Agree with that assessment 100%. As a pro prospect he’s kind of funky. A 6’1”-6’2” scoring guard without a great handle is not exactly a prototype, even with his length and explosiveness. But, man, he’s plays so hard and he’s so efficient and he’s a grown-a$$ man physically that I think he’ll be a monster in college and despite his class rating I don’t think it would be completely shocking if he played more than 1 year.

Every single word there could be true and it doesn’t change the fact that they lost a guy they’d put 2 years into. I imagine if he wanted to reclass the amount they probably invested in their backcourt probably made that one prohibitive.

Pacers give up a 2nd and a 2nd round swap to Memphis for Jay Huff. Helps patch their center hole while they have 15 months or so to determine a long term plan. Strictly a rotation guy.

And the 1st of what I’m sure will be multiple teams give up on the Cam Whitmore experience as Houston deals him to Washington for a couple of 2nds.

For anyone looking to watch Smith the US plays New Zealand at 2pm EDT today.

Starts next Thursday. I assume Kam Jones will hit the roster once the trade is announced. What a ridiculous rule that is.

Yup, and a staff that’s not just ok with them taking those looks but demanding them. That moment in the training video when Kenny busted somebody for passing up a look did this old heart good.

A few years ago this would have most likely been UNC against the field, and while I don’t see IU here at all, it really says something about where Hubert is right now that this legitimately feels like an open recruitment.

Yeah, I could’ve read that closer.

Prince’s prediction for IUFB’s record. Figured he should be included here since he’s, ya know, everywhere now. That kid is killing me.

I’m fine with due diligence on pretty much any player and the kid is such a freak show physically that I imagine when DDV saw him up close he decided you just have to dig in a little bit. Or maybe Kenny has some backstory and thinks he’s a decent kid who’s been handled poorly. Either way, given that they’ve offered basically every top 30 big in the class I doubt this becomes a thing.

Who was the last kid who got into being a Hoosier as fast and as hard as Moody has? I’m not even sure Cupps did. That kid is liking or re-tweeting or responding to or pushing absolutely any IU thing he can find. Love it.

Finally got around to looking at his DMV Live stats. The young man shot 60/76 from the floor and 19/56 from the line that included a 4/17 game and a 1/10 game. So if he ain’t dunkin’ it, he ain’t makin’ it.

Surely to God they don’t get in on Ayton, right?

Myles to the Bucks for 4/107 with a year 4 player option and a full trade kicker. Congrats to Myles on cashing in, but in no universe should the Pacers have done that. Daniel Gafford, who’s not as good as Turner but a legit dude who’s younger signed for 3/54. Nic Claxton, baby. Make it happen, Pritch.

Jesus, why would they drop that poor kid in a highlight video? They couldn't just show a dunk from the layup line?

Never could figure out what a winning argument for him was supposed to be.

That’s a nice group. They don’t have nearly the depth of talent of EYBL, but Adidas’ high end talent is really, really good.

Can’t lie, took me a minute to remember Luke.

The WVU AD has been nothing but a good dude throughout.

And doing it as the youngest player on the team.

I’m not getting the Hatton talk. How he can he possibly be eligible for a waiver? He played 4 years post-Covid. No injury history. He played in, what, maybe 20 games last year? Was William & Mary not D1 his freshman year?

Local H is plain cool. Scott Lucas is great. They also did a great version of Wolf Like Me and a lot of their catalog is just fun.

Surprised it took that long, though it looks like DDV isn’t Creanish and busting out offers after 1 good viewing.
