    Troy Williams Decision

    He can't be a 50/50 guy when it comes to bad/good. And too many times it was all bad and no good. He went pretty good stretch where he was honestly just terrible. He needs more consistency. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Declaring early for the draft

    You'd really want to bet money on that? Well it is a good thing you're not a GM. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Declaring early for the draft

    He's a SF that will play at the 3 only. He isn't one of those players that you can stick anywhere else. He can possibly play the 2 in short spurts. He's almost Corey Brewer or Andre Roberson but much much much worse at defense. And with him being a SF... and a SF that v won't be a star in the league... not being able to shoot or defend greatly hurts him. NBA teams love the SF who can play the 3 spot, that are on the court to hit 3's and play defense. That is where the "3-and-D" label came from. You have to play defense in the NBA. Unless you average 25+ a game. Troy would have been a Top 5 pick in the early 2000's. Now he is possibly undrafted. That deals with the shift in the NBA and a rising talent pool. But he'll be fine. He'll either be at Indiana, in the D-league or overseas next year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Late 2016 signing/Grad Transfer

    Antetokounmpo. His brother is the Greek Freak. 6-11 Guard-Forward. Will be playing PG next year for the Bucks. Kostas is "only" 6-9 but is very long and athletic. Loads and loads of potential just like his brother. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    People don't want to admit it really. I'm sure there were people here saying Zeller translated better than Anthony Davis lol. We're comparing 2 PG's. One is 2 inches shorter and 2 years younger. Still able to do things better. Ulis is a better playmaker than Yogi. I'd say he was a better leader and especially for his age. Ulis is a possible lottery pick while Yogi will more likely go undrafted. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Ulis is a borderline lottery pick. He is 2 years younger and honestly better than Yogi. Both are great passers. Ulis averaged more assists a game. Ulis has one thing Yogi doesn't though... and that is a mid range game. Yogi scored either behind the line or at the rim. Ulis has a killer floater and mid range game. And Ulis is a better defender. Yes Yogi was pretty good on defense this year. Not far removed from when he was awful at defense though. If you're a GM and you pick Yogi over Ulis.. you're getting fired. Ulis can be a starter in the NBA at some point. Yogi cant. We all love Yogi. But we're talking about the NBA. It is a very different world.

    Declaring early for the draft

    Kids now think "I'm a Junior, my draft stock won't get any better, so I should leave." Instead of "I'm a Junior, My draft stock won't get any better, only 1 year left of college." Dean Smith had a "rule" that if you were a lock for the lottery then you need to leave. I'd say that is the best thing. If you're an absolute lock for the lottery you should leave if you're a freshman, sophomore or Junior. There are only a few locks in the lottery this year though. A lot of freshmen leaving who won't get picked until the 20's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

  14. I don't think there has been a worse recruiting violations case in CBB for awhile. That I know of. This is an NCAA violation, moral and legal issue. UofL should honestly be destroyed by sanctions. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app
  15. D-League is always a possibility. But Vonleh had spent a ton of time as a starter for a playoff team this year. Vonleh still went Top 10 as well. In the range he was expected to go. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Are these fair penalties for these schools? UofL: Loss of 15 scholarships over 5 years. Post season ban for 2016-2017 season. A 15 game suspension for Pitino if they believe he didn't know. A full season ban if they believe he did know. A lifetime ban for McGhee. Vacated wins in years with players involved. UNC: A loss of all scholarships for 5 years. Vacated wins for games with players involved. 3 years post season ban. 20 game suspension for Roy Williams. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

    Looking to next season

    Also saw where OG scored 10 less points than Hartman in 300 less minutes. That is good for OG. Obviously Hartman is more of just a hustle guy while OG has serious potential and an NBA future.

    "This guy truly is a bag of crap." Well it is a win-win for the athletes. They get a chance to test the waters and cone back to school. That is huge. Just because Cal said it doesn't mean he's wrong lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app
