Alot, but it was still an A+ effort. :joy:

I don’t know about the draft buzz but he can’t play a lick of defense from the prior videos I’ve seen. I guess i need to go watch that Duke scrimmage

When traudt is a wash, it’ll be just as much because he has the enthusiasm of snufalupagus as it will be where he transferred to.

Amazing imagery. But also some truth. HGN has noted in the past from his view, kids who have the goods just need to want it badly enough. If they got the goods, it isn’t as much a coaching thing as it is a drive thing. (Traudt could have that drive, mostly just saying coaching ain’t the most important variable).

If Huff played more during the natty run, none of the games would have even been close

Kihei AND Jack Salt in the starting lineup. Can’t have two non scoring options.

You just have to offset it with two first round draft picks and an all American

Yes, and this is a pretty egregious oversight-- Taine should have played more his 1st year, particularly after the Iowa game, but should not have played at all his 2nd year and should not play at all this year because he really regressed after his 1st year skill-wise and athletically.

To be fair to us, here, the reason our criticisms of Taine’s PT are totally incoherent is that Tony’s usage of Taine has been totally incoherent.

Like, it will never not be hilarious to me that in Taine’s only extended PT against decent competition, we had him cover one of the (now) best young players in the NBA, despite a universal rep as being a bit lacking on the defensive end.

We finally agree. :joy:

Want to defend his usage against Murray, or just me being stupid again?

Did he guard Reeves or some shit?

Kris Murray (my bad - Keegan)

This but Key instead of Huff. The Ty-Kyle-Dre-Braxton foursome was on track for some of the best lineups in advanced stats history but for some reason we just went away from it midway through ACC play. Until the title game that is

Braxton was so so huge in the title game. Amazing he got to have that solo dunk at the end

Last I heard he committed to UVA but I could be wrong there.

Brutal dig for Villanova. He was a target, he models his game after Jalen Brunson, and they couldn’t land him. Salt in the wound that he shares this with the Virginia sports site.
