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.

I think Nowell stays.

What I’ve heard is Jaden McDaniels is basically a lock. Close with Hop and momma’s boy wants to stay close to home.

Heard that Jaylen is going to leave.

Disappointing end, hopefully makes Nowell want to come back to win more next year.

Where's he gonna go? His draft stock has plummeted in my mind.

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.

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.

He needs to come back if he doesn't want to end up being the next Tony Wroten.

Jesus fucking Christ, there is zero similarity between Nowell and Wroten's game. If you want program comps Nowell is a less athletic Ross with a better jumper.

I didn't say his game was similar to Wroten's. The comparison was used to describe how I think his pro career will go if he jumps to the NBA after this season before he's ready. Wroten is now out of the league and playing oversees.

It's still a weird comp. Wroten flamed out because he was a one-trick pony who could never fix his jump shot. Nowell is a jack of all trades guy who can shoot, drive, and ball handle. He's an average athlete who still needs to improve in every facet, but he has the tools to stick around for awhile as a depth player.

No it fucking isn't you idiot. Saying someone will end up being the next Tony Wroten is saying "He's a talented guard who plays for UW but will have a flame out NBA career if he leaves college too soon." That's it. Why do you keep comparing them as players? They don't have to be exactly the fucking same as players to understand what the fucking point was you moron.

Right, he's also gonna be the next Jake Locker. Good talk.

So you heard Jaylen is leaving buy you think he's staying? I hope he stays. I hope McDaniels comes and fuck it, I'd take a guy like Lamb just to have a guy like Lamb on the team. If I'm trading Lamb for a Timmons couch sale I make that deal all day long. Dudes have off nights, Jaylon did in the p12ccg. We need to be able to run scorers out there until we find the one or two or three who have the hot hand. NC just ran big, athletic scorers at us all game long and we didn't have enough talent to compete with that kind of depth. Thats the type of talented depth that we need to strive for and getting a transfer senior added to our juniors, sophomores and the super freshman could make for a pretty lethal team.

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.


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.

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.

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. JMO

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.

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 is a 6”6 black man. Maybe we could sign him?
