76ers and losing in the conference semis...name a more iconic duo. Once Tatum boomed them in the 4th of game 6, felt like they were crushed.

Like that he is making the decision quickly. Maybe(probably) means nothing, but better than a longer process.

Exactly this. I know many posters long for the days when a kid plays for the pride of the school (and it's still true in some cases), but there are many variables in each recruitment. Money is a HUGE one. Within the last year, I changed jobs from a job I loved into a position I was very uncertain about, and one of the key factors was a substantial pay increase. Now I imagine an 18 year old mind, and if the difference in money is 5-10x what I left for, it would play a major influence. I think IU has the money to keep them in conversation, but we have to accept kids will be looking for pay. They add a lot of value for the university.

Added to your 3, Sensabaugh, Howard, and Bufkin.are all probable 1st rounders. Sensabaugh, IMO, has potential to be a high level player, and Kobe Bufkin really came on strong. I could see him carving a role.

Home and away jerseys dont really exist in the NBA anymore. For the regular season, they get a schedule and wear what Nike tells them to wear. In the Playoffs, I think (although not 100%, someone please correct me if I'm wrong) the home team selects their jersey and the road team has to pick one that contrasts.

Not sure how injuries fall under this, but Vic still has a player option for 1 year. ~9.5M on his contract. He might retire, but I hope he opts in, gets the $$$, and uses NBA level rehab facilities even if he never plays again.

How would you say Mustaf's game compares/contrasts with JHS?

Looked bad. I hate this.

Strange situation in Toronto. Masai seems like a "win now" guy, but apparently they are willing to move pieces like Siakam and O.G.(which would indicate a rebuild). Pacers have the draft capital but would have to part with a talented young player as well. The Knicks could springboard to an East contender with him? New Orleans has picks, but if Zion doesnt get healthy it doesnt matter if they add OG.

Still a long way to go here.

Well that was short-lived. Carry on.

Hawks getting every loose ball and rebound, so aggressive. It's their night.

Link? I feed on the despair

But what does Pepe Silvia shoot from 3?

So do we know.if Coach Hunter has secured an interview? Or is it just speculation at this point?

Was looking at some mocks last night and it seems like he is projected as a solid 2nd round pick. Very good improvement in the past 2 years, especially in court vision. So we think he projects as a small 5 that will be fit-specific? Comparisons I can think of are Wenyen Gabriel or Kevon Looney. Thoughts?

Wow please tell your husband to keep watching!

Tbh he didnt really need a March run. He had his show out during the season and seems to be solidly locked into the 10-20 position on most mocks. He can and probably should go.

No way he stays

Baby steps! Maybe someday soon we can get our ***** kicked in the sweet 16!

And Painter had thr gall to say, "If they call it by the rules, they're fouling him on every possession." Laughable.

LETS GOOOO!!!

No I'm also glad they didnt trade. Just already rooting for the 2023 tank.

Colts getting left behind again. Tank for next year?

I think you are right om with this. Maybe no one commitment is imminent but JHS becoming a draft pick will make Indiana more attractive and be a talking point for Woodson and staff. 2023 is a different story. Not much time left but we will be hitting the portal hard.
