Well, when you toss the word “immensely” in there, it gives you a lot of wiggle room.
The Swedish prospect, Klintman, certainly seems to have taken notice of Dre’s career path. We’re developing a nice track record developing non-Top 50 recruits into NBA players. I certainly don’t think that has gone unnoticed. I think it is getting us into living rooms. Whether it is helping us close deals, I don’t think anyone outside of our coaching staff really knows
I also think we know pretty well that opposing coaches used to use our lack of NBA players against us, and that arrow is no longer in their quiver.
But that’s exactly what he will do in the NBA. Stand in the corner and shoot at an absurdly accurate rate. He is a much better prospect than Joe was and Joe is going to make tens of millions standing in the corner freeing up space for others.
As I said before I don’t see a lick of difference between he and Cam Johnson. If anything given his age he is a better prospect. Johnson went 11th.
I’m gonna read into this a little. UK and Villanova need a 2 guard and are out with Keels. He’s down to UVa and Duke but more than likely picks Duke (noting the possibly Virginia). That’s my theory but I don’t really believe it.
Im fully expecting a Reece, Armaan Franklin, Seth Lundy, CJ Felder, Walker Kessler starting lineup next year averaging 25 minutes. And everyone else off the bench averaging 15 minutes a game to develop more. Would be an athletic/dawg fight starting line up with solid 3pt shooting at the 2-3-4. Hopefully Reece makes 500 3s aday this summer.
They might also have better chemistry as a team due to there being an actual offseason and summer workouts with Mike Curtis
Johnson had a lot bigger role and had established himself as someone who could create and score some off the dribble in the mid range. Trey is a better athlete, but his sample is much much smaller and on a smaller role. I’d be happy to see him in the first round
WRT Trey Murphy’s draft status: His projected spot in the draft is not just dependent upon his talent. It is also affected by the talents of others who are in the draft. While I don’t follow these things, I am given to understand that this is an exceptionally strong draft class. In some year’s, Murphy would likely be a first round selection, and he should jump at the opportunity. This year, he needs to evaluate where he sits in the pecking order of things. I think we all want what is best for him. His potential is certainly worth a second look by NBA teams, and that is upon what draft decisions are based. What is at issue here is how many other players have more potential.
Guys let’s try not to drag out these debates. Most visitors here only come to read through the latest news, on available transfers in this thread. Create a new thread and go at it all day, that’s cool.
