing > Hamier Wright's 2 years of college ball.guntlove said:
