I’d like to know the story behind all the Grant Nelson is “expected to commit” stories haha This is from people who normally wouldn’t dare to break news that way. Somebody important, maybe Nelson himself, needed that made public right now.
2003-born 🇸🇪 F Bobi Klintman is expected to sign a deal in the NBL for the 2023/24 season as part of the NBL Next Stars program, sources told Eurohopes. https://t.co/TZoFa4NntI
Yeah to me if Stevenson is determined to go in '23 and get on the court, Alabama is still the best option. They have enough now in numbers but none of them are established. As things stand, they’re probably starting Nelson and a juco big man, with freshman Sam Walters as the 3rd big.
I don’t totally understand how the NBL Next Stars program helps the NBL. It was cool when they got LaMelo and RJ Hampton, but the guys who’ve done it since then haven’t been as splashy of a PR draw, and I would guess they aren’t always ready to help their teams right away.
Feels like Stevenson overplayed his hand. His best option might actually be seeing if Dunn blows up and is a draft prospect and coming to Cville in 24.
Where was the slow-mo holding the basketball looking out to nowhere with the voiceover explaining how much he loved basketball since he was a little kid? Disappointed.
Malcolm Thomas from Dematha offered by Villanova today. Bugging hgn, probably won’t offer this kid as we are looking for more 3pt shooting in the front court (and rightfully so, looking for a Igor/[REDACTED]/Jacob Groves roster replacement)
But man this kid is the kind of forward we have been missing in the front court for ages. 6’8 small ball center akin to Atkins and Akil Mitchell. Absolutely dominated Pat Ngongba (as seen in the later half of the clips below). Also don’t know if Dematha is a no-go for UVA bball like UVA football. Seems like a @Mikeysurf question.
